Water wells are common, especially in areas without piped water supply from utility companies. However, to have water wells, homeowners or business owners need to have them dug first. People can do this on their own, but the work involved can be risky and time-consuming hence why they should hire a water well company. This review will examine how water well companies drill water wells for residential homes and businesses.
The objective of well drilling is to reach the bedrock. However, to get to the bedrock, water well companies need to drill through the overburden, which includes clay, gravel, sand, boulders, and water.
To drill any area, well companies use rotary drilling machines, which are diesel-powered and typically mounted on trucks. The truck first needs to arrive at the site earmarked for drilling, accompanied by a support truck carrying the piping.
The truck with the rotary drilling machine is leveled, the drilling machine is suspended in the air, and the drill bit is mounted on the machine to commence drilling. The drilling machine sends pipes down, which are secured using collars once they're entirely underground to prevent them from falling. This process is repeated until the rotary drilling machine reaches the bedrock where water is found.
