Protect Your Water Source from the Ground Up

The well casing is one of the most critical components of your water system — it protects your drinking water from contamination and keeps the well structurally sound. Over time, casings can corrode, crack, or shift due to age, weather, earthquakes, poor installation, or even tree roots. If the casing is compromised, your water supply can become unsafe — and your pump system more vulnerable to damage.

At Advanced Water Pump Services, we offer a full range of well casing repairs to restore integrity, prevent contamination, and extend the life of your well.

Common Well Casing Services We Provide

🔧 Metal Well Casing Repairs — Fixing Legacy Holes and Cuts

Many older wells were installed with jet pump systems, which often required cutting a sidewall hole in the metal casing to accommodate the pump’s intake. When these wells are later converted to modern submersible pump systems, that hole is sometimes left open or only temporarily patched.

These unsealed or poorly repaired openings create a direct entry point for rodents, insects, bacteria, and surface contaminants to enter your well — risking water quality and system integrity.

At Advanced Water Pump Services, we specialize in professionally repairing these legacy casing holes. Our repair process includes:

• Thorough inspection to assess the size and condition of the opening
• Removal of any temporary patches or damaged material
• Expert welding or metal patch installation to fully seal the casing
• Ensuring a durable, watertight repair that restores structural strength

Properly sealing these old cutouts is critical to preventing contamination and protecting your water supply long term. Don’t leave your well vulnerable with a patch that’s just holding on — let us make it right and code-compliant.

🧰 PVC Casing Repairs

PVC wells are common in certain soil conditions — and while they don’t rust, they can crack, shear, or become misaligned. We offer:

• Sectional replacements
• Sealing of cracks or breaks
• Reseating and reconnection if the casing has shifted or separated

We ensure watertight seals and structurally sound repairs that meet California well code standards.

Well Casing Extensions & Upgrades

⬆️ Raise Your Well Above Grade

If your well casing is buried or sits at ground level, it’s more vulnerable to flooding, debris, and contamination. We can extend your casing above grade to meet county regulations and significantly improve water safety. This simple upgrade can protect your system from rain runoff, animal waste, and other contaminants entering from the surface.

💧 Sanitary Seal Installation

Upgrading your well’s seal is one of the most important ways to prevent surface contamination. We install professional-grade, water-tight sanitary seals that block pollutants and keep your water system safe — especially after storm events or wildfire damage.

Signs Your Well Casing Might Need Repair

• Rust or corrosion visible at the surface
• Sudden changes in water clarity or taste
• Frequent positive bacteria test results
• Low water pressure or recurring air in the lines
• You can hear water leaking inside the well
• Well head is damaged, loose, or at/below grade

Why It Matters

A compromised well casing is like having a hole in your drinking straw — but worse, because it can introduce bacteria, pesticides, nitrates, or wildfire debris directly into your water supply. It also increases the risk of pump damage or shortened equipment life.

We don’t just patch and walk — we assess the full system and offer long-term solutionsthat protect your water and your investment.
