Hydro-Fracturing to Improve Well Yield

Boost Well Performance and Access New Water Sources Across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon & Central BC

If your well isn’t producing enough water or your flow rate has steadily declined over time, you may not need a new well—hydro-fracturing (or “hydro-frac”) could be the solution. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we offer professional hydro-fracturing services to improve water yield for residential, agricultural, and rural properties across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon, and the Central BC Interior. This technique is ideal for underperforming wells or newly drilled wells with insufficient yield, and it can significantly increase water production without the cost of re-drilling.

What Is Hydro-Fracturing?

Hydro-fracturing is a process in which clean, pressurized water is injected into the bedrock formation of a well to open and expand existing fractures—or create new ones—allowing more groundwater to enter the well. It’s a safe, proven method to enhance the natural productivity of a well and increase long-term flow.

When to Use Hydro-Frac Services

  • New wells with low initial yield
  • Older wells with declining water production
  • Properties needing higher water volume (for irrigation, livestock, or multi-building use)
  • Wells with restricted or clogged rock fractures

Our Hydro-Fracturing Services Include:

Yield Testing & Evaluation

We begin with a detailed flow rate test and inspection to determine if your well is a good candidate for hydro-frac treatment.

Single & Dual-Packer Fracturing Methods

Depending on your well’s construction and depth, we use the most effective method—typically involving a packer system to isolate the treatment zone and focus pressure where it’s needed most.

Post-Treatment Flushing & Testing

Once the hydro-fracturing is complete, we flush the system and retest the well to measure improved flow rates and ensure water clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that drilling a well on your property can raise a lot of questions—especially if it's your first time. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from homeowners throughout Central BC.

How much will my flow improve after hydro-fracturing?
Results vary by location, but many wells see 2 to 10 times the original yield after treatment. We’ll test before and after to verify the improvement.

Is hydro-fracturing safe for my well?
Yes. When performed by trained professionals using the right methods, hydro-frac is a safe and effective way to enhance a well’s productivity.

How long does the process take?
Most hydro-fracturing jobs can be completed in a single day, including setup, treatment, and flushing.
