What Is Well Rehabilitation?
Well rehabilitation is the process of restoring a well’s performance, efficiency, and reliability without immediately resorting to drilling a new well. Over time, wells can lose capacity due to mineral buildup, sediment, biological growth, declining water tables, or improperly sized equipment.
Signs a Well May Need Rehabilitation
Common indicators include reduced flow, increased sand or sediment, declining pressure, excessive pump cycling, higher electrical costs, or pumps that fail prematurely. These symptoms often point to underlying issues that can be corrected when properly diagnosed.
Why Rehabilitation Matters in West Texas
As groundwater levels continue to decline across West Texas, wells are being pushed harder than ever. Rehabilitation can extend the life of an existing well, improve efficiency, and reduce long-term operating costs while preserving the water resource.
Our Diagnostic-First Approach
At Dapper Pump Service Inc., we don’t guess. Rehabilitation starts with understanding the well’s construction, set depth, pump sizing, and current performance. From there, we determine whether mechanical adjustments, cleaning, redevelopment, or system redesign will provide the best outcome.
More Than Just Pulling a Pump
Effective rehabilitation often involves correcting pump set depth, resizing equipment, addressing sand or scale issues, improving flow paths, and ensuring the entire system works together efficiently — not just replacing parts.
