Well Extensions

Portage Plumbing installs and upgrades well extensions to improve safety, prevent contamination, and bring existing wells up to current code requirements. Well extensions are especially important for older wells, properties with low well heads, or areas prone to surface water, frost, and flooding. Our installations are built to protect your water supply, prevent freeze-ups, and allow proper access for servicing and testing.

Well Extension Services Include:

  • Installation of well extensions to raise well heads above grade

  • Bringing existing wells up to current Ontario code requirements

  • Replacement of damaged or low well casings

  • Installation of proper well seals and screened vents

  • Freeze protection for exposed well heads

  • Sealing gaps and penetrations to prevent surface water entry

  • Upgrading older wells for improved safety and accessibility

  • Integration with existing pump, venting, and electrical systems

  • Final inspection and testing to ensure a secure, watertight installation
