How To Choose a Water Well Driller
Throughout the hot summer months of any given year in the Maple Ridge are and the Fraser Valley – there will be plenty of local water wells that run dry, many were marginal at best to begin with. A dry well may have been preventable had the initial workmanship been performed at least to the industry standard. While drilling a water well and installing a new well pump in Maple Ridge you absolutely should expect the job to be properly completed the FIRST time around!
Sub-standard well drilling frequently go hand-in-hand with low bidding and often well drilling practices that may not live up to most property owner’s expectations when they choose to contract with a low bidding well driller.
Most property owner’s typically drill only one water well during their lifetime it ever at all and typically are not aware of how the water well drilling industry really operates, making it easy for them to fall prey to well drilling operators who may not always be willing to protect the best interests of a client.
One a well is drilled the final results can be discouraging at best with ongoing water well problems such as water quality, possible contamination issues that may often be the result of a leaking casing or other issues. Low-yielding wells may have even been prevented by a highly skilled well driller and the use of proper site selection as part of the well drilling process.
Drilling Water Wells That Last
These are a few of the water well problems that can reduce the enjoyment and benefits that a quality drilled water well should provide to a property. At the end of a project most people agree that substandard well drilling is very COSTLY, often causing disruption and inconvenience for many water well owners.
The water well drilling industry is a difficult and costly business to operate profitably. Lack of profits can make it difficult for many single owner-operators well drillers to survive let alone thrive in the industry. As guidelines and the British Columbia Well Drilling Regulations do improve, drilling skills, mindset and equipment in the well drilling industry often don’t.
If a well driller lacks the ability to pay skilled labor, he will often be operating alone or as often operating without adequate finances. It’s the local property owners who need to drill a well that most commonly end-up paying the price for all this lack... this is what cheap-bidding will actually get you. Well drilling shortcuts, old equipment and poor drilling practices can result in projects that become ongoing water well problems anywhere in the Fraser Valley.
Understanding Well Drilling Quotes
It’s not difficult to manipulate water well drilling estimates. Don't become an inexperienced player in an old game. Many local property owners may accept a well drilling contract purely based on the cheapest bid or the lowest-cost-per-foot to drill a well, this is NOT the best way to contract for well drilling in Maple Ridge.
Reputable well drillers generally will never bid low, it would be very unlikely. Good drillers are in high demand and they do not bastardize their own industry. They provide estimates that are fair but provides them with the ability to perform a vital service on your property - we're discussing your water source!
A water well system is a fundamental part of a property, sort-of-like a life support system, definitely a necessity. If there is any question, try living on your without water for a few days.
If someone in your family suddenly had a heart-attack would you run around searching for the cheapest low-balling heart-surgeon and bargain-basement life support system you could find? Not likely... at times cheap will get you nothing more than trouble - well drilling fits in that category!
Sometimes, small local well drillers will offer price-cutting drilling quotes as a necessity to keep a deteriorating well drilling rig limping along for one more year to the best of it’s ability. Unsuspecting property owners fall prey thinking they just made the deal of a lifetime. I've seen often over the past 25 or more years, as a consultant in the well drilling and groundwater industry. Often receiving the phone calls after the fact... it can certainly be frustrating for property owners, often with little recourse.
People often ask... "Can I sue?" Generally, my advice is to - not through good money after bad... suck up your losses, drill another well and hopefully learn a valuable lesson!
Of course, most would agree that people should have the freedom to do business and earn a living in their given marketplace, but should that be the case if it's possibly a detriment to the customer or even worse - public health? When it comes to well drilling many property owners come to regret not making a wiser and more informed decision prior to hiring a water well driller.
For this reason, Maple Ridge Well Drilling always sends a top journeyman well driller to meet and consult with you on your property prior to finalizing a well drilling contract with us. We are extremely professional and want you to feel comfortable knowing that we have your best interest at heart.
Well Drilling Cost Maple Ridge
When I first entered the well drilling industry one of my wise mentors told me, "these rigs don't run on love!"
Because of the high cost of operating a well drilling company, some operators lack the ability and the equipment to manage even some of the basic well drilling problems that commonly occur.
