I tried to pull my submersible pump from my 400' deep well. The 1 1/2" PVC pipe came loose (didn't break) at a coupling at 30' deep. Naturally, the wires broke also. I can reach the wires with pliers ( 3 feet into the 6" PVC casing) but, the pump is stuck in silt. Is there any way I can DIY to "grab" the pipe to continue? I did pull the pump through the silt about 8 - 10 feet before it turned loose. The reason for pulling the pump was to apply a "patch seal" to stop the silt since the casing did not reach the bedrock. The pump and water are, or was, OK. Well man says I must drill a new well.
