Lost equipment down a monitoring well?
We get it back.
The Extraction Kit is the first fully patented retrieval system combining a live HD inspection camera with precision lock-off technology — purpose-built for 2 to 4 inch groundwater monitoring and remediation wells.
Watch the inspection camera locate and lock onto a QED bladder pump inside a 2 inch well casing with no safety line — exactly as it works in the field.
Rent directly from the team that engineered and field-tested the Extraction Kit, or purchase for your team.

Fully patented technology | First of its kind in the field | Trusted by environmental firms across North America | Ships same or next business day
Losing equipment in a monitoring well costs more than most field teams realize
$500 – $5,000 — Equipment replacement
Bladder pumps, transducers, and data loggers are expensive to replace — and often impossible to source mid-project.
$500 – $1500 per day — Field labor and downtime
A two-person field crew can cost $500 to $1,500 per day in combined labor, vehicle, and per diem — with no guarantee of success on improvised retrieval.
$8,000 – $40,000 — Well abandonment and re-drilling
When retrieval fails entirely, abandoning and re-drilling a monitoring well is the most costly outcome on any groundwater project.
One avoided well abandonment covers the cost of the Extraction Kit many times over — and even a single successful same-day retrieval can save your team thousands in equipment replacement and lost field time.

Every hour spent on improvised retrieval methods is billable time lost. Here is what a single lost equipment event actually costs without the Extraction Kit on hand:
1 — Lower The Extraction Kit is lowered into the well casing on the camera cable — the structural anchor for the entire system.
2 — Locate The live HD camera feed shows your operator exactly what is inside the well and where the lost equipment or obstruction is positioned at any depth — before any retrieval attempt is made.
3 — Lock Pull the green cable. The grabber head arms close and lock onto the object with a single pull — secure, precise, and controlled.
4 — Retrieve Pull the camera cable. The equipment comes up intact. Pull the grey cable to unlock and release the grabber arms. Most retrievals take minutes.
How the Extraction Kit works
Ease of use is important to us. Can be operated by a single field technician. No specialist training required.
20 feet of PVC pipe — 2-inch monitoring well, 120+ feet deep
A field team successfully retrieved 20 feet of 1-inch PVC pipe from over 120 feet down in a 2-inch monitoring well in minutes. The video captures a unique moment — the camera pans to the live monitor mid-retrieval, showing exactly what the operator sees as the inspection camera locates and engages with the PVC pipe deep within the well.
Every retrieval below was performed by an environmental field team on an active project site using the Extraction Kit — no specialist support, no prior experience with the tool.
Real retrievals. Real projects. Real results.
PVC pipe cutter — 2-inch monitoring well, retrieved in minutes
A field technician recovered a PVC pipe cutter from a 2-inch groundwater monitoring well in minutes. No well damage. No downtime. Project continued on schedule.
Both retrievals were completed by field technicians operating the Extraction Kit independently — with no prior training beyond the included instructions.
