Well Abandonment

In Pennsylvania when a well is no longer being used, it should be properly abandoned by state & county specifications.


When a well is not being used and not maintained properly, it can cause the contamination of the underground aquifers that supply our water.


Quality Water & Well Service has the equipment and licensing to properly abandon wells and complete all the necessary paperwork.
