- In November, 2021. My wife and I bought 10 acres of raw land in Missouri. We are excited to share our journey and figure things out together. We are very new at this and we are learning everything for the first time. We are building a Luxury Airbnb Cabin in the Woods!
Part 1:We need Water! So its time to drill the most expensive Well!

I just had my well drilled 2 weeks ago here in NC. 245' 30 gpm. It only cost me $7200 for drilling, 84 feet of pvc casing and grout.
Wow lucky you. I will never drill a well during pandemic again 😂.
rock drill tools factory
20 years ago I had my pump replaced in my 400foot well and it cost me $7,000.
No reason drilling a well should cost this much
What I really want to know is why the government isn’t stepping in after the price gouging of Covid ? 100% increase for no reason at all is pretty messed up.
The driller is making less money now than before Covid. His costs have gone thru the roof controlled by big corporations!!! The cost of his rig would knock you on yur ass.
Mosquito!!!!
Damn that was expensive, had a 400ft well drilled with 120 of 6inch pvc casing for 6k in south carolina, 2020, after 50 ft they hit granite too! I did the the rest, wiring plumbing trenching, pump, pressure tank...maybe another 1500 bucks total for 400 feet 7500 bucks...shit for what you paid you would have been better off to buy an older cable tool rig, got pipe and a string of tools and had a truck too for that amount they got you for!!!
They wanted to retire after 6 customers... screw that!
Anytime a contractor pulls into my yard with a beard, inked up with 20k work of tattoos and a new diesel truck, I'm like, no this idiot will want too much and the conversation is pretty much over before they say a word.
Lol just got on marketplace found a 22w cable tool, truck and a string of tools for 13k....lol weld that pipe and pound away! Bet you didnt get 3 quotes did ya?
I got four different quotes unfortunately. These guys were the most trustworthy. The others quoted me a little cheaper by $2-3k but I did not trust them. So yeah 👍
I was quoted $65K for a well to be dug in the Colorado Springs area. I was like, No Thanks. I’m gonna have a cistern water system installed for $20K
That’s crazy. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much.
@@KeyesGlamping I paid $30K for a 3 acre parcel of land. I can't understand paying more than twice that for a water well
That makes since. But for our purpose we needed a well . There was no way around it unfortunately.
Can u please tel place name where u have drilled borehole
That’s ridiculous, for water….
Shit ya paying half that for piss farting around! Ripping off much🤨🤯🇦🇺
The steel casing and plastic liner are the big money items at present. 6 inch steel has been at $17 per ft wholesale but yesterday was told it is going back to $13. PVC has been very high priced the last few months too but also heard it was backing off as the steel. I think high interest rate has put a damper on demand. Watching the video I could not get a very good count on the joints of steel casing but did see at least 24 of the plastic liner. That is where a chunk of the money went. And they installed a 1.5 hp pump so those things all jumped 33% last year. I heard the drilling portion of the company you hired has now sold to another company out of Summersville, MO. Just heard that yesterday from wholesale supplier.
Thank you for sharing that. We were afraid to play the waiting game and see if the price will drop . But it was worth it. No regrets. 😊👍
20 gpm is amazing!! Nice one!
Thank you 😊
Whoever spread the gravel with the dump truck didnt know what they were doing. I drove dump trucks for 40 years and id be ashamed if i couldnt do a better job then this.
Yea right be hind the cabin the highest point Iv seen in video....when you started up the drive way to where you stopped be hind the cabin had to be 50 foot or more higher....
600ft in arizona about 35k
Hi from SOS WATER & WASTEWATER SERVICES in Sedona, Arizona. We work mostly with K&M drilling out of Camp Verde.
Sounds like these boys took you for a ride. A well that deep here in North Carolina it's about $15,000. You have a beautiful place.
Yep. After getting 4 bids. This was the most reasonable one. And thank you I appreciate it. 👍😊
@@KeyesGlamping the drillers got together to set a price, at the least.....it's twice the price, and they have old equipment. They are laughing all the way to the bank!!!
Sou driller in Brazil in que país e su bisines
Supply and demand unfortunately
This is the new normal, not much we can do! My well will be a similar price
Wtf in India it cost between 1000 to 1500 dollars for like 500-800 fts
I had a well drilled in 2019 it came in at 33+ gallons per minute . Hit water at 83 feet casing went down 88 feet. Cost $ 8000 complete with water running in house. Very happy after living with minimal water from dug well for 50 years. I am in southern tier NY.
Wow that is great price . I am jealous.
It cost me $20k to go 600 feet April 2020, June 2021 it was being priced at $40k. It is absurd why the prices have doubled.
Yep . They all blame it on the pandemic.
Can u please tel place name where u have drilled borehole.
You should have placed your septic on the side you had the well drilled. But I'm a moron, so...
Maybe next time. 😊👍
Your kidding, right ?!?!?
Annoying music. I would rather hear the machinery. If I wanted to hear music I would have gone to a music channel. No watch, no sub.
Just had my well drilled in Washington, $29,689 tax included drilling only, it included metal casing and PVC casing, 320 feet deep well and 20 gals a minute. Than it was another charge for a pump setup and get it ready for the house, electrical work, panel on base meter for pump, 2 frost free hydrants, so that was another $16,900 tax included, I didn’t know it was going to cost me that much, but they did a good job
Wow that is really expensive! I had a lot of hope that it would cheaper but it didn’t happen. But it’s definitely worth it. 😊👍
I noticed your well head is not plumb. that is unacceptable, the well company should have better quality workmanship than that. I hope this has not Been an issue with installing the pump. I would make them fix it. I have been involved with wells for multiple decades and never seen one left like that. I sure as heck would not have let them leave without doing the job right. I wish you the best of luck with all your projects.
