Well Abandonment in Orlando, FL

An unused well is never just a hole in the ground — it's an open pathway between the surface and the aquifer below. LPR Services provides professional well abandonment across Orlando and Central Florida, permanently sealing wells that are no longer in service.

From pump removal through final sealing and documentation, we handle the entire process in compliance with state and water management district requirements.

Why Unused Wells Must Be Properly Sealed

An abandoned well left open or improperly capped creates two serious problems. First, it's a direct conduit for surface contaminants — runoff, fertilizers, bacteria — to bypass the soil's natural filtration and reach the groundwater that supplies your neighbors' wells and the region's drinking water. Second, an open or deteriorating wellhead is a physical hazard for children, pets, and equipment.

Florida takes this seriously: wells that are no longer in use are required to be properly plugged, and simply capping or burying an old well does not meet the requirement. Proper abandonment protects the aquifer, your liability, and your property's future.

When Well Abandonment Is Needed

• You've connected to municipal water and no longer use the well
• A new well has replaced an older, failing one
• You've purchased a property with an old, unused, or unknown well
• A well is damaged, collapsing, or contaminated beyond restoration
• Development or construction plans require closing an existing well

Not sure whether an old well can be saved instead? We can evaluate it — sometimes a well that looks done can be returned to service with the right repairs. See our Well Pump Services for restoration options.

Our Well Abandonment Process

1. Site evaluation — assessing the well's depth, construction, condition, and the appropriate closure method for the site
2. Equipment removal — pulling the pump, drop pipe, wiring, and any downhole components, since a well can't be properly sealed with equipment in the shaft
3. Filling and sealing — placing approved sealing materials from the bottom up for a continuous, permanent seal
4. Documentation — completing the required reporting so the closure is properly recorded

Residential, Agricultural, and Commercial Wells

Every well is different — a shallow irrigation well and a deep residential well call for different closure approaches. We evaluate each site individually and select the method that seals it correctly, whether it's a small backyard well or a larger agricultural or commercial unit.

A Smart Move Before You Sell or Build

Unclosed wells increasingly surface during real estate inspections, closings, and permitting — where they become expensive, deadline-pressured problems. Handling abandonment on your own schedule, with proper documentation in hand, is far easier than scrambling mid-transaction. If you're planning to sell, build, or refinance, closing that old well now is cheap insurance.
