Water Well Maintenance

Proper water well maintenance is not just a recommendation—it's essential for protecting your water quality, ensuring the safety of your family, and prolonging the life of your well system. At 77 Water Well Inc., we specialize in providing reliable, routine, and emergency well maintenance services for homes, farms, and commercial properties across Texas. Backed by decades of experience, we offer certified inspections, well water testing, pump servicing, and complete system evaluations to keep your water flowing clean and efficiently.

Why Water Well Maintenance Matters

A private water well is an excellent long-term investment—but it's not a 'set-it-and-forget-it' system. Without regular upkeep, your well can become vulnerable to contaminants, pressure issues, bacterial growth, and mechanical failure. Our professional maintenance services ensure safe drinking water free from bacteria, nitrates, or heavy metals; consistent water pressure and flow; early detection of mechanical issues or pump inefficiency; full compliance with Texas water safety regulations; and a longer system lifespan with fewer emergency breakdowns.

Annual Well Inspection & Reporting

Our technicians conduct a thorough, 28-point inspection of your water system, which includes wellhead inspection for cracks, corrosion, or exposure; electrical system checks; pressure tank evaluation; pump motor testing; pipe integrity and sediment buildup check; flow rate and water drawdown test; and ground surface drainage and seal inspection. We provide a full report with photos, findings, and recommendations—keeping you fully informed.

Water Quality Testing

Well water can change over time due to environmental factors, aging components, or groundwater movement. We perform comprehensive water testing for bacterial contamination (E. coli, coliform), nitrate and nitrite levels, heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and iron, pH level and hardness, and sulfates, chlorides, and other dissolved solids. We recommend annual testing, or more frequently if there's a change in taste, smell, color, or system performance.

Pump and Pressure System Maintenance

Your well pump and pressure tank are the lifeline of your water supply. Our service includes checking and adjusting the pressure switch, inspecting the bladder tank for proper air pressure, cleaning sediment filters, checking for cycling or water hammer, motor amp draw and continuity testing, and impeller and motor housing inspection. Regular servicing reduces wear and ensures steady, efficient water delivery to your property.

Well Chlorination & Disinfection

If water test results show contamination—or if the well has been recently serviced or flooded—we offer well shock chlorination to disinfect the system. This includes flushing bacteria and biofilm from pipes, neutralizing organic contaminants, and post-treatment retesting to ensure water safety. We use EPA-approved methods to ensure clean, potable water after disinfection.

Service Plans for Ongoing Protection

We offer flexible scheduled maintenance plans designed to reduce the risk of breakdowns and keep your water supply reliable year-round. Our packages include annual inspections, priority service access, discounted repairs, and scheduled water testing reminders. Custom plans are available based on well depth, water usage, and location.
