Having a well comes with some maintenance tasks to ensure it is always working properly. One of the most important duties associated with such ownership is water well repair, which should never be avoided or put off. Ignoring the need for repairs can have dangerous consequences. In this blog, we discuss three reasons why you shouldn’t delay having your water well fixed.
The health of the surrounding environment can be affected by how effectively you care for your well. Leaks or other damage from a faulty well can pollute soil, vegetation, and bodies of water in the area, making them unsafe and potentially hazardous. This affects the ability to grow things in the area. If your well causes damage, you may be susceptible to fines or lawsuits costing a considerable amount of money. Be a good neighbor and avoid putting off your well water repair.
When a water well isn’t functioning properly, it’ll likely impact the quality of the water that comes from it. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, water with 0 to 60 mg/L as calcium carbonate is considered to be soft, water with 61 to 120 mg/L as calcium carbonate is moderately hard, water with 121 to 180 mg/L as calcium carbonate is hard, and water with 180 mg/L as calcium carbonate is very hard. Why is hard water an issue? The higher the calcium carbonate content in the water, the more it can damage pipes and other appliances. This type of water can also cause skin irritations and make it harder to shower, wash dishes, and more.
Don’t risk your family’s health by failing to do timely maintenance and repairs. Water is necessary for survival, so contaminants that infiltrate the well can get into the body during drinking and bathing. That affects you and any animals you have. Your household may experience digestive issues, respiratory problems, skin rashes, and other challenges.
Putting off water well repair is never advisable, as it can lead to damage in the surrounding area, degraded water quality, and potential health risks. Always stay on top of your well maintenance for a clean and safe water supply. Contact our local repair service professionals at JB Water Well for help keeping your water safe.
