Well Abandonment FAQ's

Who Is Responsible For Abandoning A Well?

The regulations may depend on which state you live in but in North Carolina, it is the responsibility of the owner of the well to safely and properly abandon the well.  This means that the proper regulations must be met in order to abandon the well in a safe manner to make sure that nobody in the future will be harmed because of the well system. 

If the well is being abandoned because of poor construction or because it was installed improperly then it is possible for the contractors to be responsible for abandoning the well in a safe and legal manner.  Our team can help you properly and safely abandon your well in order to abide by NC law.

What is Temporary Well Abandonment?

A temporary abandoned well is a well that will be inactive for a short period of time compared to being closed indefinitely.  This can be because the landowner isn't planning on using the well for a few months, or because they need to perform long-term maintenance on the well or the surrounding area.  To remain listed as a temporary well there must be a plan for the well to reopen in the future. 

If you are planning on temporarily abandoning your well you must follow the proper regulations.  This involves notifying the state of the temporary abandonment as well as placing a watertight cap on the well.  Even if the well isn't being used it still must be kept clean and free of any contamination throughout the entirety of the abandonment period.

When Should You Abandon A Water Well?

A well that hasn't been used for an extended period of time it can be a good idea to plan on abandoning the well.  If you are planning on utilizing the water well in the future, we recommend that you perform a temporary abandonment in order to comply with state legislation. 

You must notify your state that you are planning on abandoning the well and you must have the well properly sealed.  This involves having a cap placed on the well that isn't easily moved.  It also required that the well is kept clean and contaminate-free even though the well is not in use.  If it isn't kept up to par you may not be able to reopen the well in the future.

I cannot say enough for Daniel and his company. My elderly in-laws were having issues with their well. I was out of town and couldn’t go check it out myself. Daniel went over right away and diagnosed the problem down to issue. I had him replace the pump and tank. There were other issues with the well and filters since a lot of iron was in the well. Daniel came out two more times and we got everything working correctly. He even showed me what to do if iron clogged our system again. Awesome team and very professional. Can’t go wrong hiring his company.

I cannot say enough good things about A&T Well and Pump! Over the weekend, our well pump died, and we were in a real bind. A&T Well and Pump came to the rescue with incredible speed and reliability. Their team arrived promptly and got straight to work, showcasing their expertise and dedication.The quality of their work was outstanding. They didn’t just fix the problem; they ensured everything was running perfectly before they left. They had everything the could possibly need on the truck, and were able to work their magic that same day! The customer service and care we received were mind blowing. From the initial call with Tyler to the final handshake, every interaction was professional and friendly.A&T Well and Pump truly went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using their services again when needed.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company. From when I called to set up an appointment to when my service was done, everything was so quick and above standards. Both Reggie & Stewart were amazing. They both took the time to explain what was wrong and gave me options on what I needed to do to fix the problem. On top of there professional service, they were both so warm and welcoming of my 2 year old being interested in what they were doing. I cannot recommend this company (and Reggie & Stewart) enough. Thank you!

It was a Saturday morning when I called and tea and I could not have been more impressed.After two other supposed well companies came out and could not resolve the problem. Tyler came out with the screw compared to replace the well pump but instead his technician reviewed all the controls on the well pump replaced the controller and Harris back in business in 30 minutes and saving us thousands of dollars.I do know that I’ll need to remove the well and have an updated and I’ll definitely call auntie when that time comes!MD

Closed on a fixer-upper, 12 hours later we had no water. Called Tyler at 830PM and he was there the next morning. He and his crew had us back up and running in a matter of hours. We are grateful to him for his prompt service and professionalism. We highly recommend him and his team for any similar job!

Travis J.

I'm not one to leave reviews but it needs to be known that these guys are fantastic to work with. Called them Saturday morning and A&T was at my house within two hours! Tyler was able to diagnosis the issue and had a new well pump along with two expansion tanks installed by Monday morning. Prompt, efficient and reasonably priced. Customer service exceeded all expectations! High praise to this team.

