Job completed, FINALLY!
First we received a call after hours for no water last week.
Upon arriving we found a frozen waterline and malfunctioning check valve. Replaced check valve and frozen line got system up and running. But the existing jet pump had an internal leak but worked for the night until I could get new pump.
Returned & changed pump, but air was getting into system and causing issues. After troubleshooting we determined that there was an issue in the well that was buried under ground.
Monday we returned with mini excavator in tow. We exposed well and while pulling water lines from well we found the hole (picture) in the suction line. We brought well above ground and up to code, installed new submersible pump with new lines from pump the pressure tank.
This hole was on a jet pump system that kept loosing it’s prime and caused the pump to burn up. It was it was a 3/4 inch galvanized line down in the well from the 1970’s.
Another exploratory job completed!
