Yes, South Carolina requires a permit before any well is drilled, and the work has to be done by a licensed well driller. We take care of the permit process and inspections so you don't have to worry about it.

Wells in this part of the Upstate often reach 200 to 400 feet because the ground here is mostly granite rock rather than soft soil. We look at wells drilled nearby to give you a solid depth estimate before we start.

A submersible pump sits down inside the well and pushes water up to the surface, which works well for deeper wells. A jet pump stays above ground and pulls water up, making it a better fit for shallower wells.

Low pressure is usually caused by a worn out pressure tank, a bad pressure switch, or a pump that has lost its prime. We check each part so we can fix the actual problem instead of just guessing.

Groundwater in this area often picks up iron and manganese from the rock and soil it passes through. These minerals cause staining and an odd taste even when the water is otherwise safe to drink.

It's a good idea to test your water once a year for bacteria and other contaminants, and again anytime you notice a change in taste, smell, or color. We can run a full test during a regular service visit.

Our team has 40 years of combined experience drilling wells and repairing pumps in this part of South Carolina, so we understand the local ground conditions well.

Granite is common underground throughout this region, and radon can seep into well water from that rock. If your well is in this type of ground, it's worth adding a radon test to your regular water testing.

If your well's water flow has dropped even after pump repairs, the underground water source it taps into may be running low. Drilling deeper can reach a stronger water supply below the current well.

The clay soil common in this area holds water and packs down easily, so grading has to be done carefully to avoid drainage problems. We plan around the soil type on every clearing job to prevent water pooling later.

A regular tank turns the pump on and off as pressure changes, which can cause noticeable ups and downs at the faucet. A constant pressure system adjusts the pump speed continuously, so water pressure stays steady throughout the house.

Booster pumps help when a well doesn't produce much water, a house has multiple floors, or the distance between the well and the house causes pressure to drop. We measure your water flow before recommending one.
