Of water wells
Texan Water is a full water well drilling service company. We do residential water well and commercial wells. Therefore if you are thinking of drilling a water well, check below for some common types..
Different types of water wells
Supply your house with clean water! A residential water well has many benefits such as eliminate city water bills, no water restrictions and it can be used off grid. Interestingly a residential water well in Central Texas & the Hill Country can vary in depth, some are just 75ft, while others can be over 1000ft.
Commercial water well drilling
Commercial water well drilling includes public water supply wells, small business wells or subdivisions in cities. These are often larger wells that need engineering and Texas commission of environmental quality (TCEQ) permitting. Texan Water has experience and knowledge in commercial water well drilling and development so we can ensure your project will be in the best hands!
Industrial wells
Another water well drilling service we prove is industrial wells. These types of wells are for commercial usage such as mines, quarries, or lumbar yards. Similar to a residential water well in size, these wells that do not require TCEQ permitting but still may require engineering.
Environmental Wells
Another water well drilling service we provide are environmental wells. Specifically, these wells are used for ground water monitoring, water sampling or aquifer management or for
Agricultural wells
Agricultural or irrigation wells can be from the small scale for your lawn or garden to large wells for crops/farms. For that matter, irrigation wells can have higher a horsepower pump which can do several hundreds or thousands of gallons of water per minute. Agricultural wells can be similar to commercial water well drilling in size, but not require TCEQ permitting.
Geothermal wells
Geothermal water wells are great for long-term energy savings. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has called ground source heat pumps the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective heating and cooling systems available. Additionally, these systems range from closed or open loop systems. Closed loop systems is when you drill a series of wells and pump to a desired location. Open loop drills 1 well and it pumps into another. Geothermal can be used for both a commercial or residential water well.
determine an estimate for drilling a water well
Step 1
First our water well drilling service starts with checking the well data in your area to determine approximate depth, yield and water quality. This is great with residential water wells!
Step 2
Secondly, check the geological formations and which aquifer we would be drilling to. Also then figure out the drilling process, such as air rotary, hammer or mud drilling.
Step 3
Thirdly, check what permits and regulations are required in your area and if there are any conservation districts.
Step 4
Lastly, we do a site visit to figure out the best place for drilling water well. During this visit, we can do well witching services, which can increase the odds of finding water.
types of air rotary drilling
Direct air flow rotary
Direct air flow rotary has compressed air injected though the center of the drill pipe. This air rotary method goes out the drill bit and brings the cuttings up the bore hole to the surface. If you are drilling a water well with this method, it is because you have medium hard types of rock like limestone.
Direct air rotary down hole hammer
Direct air rotary down hole hammer is a similar process as direct air flow rotary, but it has a DTH (down hole hammer) attached to the bit. Additionally, we use air rotary drilling for hard rocks like granite.
Mud rotary drilling
Similar to air rotary drilling where the air goes out the drill pipe and up the bore hole. However, mud rotary drilling uses water and drilling additives mixed to form drilling mud. For that matter, it is best used for unconsolidated rock formations and drilling through sand and gravel
