How would I go about developing 1-1/4 in shallow well that is in my basement. Without getting water everywhere

You can backwash and then pump..... The small diameter limits you a lot... but you could make a surge block tool with a packer and a check valve. Check out welldeveloper.com for ideas

Never done it, but I wonder if you adapt to the 1-1/4 pipe to the input of a self-priming trash pump, and pump outside? I think I read somewhere that a vent was not needed on a shallow well. Of course that doesn't make it true.
