I need some advice from some of the concrete gurus, and other wise sages and any one else who might know how to do this job. The job to be done is resealing around a 4" steel pipe well casing. There is a 3'x6' x4" slab poured around it and the pump tank house is built on part of the slab. The slab has cracked around the casing, and now I am getting rain water into the well,apparently going down by the gap I see beside the casing. Washing silt into it when we have a heavy rain, the crack is about 1" wide at the worse places. How will it work to mix up some very thin concrete and pour it into the crack? how thin can you mix and pour it and still have it setup? Is it better maybe to take something like the bags of quickcrete and try to pour it into the gap then let it get wet on it's own, then fill the crack in the slab later after that sets up? Will I need to try to pour something like fine gravel and/or sand in the gap beside the casing first to make sure that the dry concrete mix doesn't go too far down? Has anybody ever done this sort of thing. Had to shut the well down when it got really rainy, and use the one at the other house, fortunately we have them connected with pipes and valves to supply both houses when there is a problem with one or the other. Guess I will have to pull the submergible pump up a few feet to get it away from the silt? Need to get this fixed because this leaves me with no reserve for trouble, and if you live in the country and depend on a well for water, it will definitly fail at some time or the other, usually at a bad or wrong time. Would appreciate any advice if any body is willing to share. Thanks Gene Davis
