Why clog a well? Water is so expensive ... In addition, I wonder if it is not an automatic irrigation system for your cellar, there may be a small hidden gutter which eliminates the water ...

Uh the water that arrives in a cellar can make a house unhealthy ... humidity is a long-term poison for any construction ...

I seem to remember that having a well in a cellar can be useful.
It allows an atmospheric pressure of a vein of water which passed in the ground, and which caused unpleasantness.
I do not know if it is to avoid the rise of groundwater, or to serve as an overflow and avoid rising humidity in the walls.

You have to see the depth of the well.
If it is one or 2 meters, it is because of a lost well.
It is possible that the rains we have experienced have gone back
the phreatic tablecloth which causes you this annoyance and makes
therefore this presumption could be temporarily lost out of use.

If it is a real well, it is a shame to fill it up.
mentioned above, the rising price of water makes it a real treasure.

Now if it threatens to collapse, there is a real need to act.
The best solution seems to me to be to vertically place a
drain hose of the largest possible diameter.
being able to slide a pump on it later.
well walls and the pipe you backfilled with gallets of flint or
argex (not easy to flow, over time we get there.
then it is lighter per m²). At the limit of coarse river sand
will be suitable, provided that the drainage pipe is slid
geotextil sheath.
This will prevent the sand from entering the drain.

To sew the geotextil, use fishing wire (3kg) it goes very
well from a sewing machine.

When you cover everything with concrete, think about leaving a manhole
giving access to the upper end of the drain.

Whatever your decision, think of airing the cellar.

In the event that you are considering drying works of your
walls, consult a specialist. Indeed, depend on nature
of your walls and the mortar to use, the building may suffer
Since you have a well in your cellar, your building should be
old .Balances were formed. By modifying the environment
of the building, the building will adapt to the new conditions
which may not be as interesting as you hope.

you should also see if the water in your cellar does not also come from the water table (or horizontal infiltration) which is too high.
in this case, it is very serious and it is necessary to put a sealing film around the foundations, it is a matter for specialists. (I'm a bit aware, I lived on rue des 3 fontaines, the aptly named)

how high is the water in the well, relative to the cellar floor ???

thanks for these tips ...

in fact the water does not overflow the well but it is in the triangles that I have in each corner of the cellar that there is !!!



I would like to plug my well in order to be able to fill my cellar completely because it is badly situated for my taste for the layout that I want to do in my house and no use ...

I think these triangles are a lesser evil. An air vent to bring the water up through these conduits, in the event of an underground overpressure, to avoid forced infiltration into your walls.

Think!
You had a well.
If these ducts-triangles were made in the corners of the walls, in addition to the well, it is not for nothing ...
