My well is flooded
wrote in message ... I live in the country and have a well. I have been noticing my water seems wetter than it used to. I decided to take the cover off my well and have a look. When I looked into the well, I was shocked. I expected to see a pump and pipes and whatever else is supposed to be in there. Instead I saw water almost to the top of the well. The well is supposed to be 370 feet deep and I can see water maybe 25 feet from the top. My well is flooded. No wonder the water is wetter. I live in Minnesota, so this flooding is not from the hurricanes, and we have not had any severe rain storms. I dont know what caused this flooding. I am afraid the water is going to ruin my pump and pipes. What can I do to solve this? Should I report this to the Red Cross or FEMA, and should I call my insurance company? I shut off the water pump just to be safe. I hope someone can fix this soon because hauling bath and toilet water 14 miles from the city is alot of work. Paul First thing to check is those pipes hooked up to where your fuse panel enters the house. Some were installed filled with copper wires and won't let the water drain properly so it has to back up to your well. Just rent a pipe auger, and go at it AMUN |
