Well drillers charge you for every hole they dig on your property. If it turns out to be a dry well or not enough flow, you still have to pay for it along with drilling another hole. An average well costs $18k to $30k (or more) depending on how deep you have to go. With a water survey, we can test multiple locations around your property to help you determine where water is and where it isn’t, saving you from drilling a dry well, or from drilling deeper than necessary if you could chose the right spot.
So basically there are two ways to save money by doing a water survey:
- Avoid having to drill a second hole because the first one was dry or a really low yield (more common).
- Finding the more shallow aquifer can save you from drilling a deeper well in another location.
