Brother you hit this one out of the park! I asked you for more details on the drilling and setting the casing, you answered my question, I suggested you do a video like this and here we are! Very nice. So I am in Highlands NC about 4 hours away from you and currently have an existing circa 1965 ish community well that needs fracking. It had a 5 hp 25 gal/min setup but now is only producing 1.5 gal/min and we have a 1 hp setup working so it doesn't keep running dry. This is pumped into a 5000 gallon cistern and gravity fed to the community from there. Let's make a long story short I was considering calling you to help us out up here but you mentioned previously in other videos that you don't like to travel. Besides the fracking for the community well I have three other wells that need to be drilled in the same community and have two out of the three permits so far in hand. One of which is to be a replacement backup plan for the community well that's not producing. Everybody in these parts are covered up with work so I'm looking elsewhere to get done what needs to be done. Hopefully we can work togethe. I'd love to have you come to Highlands and take care of business. let me know thanks

@za_ozero the Pipe keeps the Dirt & rain water out of the well. Then we drill inside the pipe & look for fresh water in the rock.

I have zero to do with wells, but I've found your videos very interesting, particularly this one, where you give lots of details (good or bad for the hole). I see guys who know what they're doing. Keep 'em comin'! P.S. Only complaint is, when talking to the viewers, look directly into the camera lens. It looks like your eyes are looking to the side😳😉

Just make sure you watch all of his videos. The important factor is how deep your well is. If it is over 350’ deep you can’t use rolled tubing. You will need to install pipe with a Crain. He also has said that the common rolled tubing is only rated to 250’. You can buy special tubing that goes deeper.

Amazed how it all works and its some definite talent! Love watching the video and kudos to you for making them! Luckily I live in a place where shallow wells are easy and we have a high water table. Over the last couple years I've managed to install a few shallow wells with a little help. Water for days!

Sounds expensive. Anybody here ever done a well in the Waco Area? Curious. But I will be watching more videos here. Thanks for all you do.

I used champion well co out of lineville,Ala in 2010. They drilled down to 62 feet to granite stone. At 186feet,it dropped 6-,8 inches and water came then. He drilled down to 225 and water bottomed out. So they drilled in granite to 328 feet and pulled out. I got me a long nylon line and tied piece of brick and let it down every hour during day to the water sound. I got in at 6 foot an hour each time. Folks,this is great to know about your well after drilling. In three days it topped at 45 feet from top .They came and installed punp and pipe. Mine then in 2010 was 4800.00 well and all. Guaranteed water price. I paid for pipe and breamers and wire to do all this myself. It was 5200 .00 in all. Been here 17 years now and only replaced pump once after 9 years. This is what it was back then in 2010. To the people that want a well,that is a chunk. Water is worth it. Very cold water in summer.

hi. i drilled a well and i am very satisfied with the quality of the water and the water flow. a friend of mine tried the same 500km away and he found salt water in a very small ammount. basically his well is useless. My conclusion is that we depend on what is under our feet; we depend on mother nature. well depth might be irellevant. in some cases the deeper you go, the worse it gets. on my friend's case, the deeper he went, the more salt he found

Unfortunately my well cost me almost 25K but they had to go 650' deep and then it needed to be fracked but now I have about a 15gpm well and lots of capacity so I don't ever foresee us running out of water.

Thanks for taking the time to show the whole process. I have a quote from a North Iowa company for an irrigation well for $160,000. You have confirmed that this number is pure robbery and we would pay the "because they can charge what they want" tax. Plumbers, electricians, farmers, welders are all professionals. I don't understand the need to charge so much. Even if the diameter is bigger and casing more substantial. $35,000 I can see.
