-Is the site accessible for a drill rig?
-Will the site be accessible in the future for service work?
-Is there any possibility that buildings could be expanded over the
well in future?
-Are there power lines overhead?
-Will the well head be in danger of being run into by a car, plow, etc.?
-Is there bedrock close to the surface that would make it difficult to
run the water line?
-Will the water line have to cross the driveway or any roadway?
How important are aesthetics?
-Will a well head on your front lawn bother you?
-Is there a suitable place to drill that is less conspicuous?
Once your well is drilled, excavation needs to happen to trench the service pipe and wire from the wellhead to your home. We design your pump and pressure tank installation system to meet your needs.
We offer a free "Mineral Test" of your well water for a new well that we have drilled; this is the perfect time to figure out if the water coming out of your well is going to give you any problems (most commonly scale from hard minerals, stains and/or odors from iron, manganese and sulfur or pH issues that will affect your plumbing).
Water can change over time so it is suggested that you re-test once every 3-5 years or sooner if you notice a sudden change in odor, taste or staining. We offer free recommendations for treatment units if you choose. We carry a great line of units which you can look at on the link.
Over the long term, the cost of water from your well will be pennies per day. Even factoring in construction and routine maintenance, a private well is still cost effective when compared to other systems. You can print off a copy of our "Investment" flyer which helps put the costs in day-to-day perspective.
