Success Starts Here.
Welcome to Dapalco! This website is designed to work as a guide to help you successfully retrieve broken pipes from wells. TheFetch is the original pipe retrieval tool. Made in the U.S.A. it is designed for removing broken pipes and pumps from wells. It features a stainless steel body with retractable jaws (dogs) that grip the broken pipe to extract it from any depth. Dapalco offers three different series of tools to work with a wide range of pipe and casing combinations. We are dedicated to offering realistic solutions, and are ready to provide customers with guidance and real time support. Our high-quality tools are reliable and can save thousands of dollars versus drilling a new well. Think you only need to use it once? Check out the buyback program in the TheFetch Store.

Know Your Setup
Take out the guesswork.
01
Well Information
Before selecting the right tool, you will need some information about your setup. Each tool is custom tailored for different situations, so the more information you have, the more we can help.
02
Identify Components
You will need to know the material of pipe, if the there is an attached coupling, pipe inside diameter (ID), pipe schedule (thickness) if it is PVC, casing diameter (ID), well depth in feet or meters, and how many feet or meters of pipe needs to be retrieved.

04
Additional Considerations
The Tool Selector provides specific information about each tool for the pipe and casing combinations that they are designed to work with. If you are unsure about what to select, contact us and we can help you determine the best option.
You need to know if there are any obstacles that need to be addressed. Are the wires still attached to the pump? They need to be cleared so they don't bind the pump against the casing during retrieval. Is the casing straight? If it has shifted or caved in from an earthquake, this could be an issue.
