AirBurst helps unplug your well and the rock formation around it, meaning you will get higher flow rates of water for longer, while using less electricity to pump. If your pressure tank has been struggling to stay full with your family's demand, this should help. However, if there is a broader challenge with groundwater depletion in your region, AirBurst will only be able to do so much. 

AirBurst operators undergo extensive training to first do a proper survey of the well's condition, then fine-tune the treatment settings. Even with extensive analysis of well data and video logs, AirBurst can expose previously undetected structural problems that are best to address while your contractor is onsite so small problems today don't become a massive headache tomorrow.

When we dig a well and pump water, we are inherently going to disturb the natural, slow condition of the aquifer and accelerate change. This can often mean pulling in sand and rocks, creating mineral scale, and creating conditions that allow bacteria to grow. If we don't perform responsible interventions (AKA "rehabs") every 5-10 years, these problems will grow out of control and the only answer will be to drill a new well. We also need to periodically clean the well to ensure high quality drinking water for our homes.

AirBurst is among the most environmentally-friendly rehab techniques in use today. As it only releases air, there are no residues or toxic byproducts that form unlike methods like explosives, acids, and heavy doses of disinfectant chemicals. In fact, AirBurst treatments can help address the root cause of major groundwater quality issues that threaten your family such as biological fouling and metal content in your water.

Some regulatory agencies may require permits. Your well contractor / licensed AirBurst operator will know the local requirements and will work to meet them. The process involves no rehabilitation chemicals or byproducts, making it safe for water safety compliance.

Most small residential wells should be completed in a half day or less, meaning your water supply will be back up and running in no time.

Yes, the AirBurst process can often dislodge and remove large iron and manganese deposits to keep them out of your drinking water. Our operators will ensure your well is pumping clear, clean water before finishing the service. AirBurst can also address sources of sanding in open-rock wells. 

AirBurst has been in commercial use of over thirty years and has been used to safely treat thousands of wells on four continents. It is the trusted rehabilitation technology for some of the largest utilities and city drinking water wells in the United States.
