Water wells are an excellent alternative to water supplied by a local municipality. In addition to saving you money in residential or commercial water bills, they provide additional health benefits to you and your family. Here are a few frequently asked questions about wells to help you decide if installing one is right for you. 

A Quick Guide to Water Wells

Does well water ever run out?

Property owners often wonder if their wells will ever go dry. While this can happen in rare cases, wells are generally drilled deep enough that groundwater will always be available. However, outside issues, such as a clogged screen or local water shortage, can impact your well’s ability to produce water.

How is a well’s location chosen?

Before a water well is drilled, your local drilling company will survey your property and identify the best site for it. The location will be safe and convenient and will be ideal for producing quality water. 

Will well drilling impact my existing landscaping?

Depending on what type of well you have installed, your landscaping may be affected. Geothermal or domestic wells, for example, generally require soil to be dug up around your property. Irrigation wells, on the other hand, are much less invasive and will leave your landscaping unchanged. 

Will my landscaping be returned to its original condition?

When a well drilling company is called out to your property, they will focus on installing a quality well. However, they will try their best to maintain your property to the best of their ability.
