How Does Flooding Impact a Well?

Under normal operating conditions, most domestic water well caps are designed to allow air flow in and out of the well through screened air vents. During flood conditions, these screened air vents will allow flood water to enter into your well. Once the flood water has entered your well, your well water may become contaminated and present a potential health hazard to you and your family. Contaminated wells must be rehabilitated by a professional water well contractor and the procedure may be expensive.

The solution:

A Monitor® Premium Water Tight Well Cap and Snorkel Vent.

• Under normal operating conditions; the Monitor Snorkel Vent will allows air to flow into the well.
• When a flood occurs, the flood water pushes a precision float ball in a finely machined sealing surface, closing off passageway into the well.
• The Snorkel Vent along with a Monitor Premium Watertight Well Cap, is rated for up to 25 ft of head water.

*** Always Remember to have your well tested for bacteria and other contaminates after a flood***
