Yield Testing


Well yield increases, if successful, are generally modest but may constitute a significant increase if the original well yield was very low. Occasionally large increases in well recovery are realized.

A typical well yield after hydro-fracturing is 1/2 to 5 gallons per minute. Water well contractors report a high success rate, however, in some instances due to geologic conditions hydro-fracturing will not increase well yield. If initial pressure continues to build and reaches the operator's maximum equipment capacity, the formation will not accept water and the procedure may not be successful.


Hydro-Fracturing is 95% Effective.

     Only state licensed water well contractors are authorized to hydro-fracture wells. If you are thinking about having your well hydro-fractured, it is generally advisable to first consult with your water well contractor of choice or perhaps, several water well contractors. These professionals will help you evaluate your water supply needs and the probability of success in your geographic area to help you determine if hydro-fracturing is a viable choice for your well.
