How do I know if I need a new well?

Why Hiring a Licensed Contractor Matters
What Is Well Drilling and Why Does It Matter?
Well drilling is the process of accessing underground water sources, often hundreds of feet below the surface, to provide clean, natural water to homes, farms, and businesses. It’s one of the most efficient and sustainable methods of water delivery, particularly in rural areas where access to city water is limited.
The Layers We Drill Through:
A Look Underground
In Central Florida, well drilling typically involves navigating through:
Topsoil and Sand – This upper layer is loose and can contain organic matter.
Clay and Limestone – These harder layers require heavy-duty drilling and can influence water flow.
Aquifers – Water-bearing rock and sand formations where clean water is drawn from.
The depth of your well determines both the quality and quantity of water available.
Even clean groundwater can contain natural minerals like iron, sulfur, or calcium. A custom-designed treatment system ensures your water not only flows but is healthy, clear, and safe for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
