Water testing
Although most well water is naturally microbiologically
safe, some wells test positive for bacteria. Most of
the time, the source of the contamination is from
above ground. If the well does not have a sanitary
bug proof cap, insects can enter the well head and
cause a positive bacteria count. Health departments recommend having your water tested annually. All of our technicians have been trained to sample water for the certified labs in our area.
Shock Chlorination
Should your well test positive for bacteria, shock chlorinating usually destroys the source. We have
developed a thorough procedure to ensure the chlorination process is completed most effectively. We
can either shock the well for you or you can contact us for a copy of our easy to follow instructions.
If chlorination fails, an ultraviolet light system is a guaranteed long term cure. More about UV info
Preferred Customer Maintenance Agreements:
Just like your heating/cooling systems, your well system should be serviced annually and a bacteria sample taken to ensure proper operation and safety. Preventative maintenance always saves you money by correcting small issues before they grow into costly emergencies. Our friendly and knowledgeable technicians will inspect the key components, correct basic problems, make adjustments, replace minor parts, site test your water for mineral content, and sample the water for bacteria to ensure that your water is microbiologically safe.
Our maintenance agreement also guarantees priority emergency service 7 days per week and provides you with a discount on other services.

Down well camera investigation service
When drilling a well, drilling contractors are basically working blind. We must use our experience, knowledge of the local geology, and analysis of the rock shavings to guide us as we construct a well.
Edward Powell Pump and Well Drilling, Inc. has invested in a new tool called the downhole camera. If a construction problem arises due to the geology, we can send the camera down and actually see how to correct the problem. We will know what technology, materials, and tools to use to fix it right. The result is a properly constructed well and money savings.
We have been able to save some customers a lot of money by repairing their existing well instead of abandoning it to drill a new one. These savings would not have been possible without the camera.
