Sweet I’m sure the homeowner is happy to have water again at the lower cost of the other choices. Thank you for being an honest provider of services.
Thanks Gary! I try to be Honest and Fair with everyone. Since I've started this channel, sharing my knowledge with the viewers. I've heard of alot of big name companies that over charge 3 times more than I do. It's totally unjustified and I wish I could shed light on one big company in particular, but I'm not trying to deal with a lawsuit. It's not fair to the customers. So I just try and do my best and treat people with the same respect I receive. Thank you for the Nice Comment!
I glad to see that this young man takes pride in his work.
I just wanna say thanks for the video. Mine been stuck for over a year but would still work. It went out July 4th weekend. Family of 5 and our only water supply. One pump guy been here and run off with my money. The other one was his buddy so he wouldn’t come. What am I gonna do. Im gonna google it. I did and your video popped up. I went bought all the stuff to run another one down in the well. Meantime another pump/drill guy calls me and says they make a 3 inch pump for this problem that the 4 mite not go down with the other one. So my brother and I took a 4 inch driveshaft from a 79 Ford pickup and run down it to see if it would come back out with no problem and it did Praise the Lord JESUS. We put all our stuff together and run the new pump and stuff down in there and hooked it all up and got water and my pressure back. I wanna thank the Lord GOD in Heaven and you for your video. Thank you. We really appreciate you and your tricks to the trade to help someone. Thank You.
Im binging on all your videos, in my small town there is really only one guy doing what you do and he's retired to some degree and backed up for months. Im the new well tech.
I don't even have a well, but I do find your videos educational for what reason I have no idea. But I have been watching your videos for the past month, and let me say that you my brother have taught me a lot. Good Job!
This guy is the man. No fear. Learned a lot from his videos!!
Much Respect! I'm still here teaching the world the best I can!
My neighbors pump was stuck. We used a simple tripod 7ft high with 2 inch steel pipe and a come along to pull it. It took 10 minutes to set up and would have easily pulled until the pump was free or something broke. In our case, the pump came free.
I'm glad you were able to come up with another option for these folks. Is 2 gals/min enough water for everyday use? What would be the minimum amount that would work? I'm really thinking about moving a tiny house on my property and I'll want to put in a well. I enjoy your videos very much I am always interested in learning something new.
You do do a clean job .
Nice work. I would recommend a electrical disconnect for the pump power in the pump house though.
I built a smaller shed around one of my wells and made a removable hatch above the well to allow attachment by a hoist. If that shed is abandoned I would pour a concrete floor and have a great storage shed with power. Another great job!
For us, novices, a little diagram of what you mean by collapse, of a well and getting “stuck”would be helpful.
Nice looking work and it;s great that you gave them 3 options to choose from. I see this in the South Tulsa area from time to time. It usually occurs on yard irrigation wells 70' - 100' deep with 40' - 50' static level in sand stone or shale where the well is pumped nearly to cavitation until the hot casing collapses in against the pump.
In a 4" or 5" well all you can do is pull until the pipe and wire separate from the pump and drop another one just above the old one. I've found that it's not a satisfactory solution in my area, don't ask me how I know smh. A new well will generally be the best option for an irrigation application requiring 18 - 25 gpm with just 30' or 40' of water in the well.
Thumbs up for quality honest work.
Yea I'd recommend a 3" grundfos sq for 4" wells. Those motors do get hot! I had 1 collapse at 300ft with 400ft of 4" sleeve. I was the 4th company they called and the only to fix it.
Great videos and great information and right to the point keep up the great work man!
Love your vids buddy!
I have the same issue. 400'- 0" well collapsed at 120' - 0". Previous owner installed a new pump at 110' - 0" and worked well until we had a drought!!! Drilling a new well scheduled this month.
Excellent work
Great info. Thanks!
Nice neat job thanks
I have seen well houst where the roof can be removed or there is a door on roof to give access to pump.
Thanks!
had this same problem, only the people before had a 4 inch pump pushed into a steel 4 inch well, and lightning welded the pump to the casing, no way get out, I pulled with tractor and bucket, everything came up, wires, hose, and rope tide to pump all pop off and came up, so I stuck another pipe with foot valve down in well and put in an above ground pump, zero issues and cost me less than $300 to fix. so more than one way to fix issue.
Hey mate,
great channel, I've learnt plenty on it.
I know its an old video but its the closest thing I can find to my issue. I have a submerisble stuck in a bore, the pipe blew out and using a camera I can see the pump has fallen beyond the PVC casing and is caught on the bottom of the PVC.
I have tried many things to retrieve the pump but now I am considering throwing a new pump down with the pipe shortened to lift it above the other, now my worry is the existing cables (steel and elec).
Did you tape the old cables to the new pipe to keep them at the top of the bore???? Is that sufficient to keep them from stopping retrieval of the new bore later on???
any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and keep them coming
Awesome videos, keep it up
Very nice looking job
Thank you!
Too bad the homeowner didn't incorporate the infrastructure for a chain hoist directly above the well head when he built the pump house. That certainly would have come in handy with this issue....
My pumphouse has removable roof and one wall.
I can lift it off with my Mini-Ex or a crane.
Cut.. hole roof add a sky light..or remove shingles plywood now access for crane maybe a rafter too cheapest fix..
i fixed one like that but i got the pump out after 1/4 inch steel cable hooked to a winch .i was lucky.
