Capping Wells

A licensed well driller can properly abandon your old well by following JCSA and Virginia Departments of Health and Environmental Quality guidelines.

The well driller will remove remaining well casings and obstructions like old pumps or debris, and then seal the well with grout, concrete or bentonite.

Abandonment only takes a few hours, and the JCSA will inspect the well abandonment process to insure quality and safety standards
