Primarily, there are three types of private drinking water wells: dug, driven, and drilled. House To Home Inspections inspects all of these types.

Ohio Private Well Inspector

Dug Well Inspector - Home Inspection Services

Dug wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe. Historically, a dug well was excavated below the groundwater table until incoming water exceeded the digger’s bailing rate. The well was then lined (cased) with stones, brick, tile, or other material to prevent collapse. It was covered with a cap of wood, stone, or concrete. Since it is so difficult to dig beneath the ground water table, dug wells are not very deep. Typically, they are only 10 to 30 feet deep. Being so shallow, dug wells have the highest risk of becoming contaminated. To minimize the likelihood of contamination, your dug well should have certain features. These features help to prevent contaminants from traveling along the outside of the casing or through the casing and into the well.

Driven Well Inspection Serving Middletown & Southern Ohio

Like dug wells, driven wells pull water from the water-saturated zone above the bedrock. Driven wells can be deeper than dug wells. They are typically 30 to 50 feet deep and are usually located in areas with thick sand and gravel deposits where the ground water table is within 15 feet of the ground’s surface. In the proper geologic setting, driven wells can be easy and relatively inexpensive to install. Although deeper than dug wells, driven wells are still relatively shallow and have a moderate-to-high risk of contamination from nearby land activities.

Drilled Well Inspection - Certified Inspector

Drilled wells normally have narrower holes (4 to 10 inches around) and are deeper; ranging in depth from less than 100 feet to more than 1,000 feet. They can be identified by a pipe, ranging 4 to 10 inches in diameter, sticking about 8 to 12 inches out from the ground with a flat or rounded cover on top.
