Drilling a water well is an investment—understanding the cost factors helps ensure it’s a smart one.

The total cost of drilling a well depends on many variables: depth, soil type, terrain, equipment, and casing materials. Most drillers charge per foot, with deeper wells and complex ground conditions increasing that rate. Soft clay is inexpensive to drill, while boulders or bedrock may require dual rotary rigs, which carry higher costs. Well casing also affects pricing—PVC is cost-effective, while mild steel offers strength but at a premium. After drilling, additional expenses include screens, covers, pumps, and tanks to complete your system. Our team can assess your site and walk you through a transparent, personalized estimate.
