Whether you have an abandoned well, an unused water well, or a well that has reached the end of its lifecycle, our professional team offers plug and abandonment (P&A) solutions tailored to your site conditions.
As part of our comprehensive water well services, our well plugging methods prioritize wellbore sealing, groundwater protection, and surface reclamation to mitigate risks such as methane emissions, aquifer contamination, and land subsidence. We proudly serve property owners, ranchers, municipalities, and industrial clients across Texas who need environmentally responsible and code-compliant well closure.
Why Well Plugging Is Critical for Property Owners and the Environment
Many landowners are unaware that abandoned or inactive wells pose a serious risk to groundwater safety, soil health, and even legal liability. Over time, open or improperly plugged wells can become conduits for contaminants, allow for hydrocarbon leaks, or create hazards for people and livestock.
Texas law requires that non-productive wells be properly plugged to ensure public safety and regulatory compliance. At 77 Water Well Inc., we provide the peace of mind that comes from working with a licensed, experienced contractor who knows the plugging regulations, understands subsurface abandonment, and follows industry best practices.
What Is the Well Plugging Process?
Our well plugging process at 77 Water Well Inc. follows a structured, code-compliant approach designed to safely isolate the wellbore and prevent cross-contamination of underground formations. Here’s a general outline of what we do:
Step 1: Site Assessment and Planning
We begin with a comprehensive site inspection to determine the well depth, casing type, and surrounding hydrogeology. This step ensures we select the appropriate cement plug materials and design a closure plan that adheres to EPA and Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) standards.
Step 2: Removal of Well Components
All internal components of the well such as pipes, pumps, and casing liners are removed to allow unobstructed access to the borehole. In some cases, partial casing removal is required, depending on the well’s construction and condition.
Step 3: Plug Installation
We use high-quality cement plugs or other approved sealing materials to fill the well in a staged sequence, ensuring that each zone is properly sealed. Our certified technicians place cement at critical depth intervals, such as water-bearing zones, to guarantee long-term well integrity.
Step 4: Surface Reclamation
Once the subsurface is fully sealed, we backfill the upper portion of the well with native soil, restore the surface area, and, if required, provide documentation of the plugging for regulatory authorities.
