Great job
Thank You
a starter question...why you put the perforated PVC all the way , i understand u want water in the pipe, but this only under the bedrock no fear of the pipe above that level will get contamination till the bed rock for example from the Bentonit [as a grout] injected to fill the gap between the wall of the hole and the casing pipe? let me now please rafi4072308721@gmail.com Greetings, Rafael
We only put 10' (on average) of screen on domestic wells. We place solid casing on top of it to the grounds surface.
are you supposoed to cap the very end pipe or leave it open?
All wells should be securely capped. Thanks for watching.
Hello, thanks for the video. Is there a link for the manufacturer of the lift station and the cost?
Thanks for watching but I'm sorry I don't have links up.
Where can I get a lift station as shown? Btw I'm in Missouri
You have to talk to a plumbing supply house but they typically should only sell to licensed contractors. You will probably need to work with a local contractor. Thanks for watching.
My grandfather hand drove our well back in 1940, 70' deep and hit a natural spring... it's the best tasting water in the area, others have deeper wells that smell like sulphur and taste horrible.
That was the only way of doing it for a long time. Thanks for watching.
I question the grouting the whole well here is why. In many areas you must drill a large pocket below the water sand. If you grout down to the gravel pack in these cases you would be grouting off the watersand. My well here in WV the watersand was 35 feet but its low producing so the well itself is 105 feet this gives plenty of volume to make the well viable. Grouting the way you describe i wouldnt have any water. Here we install a surface casing to bedrock and grout the surface casing only. Then a 4 inch liner pipe is installed to bottom but not grouted then as you did the gravel is put in up over the screen. Anything below the bedrock will not contaminate the well and will be potable.so grouting past bedrock is a complete waste.
On Delmarva we drill in all sand and silts. Its imperative to seal the grounds surface off from all the aquifers encountered during the drilling process. Our regulations require grouting the entire hole. Theres always space between the casing and the borehole. Even if its a very small amount, bacteria and contaminants can drain down the side of the casing and into the aquifer.
@@willeyco4458 different areas and different structural strata does require different ways to construct a safe well. But the one thing that seems should be common no matter where it is, is bedrock. Bedrock is a impermeable layer of thick rock of at least 5 feet. No surface contamination can get past it long as it is properly sealed. So even though you have alot of sand or a strata prone to collapse if you set a surface casing into bedrock and grout it in to surface. They will not be anything from the outside ever get in. The exception to this is when drilling deeper for oil and gas in this case surface vasing must be set well below all fresh water aquifers and cemented back to surface. This is to protect from contamination from the drilling processes and the oil and gas that lays deeper below. Drilling has bern my life a 3rd generation in the field.
Bedrock is incredibly deep in some areas like Delmarva. No water wells that I know of on the lower part of Delmarva are placed in or under bedrock. The northern part of the peninsula has much shallower bedrock. We confine wells on the lower shore by placing them under clay layers. Clay layers are what separate our aquifers. Drilling conditions change dramatically depending on location. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering what you do if you hit bad water at a shallower depth, but know from other local wells that the good water is deeper. How do you keep them from mingling?
In Delaware we seal the entire annulus (area between the pipe and the borehole wall) with bentonite from the gravel pack all the way to the surface.
Cur-Tech systems would be perfect for these lots I don't know if they re in Delaware though. Because in Martha's Vineyard people are burying them under the driveway since they are H-20 rated and getting more storage capacity without taking up any of the the buildable area.
I'm not sure if they are approved in Delaware or not.
Thank you for your video
Thanks for watching.
Nice video. Its also possible to drill 4" borehole drilling without a big machine. This czcams.com/video/UvKsmuwSi9o/video.html shows how it works and animations show what happens in the ground. For example how to prevent the wall from collapsing etc.
It would be tricky but its possible.
Correct@@willeyco4458 its not easy and some places where soil is very rocky or water is deeper than 40m are not suitable for manual drilling.
I have a project that requires a submersible well pump to increase flow on temperature rise of a hard-wired remote senor. 208v 3ph, 2hp, 4 or 6 inch casing. I estimate a 100% duty cycle for 120 days, a 50% duty cycle for 120 days, idle for 120 days. Sub pump water to be returned to the ground via a well.
Thanks for the input.
@@willeyco4458 Are you still in business?
Nice very well done pun intended almost same procedures with my company was that a portadrill? I have had good luck with my speed stars and you know what I mean by luck If it can happen it will happen and the differences were we have to do 50' seals unless pre aproved with 6sack sand slurry also much larger diameter and depth1625' 18" Johnson 040 wire that's the deepest water well I have drilled off shore now that's some deep drilling 5 miles also one technical trick you can do I use on every well keeps me out of coming up short is run the casing in a32 to 37 viscosity run trim in the caseing cap the top pump out the trim and up the annulus once 27 vis. has been achieved gravel pack Keep it turning to the right my friend its a tough business but a honest living be safe
Thanks for the support Jake.
