I'm hoping someone can help us.
We will have just closed on our first house 2 weeks ago Monday. We had a full house inspection done, which showed low water pressure and the inspector recommended the "well" pump be replaced. Now, we hired a guy to replace the well pump. He checked the well pump and said it wasn't bad, but the foot valve to the well itself needs to be replaced. The problem is.We can't FIND the well! And no, we're not idiots! There is more than an acre and I really don't want to dig up every single inch of land to find it. I called the County Courthouse to see if they had maps of the property on record, and their records only go back to 1977, the house was originally built in 1945. We've tried following the water out line from the well pump in the basement, dug down 6 feet, and still nothing. We've tried having someone "witch" it, dug where they said, still nothing. We tried a metal detector and picked up all sorts of things but haven't found the well. Any suggestions?
