The well was built by our ancestors - it was used to extract clean water from the depths of the earth's surface. The first wells were built of wood, followed by stone structures. Today, most wells are built with concrete rings, which is reliable and practical.
The construction of a well is a rather laborious process, but this does not stop your work. The fact is that during the operation of the well, some defects may occur. Thus, there is a need for timely repair of the well, which of course you can do with your own hands.
Repair of a wooden well
Problems with a wooden well often arise from the rotting of the boards. Rotting and loosening of the wood leads to water pollution, and the wells can no longer be used - you will have to find ways to clean the water. The way out of such an unpleasant situation is the replacement of unusable boards. Usually, this repair consists in the complete or partial replacement of rotten boards with new, specially processed bars or planks.
Concrete or brick well
Repair of a concrete well should be carried out in the event of cracks or shifts. Such problems can arise after unscrupulous workers who used cement of poor quality. Also, this may depend on the characteristics of the soil that surrounds the well.
To solve the problem with cracks, you can use a special waterproof putty, which needs to be filled with cracks and defects from inside the well. It is better to use viscous putty, as they are more resistant to hydraulic impacts.
Brick wells are much easier to repair - often it is only necessary to replace damaged bricks. After removing the problem area, a new brick is fixed with the help of the solution. After that, the surface to be treated is plastered.
As you can see, repair of the well is not an easy task, but it is quite feasible for the owner with his hands. Anyway, it is easier to repair it than to dig a new one from scratch. Nevertheless, in case of a difficult situation, you can fully use the services of repair specialists - the main thing is to find experienced and reliable masters.
