Having A Water Well Provides A Freshwater Source
Water wells have been around for decades, but they have evolved since first being introduced. Advanced installation techniques also help prevent the fresh water from becoming contaminated.
A water well drilling rig will be hauled to the property on a tractor-trailer or large truck where it will be set up at the designated location of the well installation.
Some machines use a rotary drill to dig a borehole into the ground, while others use a cable drilling method to break through the soil. In either case, the drill bit will turn in a clockwise direction and transport rock and soil to the surface as it continues drilling deeper to find the water source.
As the hole is being dug or once it’s completed, the well drilling rig will install a steel or plastic pipe casing around the hole to provide reinforcement and prevent it from caving in.
This lining will also restrict contaminants from infiltrating the water supply. The next step is to fill the gap between the wall of the well and the casing with gravel and cement materials. This is another method to safeguard the water below from being contaminated by pollutants.

To understand more about water wells, 2S Well Drilling offers some insight into the crucial facts you should know:
1. Lets You Access Groundwater
Groundwater is located far below the earth’s surface, filling up cracks between rocks and sediment. It can be used for cleaning, laundry, drinking, and other tasks around your home. However, accessing it can be a bit of a problem. That’s where well drilling services come in. Our team will dig down deep into the land to reach those sources and bring them up to the surface.
2. Requires Multiple Pieces of Equipment
Rigs, or drills, are required to dig down deep into the earth. Then, electric pumps are strategically placed to bring the groundwater back up to the surface. Building a solid structure around the pump is essential for its safety and testing it to ensure the safest water supply for consumption or other uses.
Benefits Your Property
A personal well on the property helps save on monthly bills from the local municipality, as well as any potential restrictions the municipality might implement on usage, like in the case of a drought.
