Well pump repair in Flint, TX
Well help for the unincorporated Flint area and homes near the east side of Lake Palestine.
Flint is an unincorporated community southwest of Tyler, with neighborhoods and acreage stretching toward Lake Palestine. Some homes here are on water supply corporation lines, and many others, especially on larger lots, rely on private wells.
What should owners near the lake know?
Homes near Lake Palestine often sit on sandy soils, and many have both a well and a septic system on the same lot. Texas rules generally require a new well to be at least 50 feet from a septic tank and 100 feet from a drain field, with a sloped concrete pad around the wellhead and the casing at least 12 inches above ground. Keeping the wellhead sealed and surface water draining away from it protects the water.
How often should I test my water?
The Texas Well Owner Network recommends testing for bacteria once a year and whenever your water's color, smell or taste changes, such as after flooding or a repair. A well professional can also shock-chlorinate the well if bacteria show up.
What do Flint well calls usually involve?
- No water and pump failures
- Short cycling and pressure tank replacement
- Water testing and shock chlorination after repairs
- Wellhead and casing repairs
Common questions
Is Flint on city water?
Flint is unincorporated. Some homes are served by water supply corporations, and many others use private wells.
What should the area around my wellhead look like?
Texas rules for new wells call for a concrete slab sloped away from the well and casing at least 12 inches above ground, or a pitless adapter, so surface water can't run into the well.
