So how does one remove the pipe casing to see if the footvalve is bad?
I estimate this pipe goes down a good 25 feet? In sections I'm
assuming.

You don't remove the _casing_ at all; assuming the hole _is_ cased it's
the outer wall of the wellhole and is permanent.

You pull the suction pipe by whatever means is required depending on
what it is. If it is inside there either has to be an access if it has
full joints (or the house was built around it which would be pretty
silly thing to have done) or it is in short joints that have clearance
or flexible plastic that can be coiled as it comes.
