The well is 100 or 120' with the submersible pump at 80' [22'water table].
The pump failed [circuit broken, no above ground wiring/voltage problems and replaced the control panel].
After freeing the down-pipe and electricals, we proceeded to hand-pull the well. It seemed to be wedged but we attempted to break it free, to no avail.
We next employed a hand wench, which did yield maybe 1.5' of exposed pipe, but I could feel the tension building on the wench which suggests pipe stretching to me. DEFINITELY not wanting to break the pipe, I backed off, repeated but had the same resulting tension...the exposed pipe remains exposed [not dropping back down].
Any suggestions regarding how to break the pump free so we can pull it?
Thanks!
