My wife and I were building our new house. The well pump had just been installed and I was eager to turn the water on and flush the well. The well had been drilled a couple years before the start of construction and at that time was producing 4 gpm. Much to my dismay after running the water for only 5-10 minutes my well had gone dry! It was suggested to me that I call Holmes Hydrofracturing to try and restore flow to my well. The process was quick and professional and after a mornings work my well was producing plenty of water. I have not had a problem since. I would highly recommend Holmes Hydrofracturing to anyone.
James RichmondTamworth, OnHydrofracturing
Hydrofracturing was originally developed to service the oil and gas industry in the 1940s, but has been altered to service the water well industry as many of the same principles apply.
With hydrofracturing of water wells, we only use chlorinated safe drinking water instead of the chemicals, sulfates and propulants used in the oil and gas industry.
How Does It Work?
Hydrofracturing is a water well development process that involves injecting high-pressure water via the well into the bedrock formation immediately surrounding it. This process is intended to widen existing fractures in the bedrock and/or extend them further into the formation thereby enlarging the network of water bearing fractures supplying water to the well.
Low Cost Solution
Water well stimulation is a cost effective means of increasing the yield of existing wells with insufficient production rates, or existing older wells with decreased production rates due to incrustation or mineralization of existing bedrock fractures.
