Have you heard of a process called Maine hydrofracking? This term is mostly used when talking about installing wells. Maine hydrofracking is the process that could be used when trying to increase water flow to a well. This is usually done on low yielding wells to help increase it’s production. This process can be done at any time, either during initial installation of the well or at any time on an existing well. This might sound like a fix for all low yielding wells but it only works when the water is being supplied from water moving through fractures in the bedrock. If you’re interested in learning whether or not Maine hydrofracking might be the right answer for your well, you should get in touch with the experts at A-Z Water Systems.

Maine hydrofracking is done by injecting high pressure water through a drilled well down into the rock formations around it. This is done in an attempt to widen fractures in the bedrock and open them up further to increase the network of water supplying the well. This technique was originally invented to increase the flow of oil and gas, but has now been adopted by the well industry. Maine hydrofracking is not something to be taken lightly and should be done only by professionals that is licensed or registered as a water well contractor.
