Water well drilling in North Idaho.

New wells, wells that have given out, and bigger wells for shops and stock. One family outfit, one straight answer on each.

  4. Development, repair and testing
  5. Pumps and hookup

01

New wells.

For new builds and bare land. We walk the lot, check the setbacks from your lines and your septic, pull the logs for the wells around you, and file the state permit. Then we case through the loose ground and drill into rock until the well reaches water worth keeping.

  • Site visit and well-log research
  • IDWR permit filed for you
  • Steel casing through soil and gravel
  • Flow test, gallons a minute on record

02

Well deepening and replacement.

When an old well goes weak in late summer or starts coming up gritty, it may just need to go deeper. Sometimes a new well beside it is the better call. We look at yours and tell you which, and why.

  • Wells that went weak or dry
  • Wells pulling sand or grit
  • Replacement wells beside a failing one
  • A straight call on deepen or replace

03

Commercial and agricultural wells.

Shops, stock water and irrigation. Bigger water needs mean a bigger conversation about yield and water rights, and we walk you through it straight.

A house well in Idaho is usually exempt from a water right up to 13,000 gallons a day and half an acre of irrigation. Past that, we will tell you what the state needs.

04

Well development, repair and testing.

A new well gets developed until it runs clean. An existing well gets an honest look. And every well we finish gets a flow test, so you know the gallons a minute, not a guess.

05

Pumps and hookup, coordinated.

We drill. A pump contractor we trust sets the pump and runs the water to the house. We line it up and keep the two jobs in step, so you are never left with a finished hole and no water at the tap.

Questions

Before you call.

Do I need a permit to drill a well in Idaho?

Yes. Idaho requires a well construction permit before drilling starts, and your driller files it. For a house well we send the state a start card before we begin.

Can you deepen my old well?

Often, yes. Sometimes a new well beside it is the better call. We'll look at it and tell you which, and why.

Do you install pumps?

Mitch drills the well. A pump contractor we trust sets the pump, and we line it up so you are not left finding one yourself.

How long does drilling take?

Once you're on the schedule, most house wells are drilled in days, not weeks. We'll give you a real date when we set it.
