Your Questions Answered

  • WHAT IS A WELL LINER AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?
    A liner can be used to repair a well with a damaged or perforated well casing. Additionally, a liner can be utilized to block undesired layers of water that may flow into the well (like layers with sediment or contamination). Liners are basically a sleeve of PVC pipe with a "packer." The packer is a plug that is installed in the space between the casing and the sleeve at a location below the well casing or below the undesired water layer. This effectively isolates the unwanted parts of the well from the well pump and the desired water. A liner cannot be used in every situation and sometimes a new well must be drilled.

  • DO YOU OFFER FINANCING?
    Yes! We work with Greensky and Goodleap financing companies. You can choose from a variety of different options.
  • WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF A WELL PUMP?
    The average life span of a submersible well pump is around 10-12 years. Some more, some less. Several factors, such as, water quality, run time, & pressure tank play a role in how long a well pump will last. If you have any challenging factors let your Chatfield Service Team know and we can suggest a variety of pumps to fit your needs.
  • CAN WELLS GO DRY?
    Yes they can. Depending on the water table in your area your well may not produce all of your water needs in one day. We can install storage tanks if you need more water than your well can produce. If your well has never gone dry before but all of a sudden you have no water...You need to Contact Us!
