1. What type of equipment do we use to drill Wells?
-Most modern drilling equipment available to this date: We use a T3W Ingersoll Rand rotary hammer that breaks open water bearing rock like nobody's business. We are always trying to keep up with the latest technology available.

2. How do you know how much casing I am going to need?
-Approximately 90% of all Wells in Maine are Wells drilled into bed rock( ledge). Maine State law requires drilling approximately 10 feet into solid beck rock and at this point set in 6" Well casing with drive shoe (seal).

3. How much water am I going to need?
-Most households require State recommended gal. per minute based on depth of Well. Such as 180' Well would require 3 gallons per minute. A 250' Well would require 2 gallons per minute, 320" 1 gallon, 420" 1/2 gallon. This is minimum recommended for a single family home.

-Pump and tank systems for residential use are sized by depth of Well and water flow your Well is producing. In most cases pump systems are determined after Well is drilled.

5. How long does it take to drill a Well?
- Most Wells today are drilled in one day or less.

6. How do I determine where my Well should go?
-It is important to get together with your Well drilling professional for a sight inspection. At that time, together, we will determine set backs from such things as septic systems and it is important to look at terrain and any over head branches, wires or obstructions.

7. What will my Well Cost?
- In most cases Well cost is determined by depth drilled and amount of casing used. Pump systems are based on size of system needed for your particular needs. It is important to remember that having the most modern water system will only increase the value of your home.
