If you are preparing to have a well drilled on your property, the first step in the process will be an on-site assessment by your well drilling contractor. They will be evaluating a few different things before they actually start drilling and building your well. Here's a look at what you need to know about this initial preparation process for drilling your home's well.
Well Depth Is An Important Consideration
One of the first things that your well drilling technician is going to consider is the necessary depth of your well. Before they assess your property, the technician will research the other wells in your area. They will evaluate the depth of the wells in the area to gain an idea of how deep your well is likely to have to be. It's important that your well is deep enough because you need to be sure that you're going to get consistent water. Sometimes getting a consistent water supply means having to drill a little deeper than you might have wanted in order to hit a strong-flowing vein in the water table.
Environmental Effects Are Also A Factor
Another thing that your well drilling technician will need to consider as they plan out your drilling process is the environmental effects on the water table. For example, if you live in an area that's prone to severe storms, your well needs to be drilled in a way to account for that excess water flow during those storms.
For those who live in areas that are prone to drought, that's another important consideration when drilling a well. Drought-prone areas need a deeper well to try to maintain water supply when drought conditions are a factor.
Soil Condition Matters
During the property evaluation and consultation, your well drilling contractor will typically also test the condition of your soil. This is important because some areas have rocky soil. Rocks will need to be removed during the drilling process to ensure that your well is structurally sound but also to ensure adequate water flow. Rocks in the soil can actually slow the flow of water through the vein and into your well. Talk with your well technician about the rocks in the soil and their plan to mitigate them if necessary.
These are a few of the things that you can expect from your well drilling process. Talk with a technician today for more help or information on water well drilling services.
