There are often no visible signs of bacterial contamination. The only way to confirm is through professional water testing, which 77 Water Well recommends annually.

What causes low water pressure in a well system?

The Well Plugging Process

Our licensed team removes the pump and all equipment from the well, fills the casing with approved grouting material (typically neat cement or bentonite) from the bottom up, seals the wellhead, and files the required abandonment report with TCEQ. We handle all paperwork and regulatory compliance.
