Increase Water Flow Through Hydrofracturing

A procedure designed to increase the amount of water in existing dry and low yield water wells. Hydrofracturing is a well development process that involves injecting water under high pressure into a bedrock formation via the well. This is intended to increase the size and extent of existing bedrock fractures, pumping water into those fractures at pressures as high as 3000 psi and flow rates as high as 85 gallons per minute, this cleans out the fractures and allows them to interconnect with nearby water bearing fractures. Water can then flow back thru these fractures and into the well at a faster rate than before.

Making Sure Water Yield is Adequate

Process Water

It is extremely important that only clean, disinfected water is used for injection water because of the extreme pressures involved and the potential for forcing contaminant deep into the bedrock aquifer. Mayer’s Well Drilling will use only clean potable water from our own water well. We will use around 3000 gallons on a single frac job and up to 10,000 gallons on a Zone frac job.

Yield Testing

When successful, hydrofracturing can produce modest well yield increases. However, depending on the original yield of the well, a modestly increased yield may represent a significant increase if the original yield was very low. Atypical well yield rate after hydrofracturing is 1/2 to 5 gallons per minute though occasionally large increases in well recovery rates are realized. Due to geologic conditions, in some instances hydrofracturing will not increase well yield. Because of the large volumes of water used in the process, Mayer’s Well Drilling recommends waiting a minimum of 48 hours to do a yield test. This allows the bedrock aquifer to reach equilibrium. This will ensure a more true test.

Summary

Though there is no way to predict exactly what the outcome will be, Mayer’s Well Drilling has generally had a 95% success rate using the Hydrofracturing process in our service area and would recommend it to well owners that suffer from inadequate water yield.

Positive: Quality, Responsiveness, Value

I put the house for sale, but the well water has coliform bacteria, could not pass the water test. Although Chlorinate well shot is not the best solution for treatment, most of the plumber recommend for ultra light system which cost $1300. I quoted around Mayer's price is the best. Derek came over to the property in the next available appointment, did well service, drained all the faucets in the house, make sure the chlorine get into every pipe.

He also gave me instruction how to drain the water next day!

Invoice followed, nice communications too.

The key thing is: water test passed:

The above Coliform/E. coli Result(s)______DO________meet the DEP/EPA standards.

Highly recommended!

We can’t THANK YOU enough for the timely & quality emergency job you did for us on Saturday !!! It was less than 3 hours from my first (panicked) phone call until the well was fixed. That’s unheard of !!! Your knowledge of what needed to be done was very comforting & helpful !!! 🤗 THANK YOU AGAIN FOR A JOB WELL DONE !!! 👍

Thanks for doing a great job!! They turned an old well buried into a safe above ground set up.

Prompt professional service. I called them just before 7 am, and spoke with a person. I received a call back at 7:20. Their technicians had resolved my problems and left my residence by 9am. What more could you ask for.
