Common Questions
Well Drilling FAQ
How long does it take to drill a new well?
Most residential wells are drilled and operational within 3–7 business days from the start date. Permit processing time varies by county but we handle it all.
How deep will my well be?
Depth depends on your location's geology and water table. In the Midlands of SC, residential wells typically range from 100 to 400+ feet. We assess your specific site before drilling.
How much water will my well produce?
We target a minimum yield suitable for your home's needs. For a typical 3-4 bedroom home we aim for 3–5+ gallons per minute sustainable yield.

Yes — SC DHEC requires a permit for any new well. We pull all required permits as part of our standard service at no additional charge.
