Located an Abandoned Well on Your Property? Let us Help.
If you have discovered an unused well, our team provides expert water well abandonment services for residential, agricultural, municipal, and commercial applications.
As your dedicated water well contractor, our office handles the entire permit application process and schedules the necessary appointments with your County Health Department Sanitarian. Once the well is sealed, we provide both you and the county with the official well sealing affidavit documentation, ensuring you are in full legal compliance.
Why Proper Well Sealing is Essential
If your well system has deteriorated or is “out-of-service,” hiring a professional water well abandonment company is often a legal requirement under the Illinois Water Well Construction Code.
An abandoned well can pose a serious health and safety hazard. If sealed improperly—or not at all—it becomes a direct route for groundwater contamination. Proper sealing:
- Satisfies legal requirements (Illinois law requires sealing within 30 days of abandonment).
- Protects groundwater from surface pollutants.
- Ensures physical safety on your acreage.
- Decreases liability for the landowner.
