Frequently Asked Questions

How do we know where the water is?

Well… we don't, but in Ontario, we are fortunate to have water everywhere in the central-eastern part of Ontario. Unfortunately, the amount of water we find and the depth is unknown until we hit an aquifer. If our crew doesn’t end up hitting an aquifer, a hydro-frac is the next step to getting water out of your well.

Where should I put my well?

As close to your electrical/utility/plumbing room as possible. To keep the cost of digging the trench from the well to your home to a minimum. There are some setbacks such as the location of your septic, underground hydro, and overhead hydro. We need to be able to it a 36ft, approximately 30-ton drill rig into your property with a high range of 40ft. (sometimes a small temporary service driveway may be needed for the two trucks we have to build your well) sometimes snowplow operators cannot see the well and damage can be done to the plow and well. All these factors can make drilling a well difficult but a free site visit from an experienced driller and salesperson can make these decisions very helpful.
