Maple Ridge Water Well FAQ
Q: Maple Ridge Water Wells and Who Can Drill a Well?
A: Maple Ridge properties with a requirement for water will typically have the right to a domestic water well. Water well drilling permits are not required, and Maple Ridge bylaws and BC Groundwater Regulations must be adhered to.
Please call Maple Ridge Well Drilling for information on your local well drilling regulations and requirements.
Q: How Long Will a Water Well Last in Maple Ridge?
A: Quality drilled water wells in Maple Ridge should last for a very long time with today’s well drilling method and water well construction materials.
A drilled water well could last for up to 100-years in some areas, although this would not be common. There are many variables to consider, it’s very important to do a good job siting a new water well prior to drilling to yield as much water as possible. If local aquifer conditions change, your local water well will hopefully remain productive.
Q: How Much Work Does It Take to Maintain a Water Well?
A: Very little water well maintenance is required, we suggest testing your well water annually along with periodic water well disinfection & flushing as required to maintain a clean, healthy well.
Q: How Safe is Groundwater?
A: In Maple Ridge, groundwater has generally been the best choice for a more stable, safer, and cleaner water resource on most local properties. Maple Ridge Well Drilling is the local well drilling specialist in the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge areas, and we are very familiar with the local aquifers.
Surface water resources such as rivers, dugouts, and many shallow dug wells; require much more maintenance. Treatment of well water often requires chlorination or UV sterilization for bacteria, parasites, etc.
A drilled water well is sealed and protected, so it’s typically more difficult to introduce bacteria as easily as other sources of water.
Q: How to Hire Well Drilling Company
A: Work with a local well drilling company that has a proven track-record in the area and has been in the local well drilling business for a long time. Maple Ridge Well Drilling does the bulk of the new well installation in Maple Ridge because of our reputation.
Maple Ridge Well Drilling makes sure all our well drilling contractors have a safety program, insurance, and workers compensation coverage for their employees, with a highly proven success rate of quality drill wells in their history.
Q: What Services are Provided After my Well is Drilled
A: Maple Ridge Well Drilling provides a broad scope of water well services that may be required to get your water well operating, such as well pumps, water storage tanks, water treatment, & water well testing. We have our own in-house pumping installation team, and Jason has almost 40 years of full time experience in the industry. Our clients love him!
Q: If My Water Well Stops Operating What Should I Do?
A: Turn off the well pump breaker at your breaker panel and call Maple Ridge Well Drilling as soon as possible, we will send out a local water well service technician quickly.
Q: What is Rotary Air Drilling?
A: Rotary air drilling is just what it says. We drill using a large compressor to clean out the borehole. This is the cleanest and preferred modern well drilling method used today in the well drilling industry.
Q: What is the Cost to Drill a Well in Maple Ridge?
A: The estimated well drilling cost in Maple Ridge and the local area is dictated by location, geography, method of drilling & water well construction materials.
Local well drilling experience is vital to successfully complete drilled water wells in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Haney, Albion, Iron Mountain, Kanaka Creek, Port Hammond, Ruskin, Whonnock, Silver Valley & Webster Corners. Expert well development and craftsmanship is required for long-lasting wells and managing the cost of well drilling.
Our goal is always to avoid drilling excessively deep whenever possible, eliminating water well problems such as saltwater intrusion that may occur in some areas of the Fraser Valley.
Drilling excessively deep not only increases the over-all well drilling cost in Maple Ridge but the risk of saltwater intrusion may also greatly increase in some areas.

Well Drilling in Maple Ridge
Maple Ridge Water Well Efficiency
With any water well drilling method in Maple Ridge the permeability of the formation around the bore-hole is reduced.
Here's an example, with the cable tool method of drilling for water, compaction and clay-smearing occurs. With the wet rotary drilling method, fluid infiltrates the aquifer and when reverse circulation is used, water that is loaded down with fines can often obstruct the formation as a vacuum effect occurs around the drill bit.
Water Well Development
Water well development in the Maple Ridge area is demanding and vital for superior water well completion to maximize the efficiency of a well by rehabilitating the aquifer after the disruption caused by the drilling and water well installation process.
Fine-particles surrounding a well-screen must be removed from the area to increase the permeability of the aquifer, with the use of air and our unique surge methods at Maple Ridge Well Drilling we greatly enhance our water well development process! It's worth taking a little extra time to do RIGHT!
Water Well Screen Design & Selection
Maple Ridge Well Drilling understands the importance of water well-screen design, careful selection of a well screen is, without doubt, the most important consideration when constructing an efficient water well. A properly selected well-screen is designed to serve two basic purposes: to allow the un-obstructed entry of clean water free from sediment into the well, and to permit a maximum flow to the formation for water well development procedures.

Water Well Set-back Regulations for Maple Ridge Area
In Maple Ridge Water Wells Should Not Be:
1) Within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10') of an existing building.
2) Within a horizontal distance of 30 m (100') of any probable source of contamination or point of waste discharge to the ground, such as a privy vault, cesspool, septic effluent field, manure heap, stable or pig sty; or
3) Within a horizontal distance of 120 m (400') of any cemetery or dumping ground.
Not all water wells are drilled deep in Maple Ridge, in fact many wells will be far less than 200' deep. If a water well is located near potential sources of contamination it is vulnerable and can become contaminated with the possibly of causing serious illness or even death.
British Columbia Water Well Regulations and the Ministry of Environment set-backs for water well in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge are required to protect water resources from becoming contaminated from a multitude of possible sources.
To understand comparable well drilling depths in Maple Ridge, it's best to locate the Ministry of Environment set-backs and refer to your local resources including well drilling reports, resources are available at BC Water Well Search and local community bylaw offices.
Possible sources of well contamination include waste discharge to the ground, such as privy vaults (also known as an outhouse or pit toilet), cesspool (“overflow” pits), underground storage tanks, septic tanks an effluent field, stable or pig sty, manure heap, fertilizers and pesticides, runoff from urban areas, even a cemetery or landfill sites.
A water well drilled the Maple Ridge, Whonnock or any of the surrounding communities should be located on higher ground when possible to protect the well head from normal or seasonal flooding and possible surface drainage.
Both shallow wells and deep water wells located anywhere in the Fraser Valley can become vulnerable and should always be located away from surface drainage-ditches and other possible problems and sources of contamination.
