What Does Well Decommissioning Mean?

Here’s a fact: In Washington State, it is illegal to have an abandoned well on your property that has not been decommissioned. You cannot simply stop using an emptied well and leave it. The well needs professionals to properly decommission it. You will first need to obtain a permit to decommission the well through the health department. Then call us and we can inspect the well and then handle fully sealing the well to officially decommission it.

Why Do Wells Need Decommissioning?

Abandoned and unattended well pose several dangers. They are a physical safety hazard to people and animals, which will also create a major liability for a property owner. They can provide a direct channel for contaminants to enter into aquifers that other wells use, bypassing much of the natural filtration power of the soil. They can also be sources of flooding.
