FAQs
Why is proper well site selection important?
A poorly placed well can lead to low water yield, contamination risks, or even a dry well. We evaluate your property to identify a location with the maximum potential for strong groundwater flow, minimal contamination risk, and a sustainable long-term water supply.
How does Hydro/Geo Explorations find the best drilling site?
We use a combination of geological expertise and advanced technology to locate the most productive drilling site for your well. By analyzing geological formations, reviewing historical well data, and conducting on-site hydrogeological surveys, we can determine where groundwater is most abundant. We also use geophysical methods like electrical resistivity testing to map underground water sources and identify the best depth for drilling.
Can you help me avoid a dry well?
Yes! Before drilling, we analyze the subsurface conditions to locate the best groundwater sources. This reduces the risk of drilling in a low-yield or dry zone, saving you time and money.
What happens if I drill without a proper site assessment?
Without a professional assessment, you risk drilling into dry or low-yield formations, leading to expensive redrilling or unreliable water supply. Some wells may also become contaminated over time if placed too close to septic systems, agricultural runoff, or industrial zones. A thorough evaluation ensures you make a well-informed decision before drilling.
How deep will my well need to be?
Depth varies based on groundwater availability. Our assessments provide data-driven depth estimates, helping drillers avoid unnecessary costs.
Can you help if I already drilled a well, but the water yield is low?
Yes! If your well isn’t producing enough water, we can perform a detailed evaluation to determine the cause. Using advanced tools, including downhole camera inspections, we can assess the well’s condition, check for blockages, casing issues, or structural damage. Additionally, we analyze groundwater flow and surrounding geology to determine if deepening the well, hydrofracking, or selecting a new drilling location would be the best solution.
