How Water Well Drilling Works

The first steps are a conversation about your property and what you need the well to do, a review of the site, and getting the paperwork in order. Once we understand your project, we plan the approach that's right for your specific parcel — depth, location on the property, and the equipment the finished well will need.

Depth varies widely depending on where you are and what the property needs. A well in one part of the Antelope Valley can be meaningfully different from a well in the High Desert or the Santa Clarita Valley. We plan your well's depth based on what your specific property calls for.

A drilling rig is purpose-built equipment that cuts a borehole down to water-bearing ground, with steel casing installed as it goes. That's the part the client sees. How we run the rig — the equipment decisions, the adjustments we make as we go — is our job to handle, and it's part of what you're hiring us for.

It varies by property. Some properties hit dependable water at modest depths; others require going considerably deeper. That's why we plan every well based on the specific parcel rather than a standard depth.

You don't need to be on-site the whole time, but we do want to meet with you up front to walk the property and confirm the plan. Once the project is underway, we keep you informed of progress.

Once the borehole is complete and cased, we finish out the work, clean up the site, and walk you through the paperwork so your project is ready to hand off.
