For residential well drilling in Arizona, costs typically range from $50 to $75 per foot, depending on drilling conditions, depth requirements, and casing installation. It's important to understand that drilling represents only half of the complete project. To utilize the water, you'll need a complete pumping system installed. We recommend requesting a comprehensive estimate covering both the well drilling and pumping system installation to better understand the total project investment.

Fluctuating or surging water pressure is most commonly caused by either a ruptured bladder tank or a water-logged hydro-pneumatic pressure tank. We strongly advise addressing this issue promptly, as this condition significantly reduces your pump motor's lifespan due to rapid cycling. If you're experiencing pressure fluctuations, contact Mike's Drilling immediately so our service team can resolve this problem for you.

No credible drilling company will ever guarantee water discovery. As drilling professionals, we can only extract what naturally exists beneath the ground. If you have concerns about water availability on your current property or one you're considering purchasing, please call our team. We can provide relevant experience data and historical records to help you better assess the potential risks involved.

The Arizona Department of Health Services recommends testing when a well is first commissioned and then at specific intervals. For new wells, test for arsenic, bacteria (total coliform), fluoride, lead, nitrates, total dissolved solids, and uranium. Annual testing should include bacteria and nitrates, while arsenic, fluoride, and uranium should be tested every 5 years. Mike's Drilling provides testing for all new wells we drill and equip, plus ongoing testing through our Well Maintenance Agreement program. Additional testing is recommended if there are known water problems in your area, disturbances near your well, noticeable changes in water quality, or unexplained illnesses.

For financing options on new well installations or necessary repairs, please contact our office directly for information about our well financing program. We can provide you with the specific details and help determine the best solution for your needs.

Arizona is not out of water. While we face water challenges currently and in the foreseeable future, this situation isn't unprecedented. Arizona has historically confronted various water challenges, and through collaborative efforts, we can continue to overcome these obstacles and thrive as we always have done.

Yes, at Mike's Drilling we offer our Well Maintenance Agreement (WMA) program. This scheduled maintenance program for your well is designed to save you money long-term by addressing minor issues before they develop into costly problems. Similar to maintenance for your home or vehicle, regular well maintenance is a prudent investment. Contact our office today to learn more about enrolling in this beneficial program.

If you rely on a private well for water and notice an unexpectedly high electric bill, the most likely causes are either a worn pump or a hole in the drop pipe. These conditions can force your pump to run for much longer than designed or, in severe cases, continuously without shutting off. If you're experiencing this issue, contact Mike's Drilling today to have an experienced well service technician diagnose and resolve the problem.

Low water pressure from a private well can stem from multiple causes, including a worn pump, insufficient water production from the well, pipe blockages due to sediment accumulation, or various other factors. If you're experiencing reduced water pressure, please contact Mike's Drilling to have our experienced well service technicians visit your property for proper diagnosis and resolution.

Sediment in private well water can result from several issues: casing corrosion allowing sand intrusion, dropping water tables, sand accumulation raising the well bottom near the pump setting, inadequate initial well development, poor well design, or over-pumping. If you're noticing sediment in your water, please call Mike's Drilling today for a professional consultation to identify and address the specific cause.
