It’s going to be below freezing soon so don’t forget to winterize your pump system. You can do this by:

1: leave a few faucets dripping so the water will always be moving.

2: wrap any exposed pipes with insulation.

3: If your pump isn’t in an insulated well house, put a light near the piping for heat. Not too close, though.

4: If you’re not planning on being home for a few days or you have an irrigation well just turn the power off to the pump and drain the system. It won’t freeze if there’s no water in it.

A little preparation can keep your water flowing and save you some money on repairs. Merry Christmas and happy new year from Mitchum Well Drilling!

Always look before reaching your hand into a hollow concrete block. A nearly 3’ long copperhead was hiding in one on the job site today. 🐍

Voted this morning before work. I was always told that if you don’t vote you can’t complain so I guess I earned my right to gripe...

We pulled this pump from a well today that’s been in since 1977. That’s 41 years! He definitely got his moneys worth with this one.

This shark tooth washed out of a well we drilled today. We normally don’t see them this big or in such good condition.

With cold weather approaching it’s important to protect your water system from freezing. Here are a few simple tips.
1. Wrap all exterior water pipes with foam pipe insulation. It’s easy to install and inexpensive.
2. Either build or buy an insulated well cover. Even something temporary to get you through the winter is better than nothing.
3. Leave a faucet dripping at night to keep the water moving. This will make it less likely to freeze.
4. If your well cover/pump house isn’t insulated you can put a light in it to provide a little warmth. Use a small watt bulb (not fluorescent or led) and don’t place it too close to the system or pipes.

You can get all the items listed above at your local hardware store. Be safe, and have a blessed holiday season.

We drilled a well at Strawberry Chapel in Cordesville today. So much history right in our back yard. That's why I love South Carolina!

A little goes a long way. A standard light bulb can produce just enough heat to keep your pump from freezing. Also, remember to leave your faucets dipping on really cold nights.
