For Our Well Drilling Customers

We specialize in residential and agricultural well drilling.  Regardless of the job it typically involves the following steps?

We'll typically ask you a few questions to determine your water needs, a single family home is going to need significantly less water than a large blueberry farm.  If there is an existing well on the property and the area is known to have water issues will it make more sense to address the supply issues with storage?   

Regardless of whether or not we're intimately familiar with your property we're going to refer to the provincial well database, review our written notes on the previous wells we've drilled in the area, and will ask you about your neighbours' wells (up until 2005 wells were often not registered with the province).  Once we've determined your water needs and studied the wells in the area we'll write up an estimate for you.  If the estimate is within your budget we'll arrange  to come out and do a site visit.  On the site visit we'll address any questions you have and we'll pick a spot together.  Verifying the minimum setback distances from any potential sources of contamination while minimizing the run to the home/pump house to save on costs is a big part of this.  At this point we collect a deposit and put you on the drilling Queue.

Now for the fun part.  After we're set up and ready to go the first thing we'll do is drill your surface seal.  Then we'll drill until we encounter a suitable aquifer with enough water to meet your needs, we won't drill past the depth on the estimate unless we can get approval from the property owner.  When we've finished with the well construction we move on to developing the well.

Development of your well is an important, and necessary part of the well construction process.  It's needed in order to maximize the yield, increase the longevity of your well, and to remove any sand or sediment that has the potential to enter your pumping system.  At this point we'll also either airlift or pump the well in order to determine the yield

Once we're done with the drilling we'll invoice you and collect the balance before leaving site.  We'll attach a well tag and register the well with the Province.  Both you and the province will receive copies of the well log after the balance of the invoice has been paid.  From here you'll have your chosen pump contractor install your well pump, the information the pump contractor needs will be on the well log but I strongly suggest they call us for more info before they get started.
