Cleaning and Restoring Leaking Well Functionality in Bergamo
Septic tanks, or absorbent tanks, are fundamental structures for the underground disposal of rainwater collected from roofs, yards, and gardens, especially in areas not served by a dedicated drainage system. Over time, however, their drainage capacity can drastically decrease, even to the point of complete failure, causing water stagnation and flooding.

Why does a Leaky Well stop working?
The loss of efficiency of a soakaway well is a gradual process caused by the accumulation of materials that clog its drainage walls. The main causes are:
- Accumulation of Sediment: Leaves, soil, sand, mud, and other debris are carried by the water and settle on the bottom and walls of the well.
- Waterproofing of the Walls: Over time, fine sediment creates a compact, impermeable layer (""filling"" effect) that prevents water from seeping into the surrounding soil.
- Lack of Maintenance: The lack of periodic cleaning accelerates the clogging process until it stops functioning completely.
Our Restoration Intervention: How We Work
Our goal is not only to empty the well, but to restore its original absorbent capacity. The intervention is divided into several phases:
- Complete Emptying: Using our vacuum trucks, we proceed with the complete extraction of the water, mud, and all solid debris accumulated inside the well.
- Hydrodynamic Cleaning of the Walls: This is the crucial phase. We use high-pressure probes (Canal Jet) to vigorously wash the internal walls of the well. This process breaks down the impermeable layer of sediment, reopening the water's escape routes to the ground.
- Drainage Verification: After cleaning, we verify that the well's drainage capacity has been restored.
- Waste Disposal: All extracted material is transported and disposed of properly at authorized centers.
When to Seek Intervention? Signs Not to Ignore
Contact us if you notice any of these problems, especially after heavy rains:
- Water in the well remains stagnant for hours or days.
- Large puddles form and flooding occurs in surrounding areas (yards, gardens, courtyards).
- The flow of rainwater towards the well is slowed or blocked.
