FAQ

 

How Much Does it Cost to Drill a Water Well?

    Drilling a water well on your property can be a big investment, but is well worth the expense. The cost of drilling a water well can also vary depending on where you live. So how do you decide if the cost of your drilling project is reasonable? To make an informed assessment, it helps to understand the various factors that influence the cost of drilling the well.


Number of Feet Drilled

   Each location is unique and requires different drilling depths to reach the water supply. The deeper the well, the higher the cost of drilling!


Soil Type

    Different soil types require different drilling techniques and equipment. Hard rock, such as granite, can be very difficult to drill. Other types such as clay and limestone are easier to drill through. To drill into unconsolidated sediments, such as gravel or sand, the casing must be used to keep the well from collapsing. 


Well Casing

    There are different advantages to using the various options available for well casings. PVC pipes are commonly used and are often a cost-effective option. Steel pipes are a costly option and tend to rust over time. We recommend PVC pipe for the standard household setup. 


Drilling Conditions 

    Another factor affecting the cost of drilling a water well is the conditions of the drilling site. Difficult terrain, the distance to the drilling site, and the availability of water all must be factored into the cost of the drilling job.  


Well Completion

    Once the well is drilled, there are additional costs to complete it and make it operational. Generally, this includes a pump & water tank, the cost varies on the size of the tank and horsepower of the pump. The average homes has a 120-gallon tank with a 1 HP pump. We will guide you to the right setup to meet your needs for your home or business!
