Water Well Drilling

Need a new well? Call Quality Water Systems at 1-800-332-9462.

A new well is a big decision, and most homeowners only go through it once. Maybe your old well is running dry or giving you trouble that can't be fixed. Maybe you're building on land with no water service. Either way, you want it done right the first time, and you want someone to explain each step in plain words.

Quality Water Systems has been taking care of home water systems since 1975. For a new well, we act as your single point of contact. We take care of the whole project, from planning the well to the finished system. That includes everything that turns a hole in the ground into dependable water at your faucet: the pump, the pressure tank, the wiring and controls, the line into your home, and water treatment if your water needs it.

Signs you may need a new or replacement well

• Your well keeps running low or dry, especially in late summer or when the household uses a lot of water.
• Repairs keep coming back. You've replaced parts, cleaned the well, and the problems return.
• Sand or sediment won't go away, even after the pump and filters have been checked.
• The well is old or damaged, for example a cracked casing or a well cap that has been hit or buried.
• You're building a new home on property with no public water.
• Your household has grown and the well can't keep up.

Not every problem means a new well. Often the fix is a pump repair, a pressure tank, well cleaning or water treatment. We'll look at those first and tell you honestly if a new well is really the answer.

What to expect, step by step

Every property is different, but a new well project generally goes like this:

1. A conversation and a visit. We ask how much water your home uses, look at the property and the existing well (if there is one), and talk about your goals and budget.
2. Planning the location. Where a well can go depends on the property, setback rules and access for the drilling equipment. We help you understand the options.
3. Permits. In Ohio, a new private water well needs a permit, usually through the local health department. Quality Water Systems takes care of the permit for you.
4. Drilling. The well is drilled and cased. We keep you updated so you're never left guessing.
5. Pump, tank and connection. Quality Water Systems installs the pump and pressure tank, sets up the controls and connects the well to your home.
6. Testing the water. We recommend testing the water from a new well so you know what's in it before you decide on any treatment. We come out and test for pH, iron, hardness and total dissolved solids (TDS).
7. Walk-through. Before we leave, we show you where everything is, how it works, and what to keep an eye on.

Why use one company for the whole job

When a well, the pump and the water treatment are handled by different companies, homeowners can get stuck in the middle when something doesn't work. With Quality Water Systems handling the project, you have one number to call, one company that knows your system, and someone who will be there for service in the years after the well is in.

What about cost?

The cost of a new well depends on how deep the well has to go, the ground conditions, the pump and tank needed, and how far the well is from the house. Nobody can give an honest number without looking at the property first. We'll walk you through what drives the price and give you a written estimate before work starts.

Frequently asked questions

Who takes care of a new well project?

Quality Water Systems takes care of your new well from start to finish, including the pump, pressure tank, controls, the line to your home and water treatment. You have one company to call from start to finish.

How do I know if I need a new well or just a repair?

Many well problems can be fixed with a pump repair, a pressure tank, well cleaning or water treatment. A new well usually makes sense when the well keeps running dry, is damaged, or repairs keep failing. We check the simpler fixes first and explain what we find.

Do I need a permit for a new well?

Yes. In Ohio a new private water well needs a permit, usually through your local health department. Rules in Pennsylvania and West Virginia differ. We'll explain what applies to your property.

How much does a new well cost?

It depends on depth, ground conditions, the pump and tank, and the distance to your home. We look at the property and give you a written estimate before any work starts.

Should I test the water from a new well?

We recommend it. A water test tells you what's in your water so you can decide whether you need any treatment. We can explain the results in plain language.
