Understanding Well Drilling in Simcoe County

Simcoe County’s diverse geology presents both opportunities and challenges for well drilling.

Geological Conditions

• Overburden: Clay, sand, and gravel deposits left by glaciers
• Bedrock: Limestone, dolostone, and shale formations
• Water-Bearing Zones: Found in fractured bedrock and aquifers
• Depth Variations: Some areas require deeper drilling

Most residential wells in our service area reach depths of 50-200 feet. Our experience drilling thousands of wells means we can predict conditions based on your property’s location.

Common Well Drilling Questions

How long does well drilling take?

Most residential wells are completed in 1-2 days of active drilling. The total timeline from consultation to completed well typically runs 2-4 weeks.

How much water will my well produce?

Most residential wells in Simcoe County produce 5-20 gallons per minute—more than adequate for typical household use.

What permits do I need?

All new wells require a Well Construction Record filed with the Ministry of Environment. We handle all permit applications for you.

Can you drill in winter?

Absolutely! We offer year-round service. Winter drilling can be advantageous as ground conditions are firm.

How deep will you need to drill?

Most wells in Simcoe County range from 50-200 feet, though some require deeper drilling based on location and geology.

What about water quality?

We strongly recommend testing your new well water through an accredited laboratory. We can provide referrals to testing labs.

What if you don’t find water?

While extremely rare in Simcoe County, we don’t charge for wells that fail to produce adequate water.

How much does well drilling cost?

Well drilling costs typically range from $15-$30 per foot drilled, plus fixed costs. Most residential wells cost $8,000-$15,000 complete.

Do I need a pump right away?

The well must be completed before a pump can be installed. We work with qualified pump installers or can provide referrals.

What maintenance does a drilled well require?

Drilled wells require minimal maintenance. We recommend annual water quality testing and periodic inspection of well caps and seals.