I'm looking at building a well myself on 10 acres in SW Missouri (Ozarks). I will have to call these guys.
Where are you located?
Central Missouri
Just drilled a water well in Kansas. 140ft. $5900. I thought that was expensive. Ah shit that’s cold! March 26 2024.
Wow that’s cheap! Lucky you
Drillers always pick a site that's higher on the hill cuz it's deeper to drill
Not necessarily
HA! HA!
I'm 78 and started water well drilling in 1972..my partner started the company in 1922.
I learned a lot from his experience and mine .
Ridge lines and hill tops are where you find the rock fractures needed to collect water. I learned on cable tools and ended up with rotaries.
We're still active in Northern CA...
.
I tell you this right now I work behind one of these and others because my whole family has been drilling holes since 1915 when grandfather started it with cable tools rigs to air rotary but we never leave the skirt touching the ground. We make it easier shovel. We raise it up foot 2 foot just when you shovel all day long like I have to most well we drill Take 300 to 690 in steel casing pipe and yes we weld it all together
VERY NICE
Regular Kansas prices is 35 to 40$ per foot completed.
خداوند حفظتان کند محترم رسول صاحب کارتان خیلی خیلی عالیست دست تان درد نکند موفق باشید 🧿😘❤️🤲🌹🤲🙏
i couldn't catch it, but did they grout your well (seal it off from groundwater)?
Yes they did. 😊👍
Mine here in idaho is going to run 32k for 360 ft, they're drilling as we speak
Wow! Good luck . Hopefully they find water before that. 😊👍
I'm hoping so as well! Thank you for the reply!
Let me know how everything went. When everything is done. Thanks 😊👍
@@KeyesGlamping Hey man! My well is finished and we just got the pump in yesterday. The driller went to 360 and my well is producing 30+ gallons a minute!
@@KeyesGlamping total cost was $30,640
Wow, that's $70 a foot! We're drilling a well in Nova Scotia is it's only $30 a foot
Yes it was very expensive.
Drilling not digging
I wish we had those prices here. We are currently charging about $40/ft. Including 6" pvc casing and screen from top to bottom due to local geology. We have to import all materials and tools from The USA. I dont see much difference on the final quality of the wells as we used same materials and practices.
With casing for us was $37/ft. Plus we had to put in a liner. 😊👍
I was quoted 50k for a 300 ft well…. So sadly you were not paying for the most expensive residential well. This was back in 2019 too.
The people who charge reasonable prices were booked out 6 - 12 months. 50k was for only a 1 month wait.
Wow that’s insane. What state? And did you get the well done ?
@@KeyesGlamping California. Many of the older shallower wells were running dry in the drought. Yup well was drilled with a company offering a reasonable price after a long wait. Well drilling itself with pump and pressure tank was 18k or so. The storage tank, treatment system, treated water pump, etc ended up being 13k or so. Total cost of $31k for residential water.
All i can say is that desperate people are willing to pay a lot more money, Time is money after all and shipping water in tanker trunks is expensive and not having water is a headache.
@@blackknight467 wow very interesting. And yes we were one of those desperate people unfortunately. Hopefully it will last forever! 😊👍
Can u please tel place name where u have drilled borehole
West of Phoenix,, try $250,000 for starters.
Oh WOW. Really? Why because of the terrain
@@KeyesGlamping Depth to the water, size and strength of the pump to lift it that high. About 70 miles west and a bit south of Phoenix is Harquahala Valley. Not truly a valley as we think of it,, level and flat for 20 miles or more. But what it is,, I figured out is an ancient collapsed caldera. Must have been one heck of an explosion. Then give it a few million years and erosion filled in the caldera to nearly flat and level,,, 1,000 vertical feet of erosion infill,, 500 to 800 feet down is water,, a bit salty, I never drink it,all bottled water in the kitchen. But clothes washer,,washing your hair in the shower? A little soap and things get really clean. Grows plants just fine.
Well cost 250,000 Pulling the pump because of an electrical defect,,,, 40 dollar fix,, but 14,000 to pull the pump and put it back in.
Hahahhaha, you need to learn to sobstuff your self!
This is why we catch our water off of a bluff.
Predobro masAllah
Where in Missouri are you?
Cuba Missouri
@@KeyesGlamping right on. I just picked up 22 acres 11 miles west of bunker.
@@LittleBlueCabinintheWoods365 that’s great. Do you have plans to do anything with it or just for recreational?
@@KeyesGlamping I'm still up in the air, part of me wants to set up several primitive campsites (firepits and grills) and carve out a trail system throughout the property. Because I'm right in between Mark Twain to the north and forest conservation land. The other part of me wants to put a couple dry cabins around and rent them out to campers/tourists/hunters. Idk yet lol.
Me and my family have 10 acres east of Greenville Missouri. Plan on starting a small homestead. After seeing the video and comments on price, I have to figure out another way for water. no way I can pay them prices. I was hoping around 10k to 12k... 2 very close wells near my property, they are at 220ft to 300ft deep.
Price looks a little high but reasonable. I had to go 985 feet in Massachusetts 20 years ago. 10 GPM with 165 feet of casing with the pump all installed the cost was 19500.
Wow I can’t imagine the price for 985ft in Missouri. But Overall we are happy we got good source of water. 😊👍. Thank you for watching.