Do you ever drill well that overflow.. They all do here, as we are on a low plain, surrounded by hills. Usually our wells can lift the water 20-30 feet just on artesian pressure alone.
We do have artesian wells in Delaware. Their not common but we definitely drill them from time to time.
Just glue the joints of casing not threaded joints????
We use both primer and glue on all pvc joints. We often use clear primer but we do use purple as well from time to time.
Nice vedio. What about the feed line to the house? Did i miss that?
The video was more focused on the actual well itself but we have other videos showing the hookup side of things.
Why doesn’t the hole you made just collapse. I dug an 8’ hole and that’s as deep,as I could go because the walls collapsed.
drilling muds, the shape of the hole, and water all keep the hole from collapsing. In very sandy soils we have to use thicker drill muds.
Pretty cool
Thanks for the support.
how do you determine the drill site?
Coordination with the owner and regulatory agencies as to where is the optimal location. Its not a real strict process on most drills (meaining theres flexibility) but we have to pay close attention to sources of contamination (like septic systems).
Hey man that's pretty sweet. I work as a junior well driller here in Michigan, and I really like your rig. I'm working my way into the business and would like to get something like that. Awesome video man, I already know how wells work but it's good to watch stuff like this that might give me a trick or two.
Awesome to have you check out or channel. Thanks for watching and good luck on your journey. Its a hard but great line of work
Do you have to mix the grout to a certain viscosity before you pump it to seal the hole? I think I remember years ago in New Mexico that grout had to meet something called a Marsh Funnel viscosity specification before you sealed hole to total depth.
Consistency / Viscosity are important factors to monitor during the grouting process or big problems can occur.
Is a seal required on top of the gravel pack before you grout? In my line of work, we set piezometers for Geotechnical studies, and often I’ll require a few feet of hole plug on top of the filter sand to prevent mud/grout from getting to my filter sand - this may be overkill
Actually our state regulations mandate the grout to extend from the surface to the top of the gravel pack. I actually wish we had a buffer in the regulations. Thanks for watching.
Nice video, well thought-out and easy-to-follow thanks!
Thanks for watching Leo
Hi how does the dirty water and mud don't get in the water under ground that we drink
The well screen does most of the work but the gravel pack does assist some.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching.
How much does it cost to drill a well like this one in the video?
The well in this video would cost around $1200 US (just the well, no pumping equipment)
Did you use primer?
We use primer on all PVC joints.
that is certainly not the completion of this well . what type of pump? i assume a submersible. how was the hp determined. what is the depth of the water table? i would like to have a closer look at that strainer and i can think of a few more questions that would have made this video a little more informative. otherwise, good show...
I am very surprised it didn't collapse in.
The drilling muds, shape, and water in the hole all assist in keeping the hole open.
Great video ! Is it true that there is water between the aquifers and the ground surface. The reason I ask is our aquifers run between 180' to 220' I have been told that there is "Surface water" that can be used no lower that 100'. Does that make sense to you?
Every area is different due to different geology and hydrology but most acquirer have certain thicknesses and they are separated by silts, clays, and rock.
I bet his water tastes like shit! 😄 The neighbors septic tank up hill drains down hill!. Oh those are just minerals in the water! 😄 It's dangerous to drink well water it is untreated and has microscopic life in it parasites, bacteria, Don't drink the Water!
Actually a lot of the water on Delmarva is pretty good. We do have places of higher iron, sulfates, and even nitrates but all in all the water is pretty good. If your concerned with well water from the ground, I'd look into where municipalities draw water from that aren't from ground water wells. You might be surprised. Regularly testing the water is the key to consuming all water.
You don't have to put steel casing around the pvc?
No, we live on sandy soils with shallow water tables.
I’ve done large production wells. The annular space is packed a little different. We use super sacs of gravel, sand and mix tons of cement. One thing you didn’t show is sterilization of the well
Your right on, thanks for the catch. We didn't' show the sterilization. We will do a update video with that. Thank You and I appreciate you watching.
how much does it cost to install a 4400 tank including all labor, tools, and materials?
Every site is different so we don't generally give out guesstimates like that. We like to provide accurate information and we can't do that for a generic question like that. I'm sorry.
Thank you great videos! What soil types are not good for EZ Flow? We live in Northwest NJ a lot of shale,clay & different size rocks.
