Brother you hit this one out of the park! I asked you for more details on the drilling and setting the casing, you answered my question, I suggested you do a video like this and here we are! Very nice. So I am in Highlands NC about 4 hours away from you and currently have an existing circa 1965 ish community well that needs fracking. It had a 5 hp 25 gal/min setup but now is only producing 1.5 gal/min and we have a 1 hp setup working so it doesn't keep running dry. This is pumped into a 5000 gallon cistern and gravity fed to the community from there. Let's make a long story short I was considering calling you to help us out up here but you mentioned previously in other videos that you don't like to travel. Besides the fracking for the community well I have three other wells that need to be drilled in the same community and have two out of the three permits so far in hand. One of which is to be a replacement backup plan for the community well that's not producing. Everybody in these parts are covered up with work so I'm looking elsewhere to get done what needs to be done. Hopefully we can work togethe. I'd love to have you come to Highlands and take care of business. let me know thanks
I didn't understand why you drilled, then set a plastic pipe and then again drilled through it
@za_ozero the Pipe keeps the Dirt & rain water out of the well. Then we drill inside the pipe & look for fresh water in the rock.
I have zero to do with wells, but I've found your videos very interesting, particularly this one, where you give lots of details (good or bad for the hole). I see guys who know what they're doing. Keep 'em comin'!
P.S. Only complaint is, when talking to the viewers, look directly into the camera lens. It looks like your eyes are looking to the side😳😉
G'day from Aus, I wasn't planning on watching the whole lot but each step seemed important enough, good work
Hell yea man. Growing organically. Your growth is amazing. NO bought subs, no bs. Just people who want to watch you as a creator. Thats something to be proud of. Your dad should be proud man.
Thanks Keith! Dad enjoys reading the comment sections of the videos, that really changed his perspective on making videos, it's the people's comments that are Always uplifting. Very few are negative
@@h2omechanic heck yea man. I wish my dad could have taught me his trade (diesel injection - hit me if you need anything that area). You have the dream job.
Great video! Drilled many wells, and cored thousands of feet of rock in another life. Brings back many memories! Love how you narrate whats going on so people can understand.
Smoooooth working this definitely not the first well you guys have worked on together. Y’all read each others minds and knew what the others were doing. Like clock work. Great video and great team!😅
Dude you are a true professional, most drillers would short the customer and not go the extra depth for better water flow.
You are right
My dad was a water well driller. He had rotary tool and cable tool rigs. This takes me back. Great job! He always said that water well drilling is the only job you start at the top.
Your team is like a well oiled machine. Everybody knows their job. Like your videos.
This has to be the best video presentation yet. Thank you so much for showing the whole process. I wouldn't mind a little more detail on the different sizes and their purposes but this one filled in a lot of gaps that I have had questions about. Thanks again for sharing this with the world. You're awesome.
I love your videos! I had a well drilled years ago but didn’t have the money to have them install the pump and run the plumping. After watching your videos I have decided to do it myself! I love your attention to detail and doing the job right the first time! Thanks for being an awesome person and caring about others!
Just make sure you watch all of his videos. The important factor is how deep your well is. If it is over 350’ deep you can’t use rolled tubing. You will need to install pipe with a Crain. He also has said that the common rolled tubing is only rated to 250’. You can buy special tubing that goes deeper.
I have watched nearly everyone of his videos! Fortunately mine is only 240ft so I’ll be using 200psi poly. Thanks!
@@davidskabelund4298damn...that's deep as shit dude 😲
Last house I bought in AZ well was 620 ft.
@@tdc9136 holy shit 😳😲 did they hit lava 🔥???
I remember how excited my drillers were when they hit 50+ gallons per minute at 200-210' on my well. So much water was flowing that it was coming out clear.
Shalom Shalom! What was the cost per foot to drill, and what part of the country/state was the work conducted? Todah (Thanks) for your answer in advance!
Always Above Ground,
Me1BzMan
@@me1bzman145 Seems like around $20.00/foot to drill, but that was many years ago. Drilling was only half the cost and total cost was around $12,000.00
Great video! Enjoyed watching the whole process. More of this, please!
Absolutely love these complete videos especially the explanation of the different rock at levels and what your looking for great video thank you
H, by the way, excellent video. Brings back memories of watching the well being drilled where I grew up. In my 60's now...an old man😊.
