A drilled well is a hole that is bored into the ground to access an underground water source, known as an aquifer. This hole is lined with a casing to stabilize the well structure and prevent contaminants from entering the water supply. A well pump, either a jet pump or a submersible pump, is then installed to bring the water to the surface. Learn more about the different types of well pumps we offer.
The time required to drill a well can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as the depth required, the type of soil, and geological conditions. On average, it takes about 1-3 days to complete the drilling process. Contact our well drilling professionals for a more accurate time estimate tailored to your specific needs.
While it’s relatively uncommon, a drilled well can run dry. This is especially true during periods of drought or if the well is not adequately maintained. Regular well maintenance and service can help prevent your well from running dry.
The location and depth of the underground water source or aquifer determine the depth of a well. Well depths can range from 100 to 500 feet, but this can vary. Our well drilling services are customized to meet the specific depth requirements of your location.
The cost of drilling a well can vary widely based on a range of factors including the depth of the well, the type of pump installed, and your geographic location. For a detailed cost breakdown and free estimate, get in touch.

Sump pumps are indispensable devices designed to remove excess water that accumulates in a sump basin, usually located in the basements of homes. These pumps activate when water reaches a predetermined level in the sump basin. A motor inside the pump then propels the water out through a discharge pipe.

Well pumps are essential electromechanical devices that come into play once a well is successfully drilled. Their primary function is to transport water from the well to a storage tank in your home. Depending on the type and usage, a well pump can last anywhere from 8 to 15 years.
The lifespan of a well pump varies based on its type, the quality of the installation, and how much it’s used. Generally, you can expect a well pump to last between 8 to 15 years. Regular maintenance can extend its lifespan.
