The first step in the drilling process is to contact Sam's Well Drilling by email or phone at the number listed below:

The next step is to determine the location of the well. Locating the well is not a difficult process but there are a few items that must be considered. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has established minimum separation distances between private wells and septic tanks, drain fields, sewer laterals and other sources of possible contamination. Overhead, underground utilities and trees can affect well location. Other concerns that enter into the drilling process are the dimensions of the actual drill rig and support vehicles. Our drilling equipment is very large in scale and on-site mobility is sometimes limited, so access to the actual drill site is also a major concern.

After drilling location has been determined, a site specific drill rig is dispatched depending on the geological formations encountered in the area.

The actual drilling operation consists of drilling and installing well casing.

Next the cementing or grouting of the casing takes place to seal the casing into the bedrock and protect it.

Once the adequate depth that will provide you with the required amount of quality water is achieved, the well will be developed to remove all drilling material from the well.

Once the well is developed a water sample will be taken and sent in to the lab for testing. The test results will be forwarded to the owner.

After the water sample has been obtained, a vermin proof well cap will be installed on the well. the finished well will consist of six inch casing that extends above ground approximately 12-18 inches.