THANK YOU for leveling the volume- no eardrum blasting! Interesting and informative videos you are posting up. Professionalism shows. Keep up the great work!
Great video. I love watching you drill a well it is very interesting, keep up the good work
A very good overview of water well drilling. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutley Fascinating! Thank you!
Awesome video for drilling a water well. I haven't seen all of your videos maybe the last year or 2 but this video really makes sense to me...
Great video I really enjoyed it. I could watch well drilling every day❤
Been in construction since the late 80s and was always the most fascinated with the well drillers. Sure learned a lot by watching and asking questions. Amazed how it all works and its some definite talent! Love watching the video and kudos to you for making them! Luckily I live in a place where shallow wells are easy and we have a high water table. Over the last couple years I've managed to install a few shallow wells with a little help. Water for days!
Great video.
Nice job guys. Good attention to detail and great results!
Another great video, hope you show more of how to hold the rods when you add or remove additional ones. Thanks
Excellent Job! Congratulations!
Love how these guys work as a team
I love your video.. You are an awesome person and you do quality work. Looking forward to next video.
Good job boys, enjoys your hard work with them wells and repairs.
Enjoyed the video. I watched the guys drill mine. Nail biting nerves waiting to see if we hit. You guys work hard. Keep it up!
Thank you sir for sharing with us I appreciate all this information, It was very interesting thank you God bless you have a blessed day.
I never knew digging holes was so interesting. Thanks.
I find a lot of your videos so educational and this one doesn’t disappoint. I’m very interested in every aspect of the drilling and well systems. I’ve been waiting for over a year to have a well drilled on my property but where I live there’s very few that are in the business. Thanks for the videos!
Nice Video made me think back I was working on a drilling rig through out the 60’s
Well Apréciate, thank you for the video thanks to everyone involved
Extremely professional. Lovely job.
I enjoyed watching this so thanks for sharing.
interesting to watch and see how differently you guys do it
Awesome.
Great video! You're a very good commentator as well.
Thank you
Ever have a customer that wasn't on site and didn't mark the spot they wanted but gave you a general area, get mad because it wasn't exactly where they wanted it? For some reason I can see that kind of thing happening
Great Video - Well done - very informative. Keep 'em comin' !!
Really interesting. Keep safe. Many thanks.
That was so interesting. Thanks guys.
Enjoyed the video even though I didn't understand every step of the process. I will probably watch it again later.
WoW that's a huge machine
Thanks
Reminds me when my well was drilled. They went to 550 ft A 4 wire 5 hp pump and Franklin box.
I faced this problem way too many times. As soon as you hit the vein the chips come out like small boulders. The more you blow it, the problematic they become and some times binds the bit to a halt. Anyway, you guy did a great job. Cheers buddy.
In some way I see why wells cost what they do. A lot of time and labor, equipment and knowledge. Thanks for the video, Hopefully when my well in western Massachusetts needs work I find someone as good as you.
Thanks for the information. It really helped me understand the process
I have had 4 wells punched over the years for homes I built, I have some idea about it, but this video was very informative. Thanks, great job!
I will say, I am in the Northeast, Maine. Things are a little different up here.
Nice job well done guys that is what you call 💪 a gusher
Very cool!
Great video we’re having a water well drilled on our property now, very informative video 👍🏽
Great video 👍👍👍
Really, really enjoyed this video! we will be drilling a well next summer. Tons of boulders and ledge rock here in NE MN. Like your can do attitude. Very informative. Subscribed and happy I did.
Well done guys.💪💪👍👍👏👏💯💯❤❤
I'll tell ya what... that was absolutely fascinating to watch. Had no idea how it was done nor did I understand what an "art" It Is to drill for water... It fascinates me to know that there is water below us. Wish I had a cut out of the earth to be able to put it in perspective. Great job men, now have a Beer...
Great video !
I BELIEVE
Great video
Really interesting!
Awesome video man, that was great!
That was a great video. It left me wanting to know more about drilling. Fascinating. Hope you do more like that. I’ll be watching. :)
Awesome video I learned a lot thank you
Awsome 🏆
i realy admire your way of working (and your father's). very well organised. goor for your materials. good for the knowledge of de undergroud. very good work. good for your helpers. (and, i saw
some drilling here from other people).
Cool video, I’ve seen these rigs at a distance but have never been up close when they are drilling.
