Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on the depth of the well and the local geology. Shallow wells are generally more affordable than deeper wells. We provide customized estimates based on your property’s conditions.

Low water pressure, reduced flow, or water quality issues can sometimes be fixed through cleaning, rehabilitation (e.g., hydrofracking), or pump replacement. If the well casing is damaged or the water source is no longer reliable, drilling a new well may be the better option.

No. Wells must follow minimum setback requirements from septic systems, livestock areas, and property boundaries as set out by the Ministry of Environment. The site also needs to allow access for drilling equipment. We’ll help you select the safest and most effective location.

A well can last 20 to 50 years or more if properly maintained. Its lifespan depends on water quality, construction, and usage. Regular servicing such as well cleaning and flow testing helps extend its life.

A water well taps into groundwater for drinking, irrigation, or household use. A geothermal well, on the other hand, doesn’t supply water—it circulates fluid underground to exchange heat for heating and cooling systems.

Common signs include weak water pressure, pumps running non-stop, unusual noises, or cloudy and sandy water. These can indicate worn parts or pump failure. We offer a professional inspection to confirm if replacement is needed.

It’s not recommended. Abandoned wells may collapse or allow contaminants to enter the groundwater. The safest option is to have them properly decommissioned.

Production varies depending on the aquifer and soil or rock formations. Some wells are suitable for household needs only, while others deliver higher volumes for irrigation. Flow testing during drilling confirms the well’s capacity.

It’s possible if water levels drop due to drought, overuse, or changes in the aquifer. Many wells can be cleaned, or rehabilitated to restore supply. Proper site selection reduces the risk of a dry well.

Yes. Since water is essential, we offer rapid response for well or pump failures to restore water as quickly as possible.
