Drilled Wells: What are they, and how do you go about getting one?

A drilled well consists of a hole bored or drilled through surface sand and gravel, through layers of clay, until the water bearing formation is encountered and adequate water has been reached. When talking about adequate water supply for your needs, it can be difficult to determine how much is enough. Generally, “enough” water means sufficient quantity to meet the needs of everyday use, such as water for drinking, cooking, and plumbing, as well as seasonal use like lawn irrigation in the summertime.

If you're interested in purchasing a residential property or if you have already purchased the property and need to get started with the well drilling process, Jensen Well Company can help. Here’s how:

Free consultation 

First, we'll provide a complimentary consultation to determine the best place for a well, if any. While deciding on the best size and location for the well, we work closely with our customers to determine their present and future needs, including how many bathrooms will be in the home, whether a sprinkler system might be installed, etc.

Well drilling 

After determining the customer's needs, the well is drilled by one of our experienced drillers. With more than 60 years of well-drilling experience and firsthand knowledge of the most modern drilling techniques, you can rest assured that your well will provide an ample water supply for your household.

Capabilities determination 

The next step is to test pump the well to determine how many gallons of water it is capable of producing. The average residential well typically produces 4-10 gallons of water per minute, but wells producing one gallon of water per minute might be enough to meet your needs.

System design

Every family's needs are different, so we'll help you decide on the right equipment for your individual water requirements. A system that is too small won't give you the full benefit of your water supply, while a system that's too large will add to your overall costs without increasing your pumping efficiency. We combine our experience in installing modern water systems with stainless steel submersible pumps and high-quality pressure tanks to ensure your access to the best possible water supply.

Ongoing maintenance

Our goal is to install equipment that is worry-free so that you can concentrate on more important manners. All of our installed materials and equipment are covered under a manufacturer's warranty, and new installations come with a standard one-year warranty on the service. With that being said, we will still be here to take care of everything from routine maintenance of your equipment to emergency repair in the case of interruption to your water supply.

With a team of experienced professionals, Jensen Well Company is dedicated to providing quality, economical equipment that will leave you with many years of reliable, efficient services. Please visit our website or call us at (402) 426-2585 if you have any questions or would like to schedule a free consultation.
