When deciding where to drill, it is essential to evaluate several key factors, and the best step you can take is to consult with experienced well drilling companies. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, about 15 percent of the U.S. population, over 43 million people, rely on private wells for their drinking water, making proper planning critical. Important considerations include the terrain and accessibility of the well site, both now and in the future, especially if nearby construction is planned. You will also need to account for legal distances from property lines and septic systems, which can vary by location. The current and potential future placement of homes and outbuildings, as well as the presence of electric or utility lines, should also be factored into your decision.

Yes, but check with the county you are constructing the well in to see how this applies to you.

The State of Missouri requires a well certification report after completion of the well, which we will provide as part of a job "well" done. If you have further questions, contact our well pump service today.

Wells can differ significantly, so the most accurate answer to this question is: it depends. Geological formations in your area play a major role in determining the depth, yield, and construction methods necessary to drill your well safely and effectively.

As experienced well drilling companies in the area, we combine our firsthand knowledge with research into existing wells nearby to give you a clearer understanding of what your specific project may involve. Once we assess the site, we can provide a more accurate estimate of what it will take to construct your well and the associated costs.

Again, this depends on your needs. In our experience, the average usage is 100 gallons per day per person. Remember that landscaping is a major consideration when thinking about water usage. Contact our well pump service if you want to learn more.

Casing is a metal or plastic pipe that lines the borehole to protect your well. It plays a critical role in sealing out contaminants, supporting the surrounding rock and soil, and helping to prevent corrosion over time.

As part of our comprehensive well pump service, casing is installed in compliance with the regulations set by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), based on the specific requirements of your well location.

A PVC liner is similar to a casing, but it is made from a very hard plastic called PVC (poly-vinyl chloride). A PVC liner is used to seal out contamination, hold back formation and prevent rust. PVC liner is located on the inside of the casing and borehole. Reach out to our well pump service if you have further questions.
