A new well in Brunswick is the foundation of the house's water supply. We drill into bedrock, case the hole through soil, test the yield and equip the well so the system is ready before you move in.
Water Well Drilling for Brunswick homes
Neighborhoods on public water sit next to others on private wells, so one street can have very different water situations. Drilled wells in rock can bring arsenic, uranium and radon, and a lab test is the only way to know which apply to a given lot.
Older houses near town may still run on shallow wells, while newer homes on the outskirts are typically on deeper drilled wells. Freeport and Topsham are close neighbors, and Harpswell and Bath are a short drive away, so service routes through the area run in several directions.
What we see in Cumberland County wells
Coastal drilling has to think about salt as well as yield. Near Brunswick and the Casco Bay side of Midcoast, a Brunswick well can be drilled into bedrock beneath a thin cover of soil, and placement, casing and depth are chosen to reduce the chance of saltwater influence.
What we check first in Brunswick
- Arsenic, uranium and radon on the bedrock water
- Distance from septic systems and other setbacks
- 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
Before the rig arrives, we cover permits, utilities, expected depth and the equipment you will need. A short planning visit avoids surprises later.
- 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.
- 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 Brunswick
Placement balances access, setbacks and yield. The well must be a safe distance from septic systems, away from flood-prone ground and reachable by a rig, and it should be positioned so the line to the house stays short in your Brunswick lot.
When a new well makes sense
- A building lot with no water supply
- A property where the existing well tests poorly
- A new subdivision lot without public water
- An old well with no record that may be unsafe
