Well cleaning

AirLift cleaning for sand, sediment and deposits in existing wells.

Maintenance and cleaning of existing wells

Over time, fine sand, sediment and other deposits can accumulate in some wells. This is especially common in sandy formations and in wells that have not been used for a long time or are used infrequently.

AirLift cleaning is intended to remove accumulated material and improve conditions for normal and efficient operation of the well and pump.

When does AirLift make sense?

Water comes out with sand
There is sediment and silt
The water becomes cloudy
The well has not been used for a long time

Cleaning can improve pump operating conditions when the problem is related to deposits inside the well.

What AirLift cannot do

AirLift does not increase the natural yield of the aquifer. If the well has limited water because of the geological conditions themselves, cleaning cannot create additional inflow.

That is why we do not promise “more water” without knowing the cause of the problem. We first discuss the symptoms and condition of the specific well.

Frequently asked questions about AirLift

Does AirLift measure exact yield?

No. The way water is discharged during cleaning can give an initial impression of inflow, but it is not an exact measurement. Exact yield is established with a suitable pump and pumping test.

Will the water become clearer?

When cloudiness is caused by sand, sediment and deposits in the well, cleaning can significantly improve its condition. The result depends on construction, geology and the cause of the problem.

Is there a fixed price for AirLift?

We do not publish a universal price for cleaning an existing well. The service is assessed separately according to the specific well, location, access and required work. The price from €60/m shown on the site applies only to new well construction.
