Why Are Well Covers Important?

If you have never lived on a property with a well before, you might assume that wells don’t require much maintenance or protection. However, the truth is that wells need to be thoroughly protected and monitored to prevent them from becoming contaminated.

Since there are numerous ways in which a well can become contaminated, it’s important to have the proper solutions in place and routine services to ensure your water remains clean and usable. One easy preventative measure includes investing in well covers.


Well covers are, quite simply, lids placed over the top of your well to keep debris out and protect the well from the elements. If you’re wondering why well covers are so essential, here are a few factors to consider:

  • Potential Pollution – Well water can easily become contaminated by dust, dirt, and debris, but well covers can reliably keep these pollutants out.
  • Insects and Pests – Insects and spiders often like living in dark, damp areas, which can make your well an appealing target. Rodents and other small animals may also contaminate your well water, whether it’s with their droppings or their decomposing bodies if they become trapped inside. Well covers will help to prevent these problems in the first place.
  • Precipitation – It might seem strange to prevent rain from getting inside your well, but rainwater can have surprising amounts of contaminants that could impact your water quality. Rainwater takes a remarkably long time to trickle down and become groundwater, and it becomes purified in the process.
