Your First Step

Our Consultation Process

At Ellis Well Drilling, your water well journey begins with an on-site consultation to discuss your needs, where we review your terrain, ensure equipment access, and advise on any preparation work required before drilling starts. We then set an appointment and manage the entire project—from borehole drilling to pump installation, recommending a submersible pump placed in the well, with your pressure tank housed in a pump house or shed with power. Once installed, your well is ready to use; we suggest waiting two weeks of regular use before testing the water at a local lab or health board for a full analysis, and if treatment is needed, we’ll connect you with a trusted filtration company. Our all-terrain mats protect lawns and wet areas during access, ensuring a smooth, damage-free process.

Our Proven Well Drilling Process

At Ellis Well Drilling, we follow a streamlined process to deliver reliable water wells with over 50 years of expertise.

01

On-Site Consultation

We start with a visit to your property to discuss your water needs and assess the terrain. Our team ensures our equipment can access the site and advises on any necessary preparations.

02

Site Preparation & Planning

After reviewing your location, we plan the drilling, confirming the best spot for water and scheduling the work. Minimal adjustments, like removing a wall section, may be recommended if access is tight.

03

Drilling & Construction

Using rotary or Odex methods, we drill your well, lining it with steel and PVC to EPA standards. This step, typically completed in a day for domestic wells, ensures a durable, contamination-free supply.

04

Pump Installation & Finishing

We install a submersible pump and seal the wellhead to protect your water source long-term. You’re ready to enjoy a reliable supply, with advice on testing and maintenance provided.
