Wyatt Water Well Service LLC

Before construction begins, we prepare the site with appropriate access, staging, and erosion control. Proper site slope and drainage reduce surface water pooling near the well head, protecting against contamination. We place the well in the best practical location to avoid septic systems, fuel storage, or other contamination sources while maintaining access for rig and future service.

Casing protects the borehole and provides a conduit for pumps. We choose casing material (steel or PVC), wall thickness, and diameter based on depth, geologic conditions, and pumping requirements. Proper casing protects against collapse, corrosion, and surface intrusion, and it forms the foundation of a long-lasting well.

Choosing the right screen slot size and gravel-pack material prevents fine material infiltration while preserving water flow. Our experts select screens and pack materials to match formation characteristics and expected sediment loads—critical for maintaining clarity and pump life.

A critical step in construction is backfilling the annulus around the casing with grout to create a sanitary seal. This prevents surface water and shallow contaminants from migrating into deeper, potable zones. We apply grouting materials according to code and best practices to ensure effective long-term sealing.

We install protective well caps, concrete collars, and frost protection where needed. Proper wellhead construction prevents contamination, provides mechanical protection for the casing, and ensures easy access for future maintenance and testing.

Once the well is constructed and developed, we select the appropriate pump type and setting for the required yield and drawdown characteristics. Submersible pumps are commonly used for most domestic and commercial wells; we set them at depths that balance available drawdown with efficient pump operation to avoid running the pump too deep or too shallow.

Properly installed electrical systems and control panels are crucial for safe and efficient operation. We wire pumps to code, install reliable pressure switches or variable frequency drives (VFDs) for complex installations, and provide clear user instructions. For commercial installations, we can provide redundant systems or automatic transfer switches as needed.

After construction and pump installation, we disinfect the well to ensure bacterial safety and perform yield and drawdown tests to verify performance. We document results and provide water samples for additional testing when requested by clients or regulatory agencies.

Large users require system design that accommodates peak flow, redundancy, and energy efficiency. For irrigation or industrial processes we evaluate the need for multiple wells, booster pumps, large-diameter casings, and reserve capacity. Properly designed systems reduce downtime and improve water delivery during critical periods.

When wells lose yield or display sediment issues, rehabilitation may restore function. We perform well cleaning, redevelopment, and re-screening where practical. Rehabilitation can extend the life of existing wells, often at lower cost than full replacement.

We provide as-built diagrams, depth logs, and completion reports. Proper documentation is essential for resale, permitting, and future service. We ensure that constructed wells meet state and local codes and provide necessary paperwork to regulatory agencies or property owners.
