Drilling a well is a one-time decision with a thirty-year consequence. For a lot in Gray, we look at where the well goes, how deep it needs to be, how it is cased and which pump and tank are paired with it.
Water Well Drilling for Gray homes
Gray sits at a busy crossroads north of Portland, with village streets, lakes and a lot of hill country around the edges. Neighborhoods built in different decades have different pump, tank and well-depth histories, even a short distance apart.
Gorham, Standish, Freeport and New Gloucester surround the town, and the Norway area is a little farther northwest. People moving to Gray for the commute often arrive with no water history, so a full first test is a good starting point.
What we see in Cumberland County wells
Inland drilling in Cumberland County usually means a bedrock well. In Gray, 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 Gray
- Bacteria and nitrate on the new well before first use
- 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
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
We install the pump, tank and controls, connect the line to the house and disinfect the new well. A water sample then goes to the lab.
What shapes the job in Gray
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 building lot with no water supply
- 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
A new well in Gray starts with a conversation about your lot and your needs. Call, and we will set up a time.