EZ Flow is pretty good on most soils. EZ Flow is basically an aggregate, like stone. It basically allows the wastewater to spread within the system to gain more surface area to the soils for absorption. Thanks for the question.
What do you do when you lose circulation? I am 120ft deep and my tiny well rig lost circulation
Get it back or you have the rack the rods, fix the problem, and start over.
Great vid very informative I do have a question I live in va just on the east side of 95 and the plans I have call for trenches 120 inches deep can the ez drain be buried that deep
That I'm unsure of because no systems are anywhere near those kind of depths in our area. You'd have to contact Infiltrator (manufacturer)
Great video. The pipe is 4”, what size is the hole? Also does the Bentonite not penetrate the well gravel and screen?
In Delaware we are required to have 1.5" from the outter edge of the casing to the sidewall of the hole.
What certifications should a well company have if I am looking for a well company?
In delaware you are required to have a license from the Department of Natural Resources. Beyond that I would heavily recommend checking references and experience.
I LIVE IN MID SOUTH FLORIDA WHERE THE WATER TABLE CAN BE HIGH AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR. SANDY SOIL, NO CLAY,. ABOUT HOW MUCH TOPSOIL IS NEEDED TO COVER THE EZ FLOW PRODUCT ?. FROM THE LOOKS OF THIS VIDEO, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE LESS THAN 1 FT OF TOPSOIL. PLEASE, IF YOU CAN ANSWER MY QUESTION I WOULD APPRECIATE IT...THANKS .
12" - 16" of soil are required to be on top of the system with 4" of topsoil being part of that cover.
Just got my tank installed today! Hopefully I get many years out of the tank! My water pressure 100x better.
They make a big difference. Congrats.
Florida puts out a list of licensed drillers and you must choose from the list.
Delaware does the same. Thanks for the input
How many feet can you be from a neighbors well? What could happen if you are let's say 10 feet away from another well?
Wells should be 100' from septic leach fields. That distance can be reduced to 50' if one of several conditions are met.
@@willeyco4458 thank you I appreciate your explanation.
Is it a open holed drill to the bottom and no casing? Is there no danger of cave in before the well casing goes in? Is the ground conditions that hard all the way down? Interesting video
It is an open hole the whole time. The pressure of the water holds the wall open as well as drilling fluids as needed. Thanks for watching.
Good Evening - I live in a residential neighborhood constructed in 1970. At that time there were no public sewer lines in the neighborhood. All homes at that time had septic tanks buried it their front yard. Around 1977, the township put in a public sewer line and everyone in the neighborhood hooked into it. All septic tanks were left in the ground. I want to have a well drilled in my backyard but the only access is through the front yard and over the part of the front yard where the unused septic tank is located. My concern is that the extremely heavy drilling equipment with cause the unused septic tank in my front yard to collapse, potentally resulting in damage to the drilling truck. My question for you is whether there is well drilling equipment, including trucks, that are light enough to avoid crushing my front yard?
In Delaware, any abandoned tank or vault of some kind must be either removed or filled with sand. That helps prevent these types of issues. There are well rigs light enough to travel across unstable ground but I doubt any driller will want to run their incredibly expensive Rig across or near a known potential for damage. Thanks for the quiestion
If you plan on living in that house for a while, you might be better off to just deal with that old septic tank now. Those old septic tanks are typically made of concrete and of varying quality. If you have seen a 50 year old concrete sidewalk or driveway, that would give you some idea of what condition it might be in. You could probably get an excavating company to remove the lid and fill it with sand and replace the lid for less than $1000 depending on your area,
@@willeyco4458 Thanks for your response. I obtained from my Township the application for the permit to install the septic tank on my property 50 years ago. The tank is nowhere near well drilling equipment would have to pass over to access my backyard. At this point, my concern is that the mud and cuttings involved in the drilling process will run off onto my backyard neighbors property. Can that be prevented or contained?
What prevents the well sides from collapsing when you extract the drill bill, and before you get the well casing dropped into the well? I'm assuming you never hit bed rock on this particular case.
We don't have bedrock in the lower half of the state. There is some in the northern part. We don't offer services that far away. The pressure from the water keeps the hole open. Sometimes we use drilling fluids that are specifically designed to hole the hole open or keep the clay from swelling. Thanks for watching.
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing. So what was the final cost to the customer for this job?
I'm sorry but we don't discuss pricing on the channel. Thanks for watching.
To think, when I was a kid we drank water from a hand dug well that was about 50 - 60 feet deep. Gravel driveway and 1,000 gallon underground heating oil tank less than 50 feet away
Times and perspective are always changing. Thanks for watching.
