Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How long does it typically take to drill a well?
A: Our drilling process usually takes 1-3 days, depending on the complexity of the site and the depth of the well.
Q: Do I need any permits before getting a well drilled?
A: Yes, you will usually need a septic permit before getting a new well drilled. This is because the location of the well will affect the location of the septic system.
Q: What is a septic permit?

Q: Can you assist with the permitting process?
A: Yes, we can assist with the permitting process and provide guidance on the requirements for drilling a well in your area.
Q: How do I know if my property is suitable for a well?
A: We will conduct a site assessment to determine if your property is suitable for drilling a well. This assessment will take into account factors such as the geology of the area, the water table, and potential hazards.
Q: How much does it cost to drill a well?
A: Well drilling costs can vary depending on several factors, such as the area, depth of the well, and type of ground. Due to these variables, we cannot provide an exact estimate without conducting a site assessment. However, we can provide a rough estimate if we have the address of your home or a nearby neighbor's property.
Q: What is a dry hole?
A: A dry hole is a well that does not produce water despite drilling to a depth where water is expected to be present. This can happen due to a variety of factors such as geological conditions, depth, or hydrological conditions.
Q: Can you guarantee that there will be water in my well?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that there will be water in your well in all areas as it depends on several factors such as geological conditions, depth, and hydrological conditions. We will conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the potential for water in your well.
Q: What happens if my well is a dry hole?
A: If your well is a dry hole, we will evaluate the site to determine if there are other options for obtaining water, such as drilling in a different location or using a different drilling technique.
Q: Do you offer financing options for drilling a well?
A: Unfortunately, we do not offer financing options for drilling a well. However, you can seek financing through a bank or financial institution.
Q: What financing options are available for well drilling?
A: You can typically obtain a loan through a bank or credit union to finance the cost of drilling a well. You may also be able to obtain a home equity loan or refinance your mortgage to cover the cost.
