I was thinking if the well survived before, without the plug, it could continue to do so today, assuming any escaping water has somewhere to go.

If they only hadn't drilled a well so close to the house when they built it in '84, the dumm clucks! About 8 feet from the overhead garage doors. Frost heaving is a real concern when the ground becomes saturated, and signs as such like my garage floor giant crack tell me it's plug or drill another at $7000.

I think I'll plug and live with it. I've learned how to crank the faucets open very carefully now....

Get rid of the bladder tank or install a hydro-pneumatic tank in tandem and install an air release (AVC). Problem solved, plus you get a really good drawdown on your pump system.

I used a wellmate hp series tank. You can google them. Both Keller supply and Ferguson in Wasilla are distributors for wellmate. Flexcon also makes a composite tank that has an air volume valve instead of a bladder. It is the FLU series equipped with the optional air volume control.