Beautiful old farm house
I was thinking the same thing That would be a dream to own such a beautiful place.
Been there before. I had one where the home owner hooked a back hoe to it before we got there and broke the pipe, wire and rope off down in the well.
Can you remove a few shingles make a hole in the roof and use the crane
Could you stick a garden hose down in the well and wash away the collapsed area?
Old video, but I wonder what a foldable engine hoist would've done on this job vs the pump jack?
I have a question my Well is only approximately 70 feet substantial difference and end date. What would you recommend on that? Should we try the same procedures well, another pump work and not shallow of a well.
Leaving a question! Could a winch set above on the shed’s top plate and send a power washer line down to loosen the debris around the old pump.
Making a portable gantry crane and power washer drain jetter {water brought in on trailer} yours or subcontract a power-washer to help.
Grumpy Old Guy two cents
Think of it as Rail Road stone/gravel. If it was silt, yes it can be washed out. The rock formation was just that broke & jagged. Large rocks fell in. Thanks for the comment though! I like it when viewers interact and have outside the box ideas!
What is the price range for something like this? Great education here.
$1800
Good day,I drilled a 85m borehole and only 60m PVC casing were installed and 25m collapsed onto the well.... I'd like you to know if it's safe to remove them and insert other PVC that will go down to the well(aquifers)... how do I remove them???
Or I should just leave it as it is
I'm not sure exactly what you mean in your description, but it sounds to me like you'll require a well drilling company to come out and blow the well clean before any other work can be done.
You dropped a new pump in there with the existing pump stuck in the collapse?? Sorry I'm in the exact situation rn and I'm curious. My well casing necks down and wouldn't have the room to do that.
If yours is 6" casing it'll work
Are water wells not sleeved with pvc pipe all the way to the bottom?
No the pvc/steel casing only goes to bedrock
Ahahaha if you over the pond from CA/USA
Get an a-frame hoist truck back ,it into the open door, with the pulley and cable over the well. winch it up. using truck winch. Or, get larger stronger tripod with pulley over well, run cable from a front truck winch over the pulley, hook on to pipe and horse it out. But, it could all cillapse into well.
What happened to the old pipe that was going down to the old pump
Abandoned in place. Stuck solid, so no way to pull it out. New pump, pipe and wire fit next to existing abandoned pipe.
Had my well collapse. Hand dug 40 ft then drilled another 20. Dug it out and still wasnt able to pull the pump out of the lower casing. Any ideas?
There's no fixing it. A collapse normally is a total lose.
A true fix would cost Thousands. Youd need a rig or diesel air compressor, and 1" galvanized pipe, send it down & keep blowing high pressure/volume air down the hole & lift the sediment out, it'll take hours of blowing to get it clear. But if any large rocks fell in, they likely wouldn't come out. So best money is spent on a new hole & construction should be done differently now that you know there's a possibility of collapse
@H2o Mechanic tried pulling it out with a 12000 lb winch and it didn't budge. The pump is actually only about 3 or four foot below the top of the casing. Which is 40 ft down inside the 3'x40' hole. We tried blowing it out with a diesel air compressor and also tried pushing the pump down. It should have another 16ft below the pump. It wouldn't budge either way. Is there a way I can send pictures to show what I'm dealing with?
@dunmuloch Hwdracing@gmail.com is my email, send pics there
120? I would have stuck it at 200. stil have another 100 foot of space, thats a lot!! Actually, I would have stuck it as far as it would go. Should be fine till a new well needs to be drilled.
Hey bud I got to whalehead that the bolts are rusted one has already cracked and I can't get the well cap off help me out
Don't remove the bolts!. Use a medium flat head around the rim to pry it up . Tap in the flat head using a hammer around the edge . Between the seal & casing. Maybe wd40 too. It's just a squeezed rubber seal stuck to the casing. Its hard sometimes. Use the claw of a hammer too to twist it & pry up & pull up on the lip
Yes sir I watched lots of your videos I did not and the problem is that when I twisted the first when it cracked immediately so I'm hesitant to loosen anymore for fear that it'll crack and fall
Your correct about the bottom half falling. & it all could fall if you broke 2 or more. You've gotta pry on it. Or wrap a rope around the center pipe & tie it to the center of a shovel handle and have 2 ppl lift equally. Tapping the seal around the edge might help it to break free too
Thank you so much I think that may just do it
@@h2omechanic or try claw 🔨
2 gph lol
Looking @ the water from that hydrant, seems much more than 2GPM. Should have put a Homer bucket under spout and clocked it.
I'd assume that's 2 gpm that the well can supply to the pump, not necessarily 2 gpm coming out the hydrant.
@@jake-mv5oi Thanks for the thoughts! Wouldn't there be an issue if the pump is capable of pumping more water than the well can provide? Like starve the pump?
@@curtchase3730 ya, I'd guess that it'd cavitate & burn it up if the level dropped below the pumps suction for a prolonged period. I figure that's why they have those pressure switches that cut the pump off if pressure drops too low.
don't build a fancy well house.
Please There are a few words you should refrain from using. One "done and done" , that just shows stupidity and the ability to not realize what a cliche is. The next word is "algorithm" There are so many people that have no idea what it even means but they just say it because others say it and they can not do any better with their lives and knowledge. The last one is "smash that like buttom" Just because other idiots say it does not mean that you have to be an idiot also. I do enjoy your content but I will not ever like a video if someone says ANY of those three phrases.
