Well Abandonment and Decommissioning

79 well drilling contractors list well abandonment and decommissioning among their services.

Well abandonment (also called decommissioning, plugging, or sealing) is the process of properly filling and sealing a well that's no longer in use, so it can't become a pathway for surface contaminants to reach groundwater. Most states require it, and it's a distinct service from drilling: not every driller advertises it, and it's easy for a homeowner replacing a dry or failed well to overlook.

See our full guide on the process and requirements below.
