FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the Alaskan climate affect well drilling?

The Alaskan climate presents unique challenges for well drilling:
Permafrost: Drilling through permafrost requires specialized techniques and equipment to prevent well casing damage and ensure long-term stability.
Seasonal Conditions: Winter weather can significantly impact drilling operations due to snow, ice, and extreme cold temperatures. Hefty Drilling has the experience and equipment to navigate these challenges effectively.
Remote Locations: Many Alaskan properties are situated in remote areas, requiring careful logistical planning and specialized equipment for drilling and well maintenance.

What are the signs that I might need well repairs or maintenance?

Several signs may indicate that your well needs attention:
Decreased water flow: A significant drop in water pressure or flow rate is a common indicator of potential well issues.
  Discolored or cloudy water: Changes in water color or clarity may signal problems with the well casing or contamination.
Unusual noises: Gurgling or other unusual noises coming from the well or plumbing system could indicate a problem.
Musty or unpleasant odor: Changes in the taste or odor of your water may be due to bacterial contamination or other issues.  

What is involved in a well video inspection?

A well video inspection involves using a specialized camera to examine the interior of your well casing. This allows Hefty Drilling to:  
Identify potential problems: Such as cracks, corrosion, or obstructions that may be affecting water quality or flow.
Assess well condition: Determine the overall condition of your well and identify areas that may require repair or maintenance.
Provide valuable information: The video inspection provides valuable information about the condition of your well, helping you make informed decisions about necessary repairs or upgrades.
