These cracks are also called \u201cveins\u201d or \u201cfractures\u201d. These cracks can sometimes be blocked by sediment, deposits and stone dust that prevent water from reaching the well.<\/p><p>Hydrofracturing consists of injecting water under pressure into the well to push out anything that obstructs the fissures. With the pressure, we open or increase in a natural way the cracks already present in the rock. This then allows the water to enter the well more easily. This allows the well to provide more water at a higher flow rate.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4adaace elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4adaace\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.groupeh2o.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nettoyage-puit.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1193\" height=\"468\" \/><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-6853\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-6853\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\">  Repairing a surface well with a gelinite tile  <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-6853\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b7242a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4b7242a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-6853\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c0ee4b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8c0ee4b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7c72f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d7c72f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38209a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"38209a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Repairing a surface well with a gelinite tile<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26792c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26792c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p>If your\u00a0surface well\u00a0is old, you may notice that the perforated tile at the bottom of your well is deteriorating.<\/p><p>Thankfully, there\u2019s no need to replace your well!
