Water Well Drilling for Alfred homes
Alfred is a small York County town with a historic village, farms, woodlots and quiet country roads, and it is where Atlantic Water Solutions is based. Almost every home depends on a private well, so well water is an everyday topic in the town.
Shapleigh, Limington, Sanford and Waterboro all share a border, and the Saco and Kennebunk areas are a short drive away. Large lots and long driveways mean longer pump runs and water lines, and pressure issues are often a matter of distance and sizing.
What we see in York County wells
Inland drilling in York County usually means a bedrock well. In Alfred, a steel casing is driven through the soil and seated in solid rock, and the open hole below it produces water from fractures. Yield varies from lot to lot.
What we check first in Alfred
- Arsenic, uranium and radon on the bedrock water
- Yield in gallons per minute and recovery after pumping
- Sodium and chloride if the lot is near salt water
How it works
How we handle water well drilling, step by step
- 1
Site visit and planning
We review any nearby well records and your neighbors' experience, if they are willing to share, to set realistic expectations for your Alfred lot.
- 2
Drill and case
Depth is decided in the field. We keep you informed of the water we find and the cost implications of going deeper, so decisions are made together.
- 3
Test the yield
A yield test shows what the well can provide. If it comes up short, we discuss hydrofracturing, a deeper hole or storage as options.
- 4
Equip, sample and treat
The finished well is capped, sealed and protected. We give you the well record and the test results, and we recommend treatment if the water calls for it.
What shapes the job in Alfred
Yield is tested after drilling. We measure how much water the well produces over time, and if it is too low for the house, there are options such as a deeper hole, hydrofracturing or storage. Near the Alfred hills and village, results can vary even between close neighbors.
When a new well makes sense
- A building lot with no water supply
- A well whose casing has failed
- A home converting from seasonal to year-round use
- A well in a flood-prone location
