Incredible what we found in this well! We pulled this we’ll pump up that was still working! Age?
What happens here
Carefully begin to pull the well piping out of the well. This often requires a heavy-duty lifting mechanism due to the depth and weight of the pipes and the attached pump. As the pipe emerges, observe the extent of corrosion and any sediment or debris clinging to the pipe. The video shows a long, heavily rusted pipe section being slowly hoisted from the well, revealing extensive, brown, sludgy buildup.
Goal: Remove the initial sections of well piping and assess their condition.
Tools and materials
- Heavy-duty lifting mechanism — To safely hoist the heavy well piping and pump assembly
- Pipe wrenches — To loosen and separate sections of the well pipe
- Work gloves — Protecting hands from sharp edges, rust, and grime
