Abandonment, casing repair, and wellhead work, handled right by a shop that lives on these wells. Over 40 years in the trade.
Beyond the pump, a well itself sometimes needs work: an old well that has to be plugged properly, a casing that has corroded or clogged with iron over the years, or a wellhead that needs sealing or raising. These are not everyday jobs, and most Central Florida homeowners will only face one once or twice in the life of a property. When you do, you want the shop that has spent four decades on these wells, not a generalist learning on yours.
We look at what your well actually needs and tell you honestly whether it is a job at all. When it is, we handle it ourselves and correctly, including proper FDEP-compliant abandonment when an old well has to be retired. This specialized well work, including abandonment, casing and sleeving, wellhead service, and well chlorination, is performed in-house under the Pump Repair license, and we quote the whole thing after an on-site assessment.
Most well work is about the pump. Now and then it is about the well itself. These are the three that come up, and honestly, they are rare, so we tell you plainly when your well needs one and when it does not.
When an old well is no longer in use, it cannot just be left open or capped and forgotten. An abandoned well is a direct path for surface contamination to reach the aquifer, which is why Florida requires old wells to be properly plugged. We handle FDEP-compliant abandonment, plugging the well the right way so it is sealed for good and you are not left with a liability on your property.
The casing is the pipe that lines the well and keeps the walls from collapsing. Over the years, a steel casing can corrode, and iron buildup can narrow it, or damage can compromise it. An inner casing, or liner, is set inside the existing one to restore a sound, clean bore. Sleeving is the same idea taken deeper, using packers and bentonite to seal and reinforce the well where it needs it. Both bring a failing casing back to service without drilling a new well.
The wellhead is where your well meets the surface, and it is your first line of defense against contamination. We service the cap and sanitary seal that keep surface water, insects, and debris out of the well, and on flood-prone properties we can raise the wellhead above grade so a heavy rain or a storm surge does not send dirty water down into your drinking water.
If your water level drops too far when the pump runs, the well is drawing down faster than it should, which can pull in air and sediment and stress the pump. Draw-down correction addresses why the level is falling and how the system draws, so the pump is not fighting a well that cannot keep up with it. It is a diagnosis-first job, and we start by finding the real cause.
Wellhead serviceCall (407) 809-8805 and we respond immediately. Because these jobs are uncommon and easy to oversell, the first thing we do is look at whether your well actually needs the work, or whether the real problem is somewhere simpler.
We assess the casing, the wellhead, and how the well draws, so a recommendation is based on the condition of your well, not a guess.
You get the full price before any work starts, with no add-ons. For abandonment, that includes doing it to FDEP standard so it is done once and done right.
Whether it is a liner, a wellhead seal, or a proper plugging, we do the job to standard and leave you with a well, or a retired well, that will not come back to haunt you.
| Service | What it is | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Well abandonment | FDEP-compliant plugging of an old well | Legally required; not a DIY job |
| Inner casing/liner | New casing set inside a damaged bore | For corrosion or iron buildup over the years |
| Well sleeving | Deeper reinforcement with packers/bentonite | Same family as casing, taken deeper |
| Wellhead cap & seal | Sanitary seal to keep contamination out | Your first line of defense |
| Wellhead extension | Raising the wellhead above grade | For flood-prone properties |
| Draw-down correction | Addressing a water level that drops too far | Diagnosis-first |
| Well chlorination | Well disinfection/shock chlorination | Handled in-house under the Pump Repair license |
| Well screening | Not offered | We will refer you to a specialist |
The specialized well work above, including abandonment, casing and sleeving, wellhead service, and well chlorination, is performed in-house under the Pump Repair license. The one job we do not take on is well screening; when that is what a well genuinely needs, we will point you to a specialist rather than take on a job that is not ours to do well.
There is no flat price for well services, because a wellhead seal, a casing liner, and a proper abandonment are entirely different jobs. We assess the well, tell you honestly whether the work is needed at all, and then give you one all-in price for what it actually requires, with no add-ons. Because these are specialized jobs that are easy to oversell, our first answer is often that you do not need them, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a well repair you can do without.

Leave us a Google reviewIt is the proper plugging of a well that is no longer in use. You need it when you have an old, unused well on the property, because Florida treats an open or failing old well as a contamination risk to the aquifer. If you are not sure whether an old well needs it, we will tell you.
No. Proper abandonment has to meet Florida Department of Environmental Protection standards, and doing it wrong leaves both a contamination path and a liability on your property. It is a job for someone who does it to code, which is how we handle it.
Age, corrosion, and iron buildup over the years. A steel casing can rust and narrow, and damage can compromise the bore. Setting a liner inside the existing casing, or sleeving deeper with packers and bentonite, restores the well without drilling a new one.
They are the same idea at different depths. A liner or inner casing restores the upper bore; sleeving takes the reinforcement deeper and uses packers and bentonite to seal it. Which one you need depends on where and how far down the problem is.
Servicing the cap and the sanitary seal that keep surface water, bugs, and debris out of the well, and, on flood-prone properties, raising the wellhead above grade so a flood does not send contaminated water down into your supply.
Yes. We perform well chlorination and shock disinfection ourselves, under the Pump Repair license, when a well needs to be disinfected after service or to clear bacteria. That is separate from ongoing odor and water-quality treatment, which we handle with aeration-based systems rather than continuous chlorine injection. See our water treatment page for those systems.
No, that is not work we do. When a well genuinely needs screening, we will refer you to a specialist rather than take on a job that is not ours to do well.
It addresses a well whose water level drops too far when the pump runs, which can pull in air and sediment and stress the pump. It is a diagnosis-first job, so we start by finding why the level is falling before recommending a fix.
Not very. Most homeowners never need abandonment, casing work, or wellhead extension, and we would rather be straight about that than talk you into work you do not need. When your well does need one of these, though, it matters that it is done right.
It depends entirely on the job. We assess the well and give you one all-in price for what it actually needs, with no add-ons, after we have seen it. Often the honest answer is that you do not need the work at all.
Yes, and that is where we start. Because these jobs are easy to oversell, we look first at whether the work is warranted, and we will tell you plainly if a simpler fix, or no work at all, is the right call.
