Top Water Well Drilling Contractor in the Chester County PA Area Since 1945

Proper construction of water wells is essential, and required by regulations. Well drilling is licensed by states and some local counties, and Keyes Inc. is properly licensed and insured to meet the demands of these important standards. Our crews are trained in all phases of well construction, and are equipped to handle conditions that can unexpectedly arise when dealing with geologic formations.

Following is a brief introduction as to how a residential well is constructed:

  1. A 10" hole is drilled through the overburden (dirt and loose rock) and into the top 5' to 10' of the solid bedrock formation.
  2. A 6" steel or PVC plastic casing is inserted into the hole and grouted with bentonite clay and/or cement into the solid rock. This casing and grout prevents surface water from entering into the deeper water-bearing rock formations.
  3. A 6" drill bit is then inserted inside the casing, lowered to the bottom, and drilled into the rock formations below. As we drill, we intersect small cracks and fractures in the rock formations which hold water. This water collects in the void created by drilling, forming a storage area for the water. The yield of a well is measured in gallons per minute (gpm).
  4. A submersible pump is inserted down the well, providing a safe supply of water for your family!
