Our local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams are on call 24 hours a day to respond to storm and flood damage emergencies. Flooding can occur in Bemidji, and The Minnesota State Department of Health (MDH) website is a great resource for finding information to help prepare in advance for a flood. One often overlooked step to prepare for a flood is to protect your well. The MDH offers recommends these steps if well owners think their well may flood:
- Store a supply of clean water before taking the well out of service
- Disconnect the power supply for the well. For help, call a licensed well contractor or pump installer.
- If time allows, have a licensed well contractor install a watertight seal, replacing the regular vented well cap or seal
- If you don’t have time to have a professional install a water tight seal, clean off the outside of the well casing and cover the top of the well with a heavy-duty trash bag or some other form of heavy plastic sheeting. Secure the plastic covering with electrical tape or other waterproof tape or strapping material. Do not use duct tape.
