Water Well Costs

Every Guardino Well water system is specifically designed to meet the requirements set forth by the customer. When planning a water well installation it is important to understand the construction and location of a typical water well system as well as potential costs. The exact details of the location and composition of the water well will depend on your requirements and the geographic layout of the property. When your water well is complete you will be provided with complete diagrams, drawings and explanations of your water well and pumping systems.

Potential Costs

The exact cost to drill and install your water well system depends on many factors including location and the type of water well system to be installed. Some of the potential costs associated with water well construction include:

When you call for a water well drilling estimate, we can generally write an estimate based on the information provided over the phone and/or will arrange an on-site visit to meet with you. Our contracts are written based on our knowledge of the given area and the water wells which we have constructed and/or serviced within the immediate vicinity of the project site. Since Guardino Well Drilling has drilled and serviced over 10,000 wells in Santa Clara County, we can provide an accurate estimate of what the actual cost may be.

Water well drilling cost is determined by the total depth drilled and the total depth of the completed well. Additional costs which are included on the contract include: permitting, sanitary surface seal and mobilization / demobilization charges (for certain areas). During our visit to the potential drilling site, we will also determine if additional costs such as special site preparation, tractor work or tree-trimming will be necessary. In most cases, the customer can mitigate these costs themselves.

Guardino Well Drilling will obtain drilling permits and provide initial water for drilling at no additional charge. We will often provide a tractor on-site during drilling to contain the cuttings as they are discharged from the borehole. All the necessary information concerning the well will be contained in the Well Report to be issued upon completion of the job. One copy will go to the customer, one to the County and another to the State. Guardino Well Drilling will also provide all necessary certificates of insurance upon request.
