It really is what's

UNDERNEATH that counts!

Residential Wells
    Residential wells are wells used for private homes. The well is constructed by drilling with an 8-10'' down hole drill. After drilling through the top layers dirt, clay and broken rock, the drilling will then continue into bedrock approximately 15 feet.  The drill tools are then removed, and steel or heavy wall PVC pipe (casing)) is then installed.  A six inch down hole drill is then re-inserted, inside the casing, into the hole. After lowering to the previously drilled depth, Drilling is then resumed. Drilling continues until water of significance flow is encountered. The tools are then removed from the hole, a well cap is installed. The well is then ready for the installation of the pump.

Public water wells
    Public water wells are drilled in accordance with all Pennslyvania regulations.

Monitoring Wells
    Monitoring wells are available and drilled to your geologist's specifications. Well screening and water tests (done by local labs) are also available.

    Geo-thermal wells are wells drilled to a pre determined depth, usually decided by your heating contractor. After the construction of the well, a closed loop PVC pipe is installed and run to the house. An environment friendly antifreeze solution is then circulated through the pipe. This allows for a heat transfer, the antifreeze solution returns to the temp. of the ground. This is then circulated back to the heating equipment for re-use.

Well Grouting
    After a well is drilled there will be a space between the well casing and the surrounding earth. This space needs to be filled with neat cement to protect contaminates from entering the well. Cement is mixed in a grout machine and pressured pumped, from the bottom outside of the casing. When the cement reaches the surface pumping is stopped and the well is then grouted. Not all Counties in Pennsylvania require a well be grouted.
