What Is Fracking or Hydrofracking?

When your well's water output drops or runs dry, drilling a new well is expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive. Fracking, or hydrofracking, offers a faster, non-invasive alternative. By injecting high-pressure water into your existing well shaft, we physically reopen fractures in the surrounding rock formations, expanding the pathways groundwater uses to reach your well and restoring your water supply.

Whether your well gradually lost yield or suddenly dropped output, our NC-certified technicians diagnose the issue, perform the hydrofracking, and then immediately re-evaluate your pump system to ensure optimal flow and pressure throughout your entire home.

They were very professional and I will trust them with any future well repair needs.

Book Your Consultation

Well Yield & Flow Diagnosis

We test your well's current output and pressure to understand exactly why yield has dropped and whether hydrofracking is the right solution.

High-Pressure Water Injection

Our technicians lower specialized equipment into your existing well shaft and inject water at extremely high pressure to reopen fractures in the surrounding rock.

Fissure Reopening & Flow Optimization

By expanding underground fissures, we create new pathways for groundwater to flow into your well, restoring your water supply significantly.

Pump System Re-evaluation

After restoration, we immediately assess your pump, pressure tank, and controls to ensure they're optimized for restored water flow.

Low Pressure & Cycling Troubleshooting

If your system is sputtering or cycling excessively post-restoration, our pump experts diagnose and fix the issue on the spot.

Emergency Water Support & Financing

If you've lost water, we prioritize rapid restoration and offer immediate digital financing through FTL Finance so cost doesn't delay your relief.

Well Restoration & Hydrofracking FAQ

Common questions answered - your specific well situation is best discussed in a consultation.

How does fracking or hydrofracking work?

Hydrofracking uses controlled, high-pressure water to reopen and widen the natural fractures in the bedrock surrounding your well. Over time, these fissures can become clogged with sediment or simply close up, choking off the groundwater that once fed your well. By reintroducing pressure into the shaft, we reconnect your well to the water-bearing zones around it, restoring both yield and flow.

  • Sealing off a section of the well with an inflatable packer to isolate the target zone
  • Injecting water at high pressure, often exceeding 1,000 PSI
  • Reopening and widening the existing fractures in the surrounding rock
  • Creating new pathways for groundwater to flow into the well bore

Will hydrofracking damage my well?

No. Hydrofracking works entirely within the existing well casing and shaft, so there is no excavation, drilling, or structural removal involved anywhere on your property. The pressure is applied deep underground within the rock formation, not against the well components themselves, which keeps the structure safe throughout the process.

It is a proven, widely used, non-invasive restoration method that well contractors have relied on for decades. When performed by our certified technicians, it is safe for both the well structure and the surrounding property, giving you a restored water supply without the disruption of starting over.

How long does hydrofracking take?

Most hydrofracking jobs are completed in a few hours to a full day. The exact timeline depends on several factors specific to your well:

  • The depth of the well
  • The overall condition of the well and casing
  • The number of fractures being opened
  • The severity of the yield loss being addressed

Because we test your flow immediately after the work is done, the results are measurable right away, so you will know how much your yield has improved before we leave the site.

Is hydrofracking an invasive process?

Hydrofracking is a minimally invasive process. It uses high-pressure water to clear blockages and reopen fractures within your existing well, so there is no drilling, no excavation, and no major disruption to your yard or landscaping.

Our equipment works through the existing well opening, which keeps the footprint of the job small and the cleanup simple. Most projects are completed in a matter of hours, and your well is left fully intact and typically performing significantly better than it was before. For most homeowners, the process is far easier and less disruptive than they expect.

Is hydrofracking expensive compared to drilling a new well?

Not at all. When your existing well can be restored, hydrofracking is almost always the most cost-effective solution available. Compared to drilling an entirely new well, the advantages add up quickly:

  • Hydrofracking typically costs a fraction of a new well, often thousands of dollars less
  • There is no need for new drilling permits or a new well site
  • The faster turnaround means far less disruption to your property and routine
  • Flexible financing is available through FTL Finance to fit your budget

What if hydrofracking doesn't work?

In the vast majority of cases, hydrofracking successfully restores low-yield wells and brings your water supply back to a dependable level. In the rare event that adequate yield isn't restored, you won't be left without answers. We will walk you through your next options, including drilling a new well, and explain exactly what each path involves.

Our certified team is here to guide you through that decision and help you choose the most practical, cost-effective solution for your property, so you always have a clear path forward to reliable water.

What Our Customers Say

Reliable service that speaks for itself.

We found ourselves suddenly without water Memorial Day evening. I called Rowan Well Drilling and they came came out first thing the next morning. Our water pressure tank was bad and they had it changed out and working perfectly within the hour. They were very professional and I will trust them with any future well repair needs.

Tabatha Dennis

When I’ve had a well problem, I’ve called and they have arrived in a timely fashion with the nicest repair person. I would definitely use them again.

Jenny Cannon

I will certainly call them if I need more work and feel very comfortable recommending them for any well or pump repair. With what I saw on this unique and odd repair, I expect they could handle about anything they run into.
