Serving Boone, NC, and surrounding areas, we follow state-mandated procedures to guarantee your well system's safety and compliance.
Anytime a well seal is removed for repairs or during a new well installation, it must be chlorinated to ensure the water's safety and cleanliness.
If a well inspection or water test detects bacteria such as Coliform or E. coli, chlorination is critical to disinfect the system and restore water quality.
We add hypochlorite to the well to create a chlorine residual of at least 100 ppm, ensuring effective bacterial removal. Only safe, compliant products are used for treatment.
The hypochlorite is introduced to the well, either in granular form or as a solution, and placed at the bottom for optimal disinfection using specialized equipment.
We agitate and circulate the water within the well to evenly distribute the chlorine, reaching every part of the system and its components.
Before sealing the process, the well casing, pump column, and other equipment are thoroughly rinsed with the chlorine solution to ensure complete disinfection.
The chlorine solution sits in the well for at least 24 hours, allowing sufficient time to neutralize contaminants.
After the chlorination process, we pump the well until there is no traceable chlorine, ensuring the system is ready for safe use.

Homeowners can shock their own wells, but it's easy to use the wrong product or amount, or to skip steps that really matter. North Carolina's well rules call for plain hypochlorite (not stabilized tablets) at a concentration of at least 100 parts per million, along with thorough mixing and rinsing of the casing and equipment. Hiring a certified well contractor takes the guesswork out of it because they know how to meet state guidelines.
The chlorine needs to sit in the well for at least 24 hours to do its job. After that, your contractor pumps the well until the water tests free of chlorine, which can take several more hours. Plan on going without your well water for a day or two from start to finish.
Hold off on drinking or cooking with it until a test shows that no chlorine remains, since high chlorine levels can irritate your skin and stomach. About a week or two later, retest for bacteria to make sure the treatment worked. If bacteria keep coming back, a disinfection or filtration system may offer a longer-term fix.
Heavy rain and flooding can wash surface water into a well, especially one with a cracked cap, damaged casing, or a poor seal around the top. Nearby septic systems, livestock, and repairs that open up the well give bacteria other ways in. In the mountains, older shallow or hand-dug wells tend to run into this problem more often.
North Carolina requires chlorination anytime someone removes the well seal, whether for a repair, a pump replacement, or a brand-new well. You'll also want to chlorinate after a water test or inspection finds coliform or E. coli. Flooding and long stretches without use are good reasons to shock the well.
