Flooding a well can result in pollutants contaminating your well water. It’s important to check your well’s drainage regularly to ensure that no flooding has taken place.

If you’re landscaping your property near the well, ensure your well is at least one foot above the ground to allow for proper drainage. If your well is in a dip on your property, water may collect around it, resulting in contamination.

You can speak to a water well contractor if you’re uncertain. They will tell you what you should avoid doing when landscaping your property.
