Drilled Wells for Normal Household Use

Approximately 95% of all wells drilled produce adequate water for normal household use, and these wells vary in depth. Due to various rock formations, some wells may contain mineral content which may be bothersome. Therefore, these wells require a water analysis to determine if filtration is needed to correct the problem. Our company will be glad to assist you in the handling of the water analysis.

 

Drilled Wells for Commercial or Industrial Use

We recommend a geological survey of the sites where customers need a high-yielding well. Geological surveys have the capability to locate water-bearing fractures or openings in the rock (aquifers).

 

Hydrofracturing for Wells

Hydrofracturing is used to increase water flow in low-yielding wells. The process involves the following steps:

1) Inserting a camera down the well;

2) Inspecting for cracks in the rock;

3) Setting a packer above and below the crack or fracture; and

4) Applying hydraulic pressure up to 3,000 pounds per square inch (psi) using water for the fluid.

This procedure yields a 95% success rate and helps to retrieve more water.
