A private well can provide a dependable supply of water to your home for drinking, bathing, and cleaning. Before you commit to water well drilling, you’ll likely want to know more about the process and long-term benefits of the installation. Make an informed decision for your property by consulting the following guide.

Your Guide to Well Drilling

How much space does it require?

Water wells are typically at least 25 feet deep. However, they don’t require much surface area on your lot. The casing sits about 1 foot off the ground and is approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter, which makes it easy to fit on properties of any size. 

Where does the water come from?

Wells draw water from aquifers and use pumps to move fluids from the ground supply into your plumbing system. Pumps have pressure gauges that automatically activate and replenish the supply for your home when water levels become low.

What are the advantages?

When you own a private well, you don’t have to rely on the city to provide water to your home, which is especially convenient during outages. You’ll have more control over your supply than if you used a municipal source. Additionally, water wells often increase the values of homes and make them more attractive to potential buyers. 

Is the water quality better?

Since well water doesn’t have to travel as far to get to your home, it often tastes fresher and cleaner. The municipal system may use treatment methods that introduce contaminants into the water and make it less healthy to drink. A natural bedrock filter in your well can prevent the need for water treatment with chemicals that reduce its quality and safety.