This is very timely... I'm in the market for a well in Hill County, Texas. Although I get the basics of water well drilling, I've never done it. And I'm told that our Aquifer is up to 1500' down. Sounds expensive. Anybody here ever done a well in the Waco Area? Curious. But I will be watching more videos here. Thanks for all you do.
Can look up Well data in you’re area here www3.twdb.texas.gov/apps/WaterDataInteractive/GroundwaterDataViewer/?map=sdr
We had to have a new well on the farm and my dad knew a water Witcher. He came and I just didn’t believe in it but he picked two places and they hit water at 46 feet.
This video has to be the best overall well drilling process explained I have ever seen. I am fascinated with how this all works and how it provides me with the best drinking water I've ever had. Unfortunately my well cost me almost 25K but they had to go 650' deep and then it needed to be fracked but now I have about a 15gpm well and lots of capacity so I don't ever foresee us running out of water.
كلما حفرت أكثر تحصل على الماء أكثر .إن شاءالله لاينفذ ولا ينقطع مائك
Very nice video and nice add-ons for the controls.
great video. need a well drilled in Texas but will have to wait.
Yeah buddy I enjoyed this video. I'm looking to drill a well in middle Tennessee very soon.
My mom and dad and my grandparents both had wells drilled in southern Oklahoma. They used what they called a spudder rig. Both wells went just over one hundred feet. The wells were only used for lawn watering b

I need a drill crew like this where I live.
Great informative video. Thanks for your content.
Liked and subscribed.
Never quite understood the drilling process but loving every minute of watching you !!
I’m getting ready to most likely replace my pressure tank….thats how I stumbled on to your site !!
Many say to put a check valve just prior to tank…..some say don’t.
What do you say ??
When they installed mine….they put a pvc check valve “after” the tank and just prior to house entry 🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
nice to see youre dogs
Wish i was rich cuz I'm trying to get one of these dug. At least now i appreciate why it's such an expensive job. Thumbs up & wish me luck on my well drilling endeavor.
Interesting how different the drilling process is in various parts of the country.
it is true...👌
What do you mean by difference processes; isn't it the same all over the country?
What state was this filmed in?
Excellent work ! The girls in the back look they are wanting daddy to get home so they can have supper.
I totally enjoy your videos,how do you decide where to locate where you drill and know that there is water there??
Good video 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
That well was LIT! Just subscribed!
Luv it I work with Longyear in the Simpson desert diamond drilling looking for euraniam found heap water I driving water truck good job
👍👍👍👍 !
Nice job of drilling even though you got the wrong rig lol. I'm retired but I spent many years on the older style rigs cable tools was a 3rd generation driller work both in oilfield and did some water on the side. Gotta love those old spudders
I wish I could have a well dug but unfortunately there’s several old strip coal mines within a few miles of my house and they made two huge pits they filled with coal ash so it’s a 50/50 chance the water isn’t safe to drink and I don’t want to put money into something that might be useless great video thanks for sharing
vary vary interesting
that did appear to be a great source of water !
My well pump is 550 feet deep ♥️
Love from India ❤
Good day I finished one at 227 and I got to watch you finish one. Lol
First time. See you video
I loved. Good job sr 👍
Very interesting and professionally done.
What a great video. I worked in Arizona in airplanes, temp was 120, people passed out, just dropping to their knees.
I once worked at a McDonalds, it was hot sometimes
@@markusr1308 fry station, grill, or just regular heat?
You gave me a laugh
Almost half way to your goal of 100k!!!
Cool video, thanks for sharing. Get u guys some respirators!!! Your health is important. 👍
ran a similar setup .. old north span drill RC -cyclone for exploration self-contained to 500' if we could maintain pressure ..I think Pat Moody Kelowna BC built it .. last time I used it was in DRC Africa
I wish I could afford to have you drill a well for me! I have to haul water in the dry season. I have been told we're setting on a huge underground lake about 185 feet down!
hi. i drilled a well and i am very satisfied with the quality of the water and the water flow. a friend of mine tried the same 500km away and he found salt water in a very small ammount. basically his well is useless. My conclusion is that we depend on what is under our feet; we depend on mother nature. well depth might be irellevant. in some cases the deeper you go, the worse it gets. on my friend's case, the deeper he went, the more salt he found