King_Eric

Contacted A&T, they where very kind, and professional, they answered all my questions, no attitude, no fuss, very honest, and patient, and very, very knowledgeable. Definitely a Go-To Company. I am very pleased.

Vincent W.

Tyler came out to take a look at our well pump after it froze over night. Nothing could be done because it has to be totally replaced and the warehouse is closed until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. We have had the worst luck with our house since we bought it in September. Out of the kindness of his heart he waved the fee for coming out, gave us heaters to keep the kids warm since our hvac is also not working and even gifted us some money to take the kids out for Christmas. He wished me a merry Christmas and went home to see his family after a 13 hour shift. Then, he called about 10 minutes later to ask us if he needed to come back and give us some drop cords for the heaters. This man is a God send. God bless you Tyler. Merry Christmas.

CPS S.

Saw that the well head in the riser was leaking. Called A&T before 8am and someone answered immediately. They had a repair crew out here by 10:30am and fixed the issue quickly. Very knowledgeable crew who were very helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better response time and better service. Great job!

I cannot say enough about how great the crew was that did our work. They were knowledgeable and friendly while keeping a very professional manner. They answered all of our questions.

LEVR Studios L.

Outstanding service. A&T was fast to respond and was on-site, on time. The crew was fully prepared to deal with the issue and had the pump replaced quickly. They were respectful, kept the site clean and even jumped in to do some emergency repair work. Their prices were more than fair given the situation. Will certainly look to A&T in the future for installation, repair and professional services.

Mr J.

Had a pressure diaphragm rust through with a hole on the bottom filling part of my crawlspace up with 6.5 inches of water. Called on A & T Well and Pump to come and replace it, took them about 30 minutes and waited around to make sure the pressure was good in the house and everything was back to normal. Showed me a few things about the system so that I wouldnt be completely n00b about it and the system looks great and well, no pun intended, done!Went from a 36 gallon to a 44 gallon and the pressure in the house is very noticeable, so basically got an upgrade that i needed but didnt even realize that i wanted.If i have other issues of this nature, water heater, pump, hopefully not the pressurizer :o), I will definitely be calling them first.Called in the AM and they were able to make it out to my house the same day putting an end to our water outage.

Ron P.

My house had no water and this was the only business that answered my call after hours. The staff are knowledgeable and have lots of experience dealing with well and pump issues. Very easy to work with, and fair pricing. Will definitely call A & T again for future well or pump issues.

Bridget Rimpf W.

Great company, very responsive to requests, they work fast!

Raleigh Hidden H.

Great experience! Tyler was great, and he made the process easy and quick!

James S.

It's never good to wake up to a house without water, especially on New Years Day. The discharge line at our remote well site in the development had frozen and sheared off at the pressure tank. I called A&T at 8:00 am and Ted and crew were on site by 10:00 am. Replaced the pipe and tee fittings with solid brass in lieu of PVC and we were back in business by noon. Great work! Made sure everything was well-insulated by afternoon, especially with this prolonged cold snap. Note: I would have had to wait till the next day for anyone else to respond. A big thank you to Tyler and Company for the quick response and excellent service.

William C.

I am so thankful for Tyler and his team, they are excellent! They specialize in well pumps and repair, quick, professional and will explain the process and answer any questions you may have. I will never use anyone but them for this day forward. A+Look no farther, they are the best!

John B.

Best customer service ever. Looking forward to doing business with them again.

Gregory B.

I just wanted to extend my gratitude to Tyler for treating our water problem with the same level of urgency that we were feeling at home. They did everything they could to help us as fast as possible, and did a great job!

Ryan H.

Tyler was great to work with! My family's farm well needed an emergency pump repair to prevent loss of water to Spring crops and livestock. We contacted A&T after 5pm and Tyler promptly responded and arrived shortly after the call to repair the pump system. The team thoroughly cleaned the work space and completed the job same day! I highly recommend A&T Well and Pump of Raleigh for water well issues.
