Any number of factors could cause your well to yield lower amounts of water than it should. Whatever is causing your low yield problems, Fogle Pump & Supply has the experience and the expertise to solve it. Call our team in Colville, WA, to make an appointment for a well inspection. We'll get your water back to flowing freely!
Hydro-fracturing is a relatively new process that is becoming a very popular option for those who struggle with a low yielding well. Hydro-fracturing is defined as, "pumping highly pressurized water down the well in an attempt to crack the rock formation inside and adjacent to the well." The fractures that occur in the well clear obstructions that may have previously been blocking veins of water from reaching it. One reason that Hydro-fracturing is so popular and successful is due to the fact that it is more controllable than other processes for freeing up hard-to-access water sources. Hydro-fracturing allows for "zone fracks" which enables Fogle Pump & Supply's technicians to pick the area of the bedrock with the most potential for fracturing.
Hydro-fracturing (aka "fracking") has been very successful for Colville, WA, well owners. This process can turn a dry or low-yielding well into a productive investment for the future. However, not all wells can be Hydro-fractured. Fracking is only an option if your well is primarily un-cased and in the bedrock. A minimum of 200 - 300 feet of rock is needed to work with for the best results. Due to the high pressure forced into the well, hydro-fracturing needs to take place at least 50 feet below the casing to avoid blowing out the surface seal, lifting the casing, or fracturing all the way to the surface.
Fogle Pump & Supply would be happy to take a look at your low-producing well and determine if the conditions are right for hydro-fracturing. Call out office in Colville, WA, to make an appointment.
The standard practice is to use a system capable of producing up to 3,000 PSI. In some cases, systems capable of 4,000 PSI have been used but these are specific instances. In most single packer situations the average "break" will be between 1200 and 1500 PSI. Only when zone isolating will you normally see above 2,000 PSI.
No, the fractures already exist in the bedrock. What is actually happening is the existing fractures are either really small or they're plugged with sediment. Hydro-fracturing cleans out these fractures then actually wears away the sides of the fractures making them larger. Therefore more water is allowed to flow into the well.
In actuality, they are both equally important. The Hydro-fracturing process consists of two stages, the "break" stage, and the development stage. The pressure is needed to "break" the well. Once the well has "broken" then it needs to be developed. This requires a large amount of flow, the more water you feed it the more water you'll get out of it. Most standard systems have at least a flow rate of 75-90 gpm.
Well rehabilitation is another option if your yield has declined over time. Some of the causes of this could be iron bacteria (rust build-up plugging screens or perforations in the casing), or mineral and scale buildup causing similar problems. A pH test and video inspection can tell us which actions need to be taken to correct the problem.
Fogle Pump & Supply can help you with your well rehabilitation and any other well related conditions. We have the expertise and the tools to help rehabilitate your well and help you build back up your yield.
A reservoir tank is basically a timed collection system. There is no gamble with this option. It is a sure thing if your well is making .5 gallons per minute; that is 30 gallons per hour, or 360 gallons in 12 hours. While you are sleeping, at work, or otherwise not using your water, the reservoir will fill up.
A reservoir system is generally a 2,000 - 3,000 gallon cement tank that is put into the ground. The idea is that once your tank is full, it will stay full with basic household use. However, you normally cannot irrigate unless you use a drip irrigation system or other conservative measures of irrigation. A reservoir is also added protection in case of fire. Fire trucks can access the water in your tank to fight forest fires in the area.
Deepening an existing well is sometimes a viable option for a low-producing well. However, many factors must be considered before Fogle Pump & Supply would recommend this. Some of the more important ones include:
These are just a few of the questions one must ask when considering deepening an existing well.
One way that we can help you determine the best option for you and your well is to research surrounding well logs for your area. That can tell us what kind of water is in the area. For example, if your well is 200 feet deep with 2 gallons per minute (gpm) and all of the surrounding wells are 60 - 80 feet with 10 - 15 gpm, we would probably recommend drilling another well at a new location on the property. On the other hand, if your well is 200 feet with 2 gpm and your neighbors are 300 - 400 feet with 10 gpm, we would probably recommend deepening the existing well.
The best place for us to start examining the best option for you is by looking at your well log. If you don't have one, we can locate it for you. In order to do this we need to have one of the following:

We had a 150 foot well dug and the pump attached for a generator. Fogel was very professional yet still gave that small community feel by their willing to get everything perfect. It seemed they were a little on the expensive side but believe me, you get what you pay for... they were worth every single penny!! There was a few problems with the terrian since our cabin is on a hill and getting their rig to the planned site.. They did so much to give us exactly what we wanted and we are so happy with them. We HIGHLY recommend them

I was seeking records for the well on a property we were considering. I'm so grateful I thought to call Fogle. Kathy and Dave were responsive, kind, and helpful - even though I know they were busy. I was impressed by how much time they took to look up records, explain the details, and educate me on wells. They were thorough and easy to understand. They seemed to appreciate all my questions and care as much as I did. I don't know enough but suspect their costs are fair just because Dave told me a couple of things he didn't think I needed to spend money on (so they're not taking advantage of ignorance) and one of the rough estimates they provided was pretty close to my dad's guess (retired from construction). It's empowering being treated so respectfully and learning so much. If we ever need such services, I would definitely call them

A top notch operation. Took awhile to get my well drilled as they have been crazy booked. Had it done in January. Despite how nerve racking this process can be, our drill crew was awesome. Austin communicated our progress and gave me an estimate along the way which prompted us to drill further with success at 360 and a great 10gpm well. It’s a gamble, but these guys have the most streamlined outfit in the region. Exceeded my expectations and cost came in fair, if a little high. They just completed our pump system as well and we could not be happier. If you can be patient, these guys will not let you down. Shout out to Greg and his team for the excellent work

The Fogle Family should be proud of their staff. *I recommend 100% for all your well/water needs.
Additionally 2 years ago had a full water treatment system installed in our new home near Colville National Forest. The system is flawless and had met out needs completely.
Lastly, when we had a well issue, their staff came immediately to our home, fixed the issue (switch in the holding tank in ground) and made improvements to existing infrastructure to alienate any future issues (all done within original estimate).
Save money, save time, save water... Save your sanity. Choose Fogle pump the first time

If you need a new water well or professional guidance and well service this is the company you want doing the work. I have been a fogle customer for 11 years now. They drilled our well, installed our soft water system and our reverse osmosis drinking water system. We have had lightning strike our well and Fogle was here in less than 24 hours. They are service oriented and have yet to have an unfavorable encounter with any employee. There colville store is well stocked with all your water well needs
- David L.
These are definitely professionals I recommend this company to anybody who's interested in purchasing a well or needs a pump installed or replace in their well
- Guy F.
We thought we had run out of water in a low supply well, but Fogle came to look check things out and simply replaced I think it was the pump controller and we were good to go again. Simple fix... thank you
- Charles C.
I have had work done and they have done great. I even had an issue with power to my barn and thought it was caused by their work. I really hate to eat crow but Dave sent a employee out to verify. I had tested all power but the power outlet in the barn had been tripped and I had tested it but I WAS WRONG, and for this I am truly sorry. I will recommend these guys and I stand corrected. There is a reason why they are the only guys around, they stand behind their work even when questioned
