Bowen Island Well Drilling FAQ
What are the risks of drilling a dry well on Bowen Island?
- Drilling a dry well is always a risk, potentially leading to a large financial loss for the property owner. There is a lot of bedrock drilling on the island and it's not always possible to hit water anywhere or get enough water.
We believe that random drilling is not always an effective strategy for water well drilling. Often, dry holes can be avoided. Since the cost of drilling for water accumulates with each foot drilled, it's crucial for property owners to find water as quickly as possible to minimize expenses and avoid It's important to learn more about site selection prior to drilling for water on your Bowen Island property.
Dry Wells and Deep Pockets: "Dry Hole" are two of the most dreaded words in British Columbia

How many dry holes do we drill a year?
Many property owners on Bowen Island reach out to our office inquiring about the cost of drilling a well, often with a keen interest in the price per foot. It's crucial to understand that a drilling estimate is exactly that—an estimate.
Some companies present well-crafted drilling estimates in a way that seems incredibly cost-effective or cheaper, but be wary of those that appear too good to be true. I must emphasize that encountering a dry well can be an expensive setback. Rather than solely focusing on the lowest drilling costs, it's important to prioritize finding a reliable water source.
Generally, the drilling rates offered by most companies across British Columbia are comparable and bear no relation to the likelihood of hitting water. Drilling two or three dry wells on a property is not cost-effective; it’s as sensible as digging for gold in a parking lot! A significant amount of money is spent on dry-hole drilling in British Columbia.
A more significant factor to consider is the rate of drilling unsuccessful wells in any given area, or "dry holes." That's why, on Bowen Island, we drill exclusively on properties that have been evaluated and pinned.
Wondering about our dry hole rate over the past year in the Fraser Valley, Metro Vancouver, and Bowen Island? We can proudly report zero occurrences.
Drilling a dry well can be a significant emotional and financial setback for property owners. Here's how they might feel under such circumstances:
- Frustration: After investing in the water well drilling process on Bowen Island, finding no water can be intensely frustrating, especially when water is crucial for the property's intended use.
- Financial Strain: The cost of drilling a well can be substantial, and paying a hefty invoice for a dry well adds to the economic burden because it provides no immediate benefit.

- Stress: The uncertainty and potential need to seek alternative water sources or additional drilling can be stressful, adding to the overall strain of managing a property.
- Helplessness: Property owners might feel helpless or cheated, especially when they diligently follow expert advice by hiring reputable well drillers.
