Our well shocking methods including installing a chlorine mixture down the well to disinfect the well column. We then rinse the well casing with the water containing a chlorine residual to disinfect potential contamination that may be lingering on the well casing from pests and insects. Finally, we get a high residual of chlorine into all of the water fixtures in the home to kill the bacteria that has grown in the piping of the home. We recommend that the chlorinated water remain in the plumbing fixtures for 12 to 24 hours after service prior to the chlorinated water being flushed from the home.
Once well shocking is complete, we inspect the well cap on top of the well to ensure proper capping is installed. If not, we provide a sanitary sealed well cap to prevent grass clippings and pests from entering the well head, potentially re-contaminating the well.
While homeowners may choose to re-collect their bacteria samples after disinfection, we will be happy to provide sample collection in addition to the well shocking upon request.
