Becoming a well contractor in the state of Connecticut is not an easy task. Not only do you need experience and training, but you must also have insurance and a certification from the state. With decades of experience in the industry, Dalmik Well Drilling in Putnam knows what it takes to get into the field.

Here, they outline the three major steps involved in becoming a well contractor in Connecticut:

• Complete a Three-Year Apprenticeship Program: Well contracting work requires extensive on-the-job experience, since the only way to learn how to operate the equipment and complete drilling work is by practicing. The state of Connecticut currently requires applicants to have completed a three-year apprenticeship program or a verified equivalent. 
• Purchase Liability & Property Damage Insurance: Before you obtain your license, you will need to show proof of liability insurance that covers at least $300,000, along with a minimum of $100,000 of property damage insurance. 
• Pass the Contractor or Journeyman Exam: Finally, you will take the well contractor or journeyman exam, along with the trade and business and law tests. You’ll need to have completed the three-year apprenticeship and purchased your insurance before you can apply.
