New Well Drilling

298 well drilling contractors list new well drilling among their services.

Drilling a new well means siting the well (checking setback distances from septic systems and property lines), obtaining the local well permit, drilling to a depth that reaches a reliable water-bearing zone, installing casing to keep the borehole from collapsing, and developing the well so it produces clean water at an adequate flow rate. The drilling method used, rotary, cable-tool, or another approach, depends mostly on local geology.

New well drilling is typically needed for new construction without access to municipal water, to replace a well that has gone dry or failed beyond repair, or when a property is being subdivided. Our guides on how well drilling actually works and how the common drilling methods compare go through the process step by step.

Cost is driven mainly by depth and what the drill bit has to pass through; see the cost guide for national average per-foot pricing and the line items a full installation includes.
