Whether you are building new, replacing a failing well or adding a second source, drilling in York County takes planning. We talk through site, access, depth and testing so that you know what the finished system will look like.
Water Well Drilling for Arundel homes
Arundel is a mostly rural town inland of Kennebunkport, with wooded lots, small farms and quiet roads between Biddeford and Kennebunk. Inland ground is less affected by salt than the coast, though wells near tidal creeks may still deserve a sodium and chloride check.
Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Biddeford, Lyman and Dayton surround the town, which keeps it close to several service routes. A buyer should ask for the well depth, the pump age and the last bacteria, arsenic and radon results before closing.
What we see in York County wells
Inland drilling in York County usually means a bedrock well. In Arundel, 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 Arundel
- Arsenic, uranium and radon on the bedrock water
- Static water level and well depth for the record
- A repeat panel in the first year, to see how the well settles
How it works
How we handle water well drilling, step by step
- 1
Site visit and planning
We walk the lot, look at access and setbacks and talk about where the house and septic will go. The aim is a well placed for good yield and long-term protection.
- 2
Drill and case
The rig drills through soil and into bedrock, a steel casing is driven and seated in rock, and the open hole is continued to depth. Cuttings are logged as the drill goes down.

Test the yield
After drilling, we measure how much water the well produces and how quickly it recovers. That figure tells us whether the well will meet demand year-round.

Equip, sample and treat
With results in hand, we plan any treatment before the family moves in. Starting with clean, tested water is a lot easier than adding equipment later in York County.
What shapes the job in Arundel
A new well should be tested before anyone drinks from it. Bacteria, nitrate, arsenic, radon and other bedrock tests give a first picture of the water, and any treatment can be planned before the house is occupied.
When a new well makes sense
- A shallow or dug well that has become unreliable
- A house that has outgrown its water supply
- A new subdivision lot without public water
- An old well with no record that may be unsafe
