Well Rehabilitation

Guaranteed Solutions for Cleaning Your Well


Water quality plays the largest role in determining the best method to rehabilitate your well. Ortman Drilling & Water Services takes a scientific approach to each well by analyzing water chemistry in conjunction with a Biological Activity Reaction Test (BARTs). With this information, we are able to custom design a chemical rehabilitation that will best suit your specific needs. The rehabilitation methods available are single and double-disc surging, jetwash with airlift, AirBurst, and chemical.


In certain circumstances, a tank cleaning may be the only method available for your situation. These cleanings are also available for your convenience.

Ortman Drilling can provide useful information concerning a well and its condition through the use of a color down-hole video. Through these videos, our technicians can focus cleaning energy at specific locations, such as fractures in bedrock, and we can identify any foreign objects or integrity issues with the construction of the well. Do you know what condition your well currently is in? After we applied a custom cleaning schedule to this well in the video below on the left, we brought it back to the condition in the video below to the right. Contact us today to speak to a project manager about our down-hole video capabilities.

After we applied a custom cleaning schedule to the Pre Cleaning video, we brought it back to the condition on the Post Cleaning video. Contact us today to speak to a project manager about our down-hole video capabilities.

If your pumping equipment looks like this (pictures below)

...then what condition is your well in?

To better develop a customized cleaning schedule for your well, Ortman Drilling highly recommends a general water chemistry and Biological Activity Reactivity Tests (BARTs) be  conducted. Our staff hydrogeologist can perform the BARTs and provide a report outlining the quality of your well’s water. This information is extremely useful in developing a comprehensive cleaning schedule to best approach rehabilitating your well.
