We install high quality residential water wells every
day that will meet the needs of you and your family. These wells typically are either
2 or 4 in diameter, depending on the amount of water you will consume. All of
our 2 wells are drilled with the Casing Driven method with Cable tool
drill rigs. They will have galvanized steel casing and it may be open ended or
screened. Flow rates are usually between 25 and 40 gallons per minute, if the
static water table
is within 10-15 feet. You may use up to a 1 ½ hp
sprinkler pump on these wells.
With open end wells the casing is driven into a rock or consolidated
formation, the casing is then cleaned out and open hole is drilled into the rock.. After
well development, the well is pumped clean all your water comes from the porous rock
formation.
Screened wells are usually installed in areas where no consolidated
formation exists. These formations may be different grades of sand or shell, and sometimes
combinations of both. Depending on the volume required, we may install between 10 feet and
20 feet of screen. Theses wells are developed with air or by pump surging to remove fine
sands from the screen interval. Like the open end wells our 2 screened wells use
galvanized casings with PVC screens.
