Well Drilling
We are experienced in all phases of water well drillling and installation. We are capable of well construction utilizing either mud rotary or hollow stream auger methods.
In
order for a well
to be drilled a
permit application
must be approved
by the regional
and/or local regulatory
agency. In Northwest
Florida, wells
are permitted by
the Northwest Florida
Water Management
District. After
the permit has
been acquired
work can start
on the well.
Environmental Drilling
We
are knowledgable
in environmental
drilling and have
been responsible
for proper construction
of monitor wells
at contaminated
sites throughout
Florida. Gas stations,
landfills, and
dry cleaners are
examples of sites
which may
contaminate groundwater.
Samples taken from
monitor wells at
regular intervals
can be used to
detect and measure
concentrations
of contaminants.
Geotechnical Drilling
Soil and rock samples are often needed for detemining the suitability of a construction site, locating water bearing strata, and locating mineral deposits. At Davis Well we have the experience to utilize a variety of tools for geotechnical purposes, including: split spoon sampler, piston sampler, flight auger, hollow stem auger and core barrel.
Down-Well Video
Our
down hole camera
is used to visually
examine a well,
determine casing
depths in wells,
or to identify
obstructions. It
is also used to
inspect wells for
cavities or voids
prior to plugging.

Well Plugging
Wells that have become unusable need to be properly plugged in order to prevent contamination of the aquifer. Examples of wells that need to be plugged include, wells in which corroded casings have collapsed, wells in the path of new construction, wells that have been abandoned, and wells that have been adversely affected by storms.
Constant Pressure Systems
A constant pressure water system can help extend the life of a pump and give well owners city-like water pressure. These systems can be controlled either by a valve or electronically. Unlike an older type system, a constant pressure system does not need a large storage tank. For a typical residential system a four gallon pre-pressurized tank is appropriate.
