How To Choose a the Best Well Driller in Whonnock

We Remove the Risk of Water Well Drilling in Whonnock with Our Well Drilling Guarantee



​Through-out the hot summer months of any given year - water wells in Whonnock can run completely dry.  A dry well may have been preventable had the initial workmanship been performed to a professional standard.  When drilling a well or installing water well pump in Whonnock you want everything to be done to your expectation the FIRST time!

Sub-standard well drilling will frequently go along with low-bidding and drilling practices that may not live up to most property owner’s expectations when they choose to contract with a low-bidding well driller.

Many property owners might only drill one well in a lifetime and are generally not aware of how the water well drilling industry operates, making it easy to fall prey to well drilling operators who may not full-fill expectation.

The end-results can be discouraging at best with water well problems such as water quality, possible contamination issues often resulting from a leaking casing, and even low-yielding wells that just might have been prevented by a highly skilled journeyman water well driller and proper site selection.
 
Designing Water Wells to Last
 

These are just a few of the water well problems that can greatly reduce the enjoyment and benefits that a top-quality drilled water 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.  Lack of profits often make it difficult for many single owner-operators to survive let alone thrive in the industry.  As guidelines and the BC 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 won't have any often operating alone or as often the case 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 of this lack... this is what cheap bidding will get you.  Well drilling shortcuts, old equipment and poor drilling practices result in projects that become ongoing water well problems in Whonnock.

Understanding Well Drilling Estimates
 

It’s really easy to manipulate water well drilling estimates.  Don't become an inexperienced player in an old game.  Some property owners agree to a well drilling contract completely based on the cheapest bid or the lowest-cost-per-foot to drill a well, this is NOT the way to contract for well drilling in Whonnock.

Reputable well drillers never bid low, they bid fair allowing them the ability to perform a vital service on your property - we're discussing your water source!
 
The water system is a fundamental part of your property, kind of like a life-support system.  If you question that, try living without water for no more than a few days.

If someone in your family were to have a heart-attack would you run around searching for the cheapest low-balling heart surgeon and bargain-basement-life-support-system you can find?  Probably not...  There’s just some things where cheap can get you into a whole lot of trouble - water well drilling is one of them!
 
Sometimes, small neighborhood operators will offer price-cutting quotes just to keep a deteriorating well drilling rig limping along for one more year to the best of it’s ability.  The unsuspecting property owners often fall prey thinking they just made the deal of a lifetime.  I've seen it far to often over the past 25 or more years, as a consultant in the well drilling and groundwater industry.  Often receiving phone calls after the fact... it can certainly be frustrating for property owners, often with little recourse. 

People often ask me... "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 very valuable lesson!
 
Of course, most people would agree that anyone 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 Whonnock 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.  We're extremely professional and want you to feel comfortable knowing that we have your best interest at heart.
 
Cost of Drilling a Well in Whonnock

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 frequently occur.  Expertise is imperative when tackling difficult well drilling situations on local private properties in Whonnock.  There's more involved in drilling a water well than most property owners ever realize, it requires highly maintained and fully equipped well drilling machinery along with a team of experienced and organized professionals.
 
When a well driller or his equipment is not competent, water well construction problems may be concealed or not even discussed during the drilling and installation process.  If any water well issues were not brought to your attention during the well drilling process, you can be sure that they are not going to be brought up upon invoicing either.

In the event that water well repairs in Whonnock are eventually required, it will be costly at best to do the water well repairs if even possible.

It would not be unusual for unsuspecting water well owners to consume contaminated water for years prior to discovering they’ve had an ongoing water contamination issue with their well. Do you remember Walkerton 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 water well 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.

Question: If that can happen to a community water well what do you think is possible for local water wells drilled on private properties that have not had their surface seals and casings properly secured to prevent land-use or subsurface-contamination from entering the water well?  Is that worth saving a few bucks a foot?

My best water well drilling advice to you is this...  go find other places to cut corners don’t do it with the construction of a new local water well.
 
Some of the older well drilling rigs are not operating with up-to-date equipment or properly maintained, often leaking excessive hydraulic fluids that can 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 not a good situation, drill rig maintenance is of utmost importance.
 
With 25-years of groundwater consulting in British Columbia I've noticed that a water well owner may find it difficult if not completely impossible to get their under-financed, low-end operator to even return a phone call - let alone warranty any water well problems that were created when the well was drilled.
 
There's a tremendous upside to water well drilling and there’s some fantastic drillers out there, some of these completed water wells are spectacular, but the goal of this article is to make you 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.

Whonnock Cost to Drill A Well - Water System Diagram
Water Well Efficiency

With any drilling method in Whonnock, 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 Whonnock 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 Whonnock 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 Whonnock 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.
