The Secrets To A Successful Well Drilling

By Kate McMahon


In order not to lessen consumption from public water districts, well drilling Maine has helped a lot of citizens by just availing of the ground supply. A lot of considerations would have to be made in planning its installation. These tips will guide along the process.

The first thing that must be considered is the cost as well as the advantages of having it compared to just piping water. This endeavor would initially cost high than connecting to the public supply and there is also a risk there that might not be enough supply. However, in some circumstances connecting to a water district would take a long time which makes having this the only viable option.

The next step that has to be done is to plan the location which must be specifically delineated in the property. Ideally, it should be situated twenty to one hundred feet away of the place where it would be mainly used because further than that would be much costly because the pipes would have to be bigger. The location must not also be under large trees directly and stay away from buried electric lines.

There are maybe previous systems that have been installed on the area but only abandoned for a period and finding where they are located is critical. Ensure that they have been plugged properly in order to prevent opening of pipelines that might result to disaster. Geological surveys might have records about this and be sure to ask about the availability of water and also the depth.

The consultations should start with asking people who live nearby for the condition of the previous water supply. Topographic or geologic maps would also tell about general locations of aquifers to help in plotting. A professional consultant maybe able to provide more detailed knowledge about the work.

After agreeing on matters such as the terms of the contract is also necessary to agree on the date that the work should begin. Generally, the project is not affected by winter however in cases of extreme weather, the construction might be delayed. There are also other factors that can affect like the number of projects on queue with the contractor.

If the work is already started be sure that the hole that is being drilled as far from anything that could contaminate which might be animal feedlots or a septic tank. Check if the contractor is using the appropriate method of constructing the project. In most cases where the area has adequate surface supply, there is no more need to dig a deeper hole.

Once the hole has been made, then a steel casing would be inserted which prevents the leaking and contamination of the water from the soil. A pressure tank with a pump will also have to be buried for the water to be brought up to the surface for usage. These kind of system must also be installed in such a way that it is kept from freezing.

In doing well drilling Maine, most citizens prefer a reputable company or agency to do the job for them. The work is really a technical one and is not ordinarily done. Safety should also be considered since if it is not properly installed open pipelines might cause disaster.
