Question 1

How will you pick the best location to drill a well on my property?

Accepted Answer

"Well location depends on many factors. Usually, property setbacks limit us to a drilling location that can accommodate all the equipment that’s necessary to construct a well. We also consider the proximity to utilities in an attempt to reduce the installation cost of the pumping system. On a larger parcel, our years of experience help us determine the location that has the highest probability of finding water by looking back on other wells we’ve constructed in that area."

Question 2

How familiar are you with the water formations in my area?

Accepted Answer

"We’ve been drilling water wells in Napa since the 1940s, so we have all the necessary knowledge to determine well completion depths and potential yield based on other wells in the area."

Question 3

Can you drill, install and maintain my water system?

Accepted Answer

"Yes, we pride ourselves on being a one-stop shop for water systems. We handle everything from the initial site meeting to the final installation. We also offer 24-hour water system service and well remediation such as cleaning and relining."

Question 4

What should I expect when you drill my water well?

Accepted Answer

"Drilling a well can be a loud, messy process that generally lasts five to seven days. It takes a large drilling rig, several pieces of equipment, and support vehicles onsite to handle fluids and cuttings. Once the well is complete, we’ll clean up the site with an emphasis on minimal disturbance of the property."

Question 5

Can you customize my water system to meet my needs?

Accepted Answer

"Yes. No two water systems get used exactly the same way. Our many years of experience have provided us with a wide range of abilities to dial systems so they function the way our clients desire."

Question 6

What’s the difference between a conventional water system and a constant pressure system?

Accepted Answer

"A conventional water system requires control valves and, often, multiple pressure tanks. A constant pressure system fits into a much smaller footprint and maintains a system pressure with just a few pounds of fluctuation. Over the last 10 to 15 years, constant pressure systems have become the preferred system for the majority of our clients."

Question 7

How do I maintain my water system?

Accepted Answer

"Water systems require very little maintenance. Often, the treatment equipment takes the most attention. Manufacturers of pressure tanks recommend checking the air charge on an annual basis. Storage tanks should be drained and cleaned every three to five years, depending on water quality. A water potability sample should also be drawn every few years to make sure the well is healthy."

Question 8

How long do water system components normally last?

Accepted Answer

"On average, most large components of a water system, like pumps and motors, last 10 to 12 years, but many last much longer than that."
