The Initial Steps: Planning for Well Drilling

Consultation with Experts: Reach out to reputable water well drillers for an on-site consultation.
Geological Survey: Understand your property’s geological makeup to assess natural resources like groundwater availability.
Optimal Location Determination: Identify the best spot for accessing groundwater effectively.
Permit Acquisition: Secure the necessary permits to comply with legal standards and environmental guidelines.

The Well Drilling Process: Tapping into Natural Resources

Here’s a step-by-step look at the well drilling process, which is essential for harnessing groundwater:

Site Selection and Permitting: Choose an appropriate location for the well and obtain the required permits, ensuring responsible use of natural resources.
Drilling: Employ rotary drills to reach the groundwater, guided by geological insights.
Casing Installation: Use steel or durable plastic casing to protect the well from collapse and prevent groundwater contamination.

Grouting: Add grout between the drill hole sides and the casing for additional stability and contamination prevention.

Post Well-Drilling: From Well to Home

Once the drilling is complete, here’s how we ensure your well is up to standard:

Cleaning and GPM Estimation: We clean the well using air and water from the drill rig, allowing us to calculate an estimated GPM (Gallons Per Minute).
Pump Testing: Tests are run if mandated by state regulations or specified by the owner or contractor.
Trench and Installation: We dig a trench from your home to the well site, where we install the well pump and tank.
Chlorination: We introduce chlorine into the system to sanitize the well and all connected piping and plumbing.
Water Testing: After flushing out the chlorine, we conduct a water test to ensure the water is safe to drink and to assess if any water treatment is needed.

How much does it cost to replace an entire well system?

Replacement costs vary, influenced by factors such as the pump repair’s complexity and the well casing’s condition. Professional drilling services are crucial for avoiding collapse and maintaining a clean water supply.

How can you tell if your well pump is going bad?

Signs of a problem include fluctuating water pressure, dirty water, and unusual noises from the pump. A drilling company can promptly repair these issues to prevent more significant problems.