Lots of experience is needed when tackling sometimes difficult well drilling problems in Maple Ridge. There's more involved in drilling a water well than most people understand, requiring highly-maintained and fully equipped well drilling equipment along with an experienced and organized team of professionals.
When a well driller or his drilling equipment is not competent, well drilling problems may be concealed and never discussed during the process of drilling a well in Maple Ridge. If well drilling issues are not brought to your attention during the time of drilling, you can be sure that they're not going to be brought to your attention upon invoicing either.
In the event that water well repairs in Maple Ridge are eventually required, they will be costly at best - if the water well repair is even possible. Often it's better to just start over with a new well that to repair a water well.
Do You Remember Walkerton?
It would not be unusual for un-suspecting water well owners to consume contaminated water for years prior to discovering they’ve had an ongoing water contamination issue with their well. Most remember the Walkerton water well and the unspeakable severity that contaminated water caused in that community? The scope of such negligence was horrendous, it should've never occurred and was preventable.
The Walkerton contamination tragedy occurred because heavy rains washed manure into a community well in Walkerton, Ontario, there may have also been a cross contamination issue with another old well.
Community water wells typically have all the bells-and-whistles along with multiple-barriers in place to protect the water source whereas local private wells are not nearly as equipped so the value pf quality workmanship should not questioned!
Question: If this can happen to a community water well source, what do you think is possible for a water well drilled on local private properties that have not had surface seals and casings properly installed to prevent land-use or subsurface-contamination from entering the water well? Is that worth saving a few bucks to you?
My best water well drilling advice is this... go find other places to cut corners but don’t do it with the construction of a new local water well. Even if you are not drilling for yourself think of those who may be at risk!
Often older well-drilling-rigs are operating with out of date equipment and not well maintained, often leaking excessive hydraulic fluids onto the ground that may rapidly contaminate a well drilling site or even the water well itself. When a hydraulic-line blows as the rig is sitting over your open wellhead - it’s just not a good situation, equipment maintenance is of utmost importance.
With 25-years of groundwater consulting in BC I've learned that a water well owner may find it difficult if not flippen impossible to get a under-financed, low-end well driller to even return a phone call - let alone warranty any water well problems that were created by them when they drilled the well. This leaves people feeling vulnerable and very frustrated.
There's can also be a tremendous upside to a drilled water well on a Maple Ridge property and there’s some fantastic drillers out there, some of these completed water wells are awesome, but the goal of this article is to make people fully aware, regardless of where you reside. Be careful when contracting to drill a well, ask for the history of the well drilling company, the well driller, and drilling team.
We are always happy to provide anyone with our credentials! For quality premium well drilling and water well pumps in Maple Ridge give us a call!

Water Well Efficiency
With any well drilling method in Maple Ridge, the permeability of the formation around the borehole is reduced. For example, in the cable-tool method, compaction and clay smearing occur. With wet-rotary drilling, fluid infiltrates the aquifer and when reverse circulation is used, water laden with fines often obstructs the formation as a vacuum effect occurs around the bit.
Water Well Development
Water well development in Maple Ridge is demanding and critical to any quality water well completion to maximize the efficiency of the well by rehabilitating the aquifer after the disruption of the water well drilling and installation process.
Fine particles surrounding the well screen must be removed from the area to increase the permeability of the aquifer, the use of air and our unique surge methods at Whonnock Water Well Drilling greatly enhance our water well development procedures!
Well Screen Design and Selection
Well Drilling Maple Ridge understand the importance of water well screen design, the careful selection of a well screen is, without doubt, the most important consideration in producing an efficient water well. A properly selected well screen will be designed to serve two basic purposes: to permit unobstructed entry of clean water free from sediment into the well, and to permit a maximum flow to the formation for development procedures.
Water Well Drilling Maple Ridge is committed to increasing the amount of water well education reaching the reaching the communities that we serve. We are about to launch the weekly Fraser Valley Water Well Broadcast.
We also recommend reading the Complete Well Drilling Guide published by Colleen Roberts.
