Well Worx drilling rig working a rural North Idaho property

Water Wells

From the ground up.

Finding water, drilling it right, and documenting every foot of it — residential, ranch, commercial and municipal.

Start here

Type an address.
Watch the ground answer.

Every well drilled in Idaho and Washington gets reported to the state. Drop in the property and we'll pull the wells around it — how deep they went, how much water they made, what the drillers hit on the way down.

No account, no obligation. Takes about a minute.

  • Recorded state well logs near the parcel
  • Depths, static levels & reported yields
  • A planning range — never a fixed price

What you get

A well is a permanent piece of your property. We treat it that way.

We research before we drill

Recorded state well logs around your parcel tell us likely depth, static level and yield. You see those records before you spend a dollar.

Built to a fixed standard

6-inch borehole into competent bedrock, 6-inch steel casing, 38-foot surface seal, developed and yield-tested before anyone talks about a pump.

Honest about the ground

Drilling is paid by the foot because rock does not negotiate. We tell you the range nearby records support and what happens if we pass it.

Every foot documented

Driller's log, permit, yield test and photos filed with the state and kept in your project record permanently.

Wells we drill

Pick the one that sounds like your property.

A house on bare land.

The bulk of what we drill. One home, one well, sized so the pump never has to fight the well. We site it for setbacks, septic distance, driveway access and the day someone has to service it.

Down the hole

Drag the bit down and see what we’re drilling through.

Surface500 ft

210–330 ft

Fractured bedrock

Basalt or granite with cracks running through it — the cracks are the point.

Most North Idaho wells make their water here. The driller watches for the moment the air line starts blowing water instead of dust.

Illustrative geology for North Idaho and Eastern Washington. Your property’s actual layers come from the recorded wells around it.

Typical ranges, not a quote. Your number comes from the depth the geology actually requires.

How it runs

Water rights & permitting

Will you need a water right?

A drilling permit covers the hole. A water right covers what you do with what comes out of it. Most homes drill under a domestic exemption — and that exemption is smaller than most people expect. Tick anything that sounds like your plans.

13,000
gallons per day
½ acre
of lawn & garden

What this suggests

Nothing ticked yet. A standard single home on its own well usually falls inside the domestic exemption — but the details decide it.

General information, not legal advice. Exemption limits and basin rules change — confirm your situation with Idaho Department of Water Resources.

Understand water rights

Pump Systems

Your well is only the beginning.

A properly designed pump, pressure and treatment system is what turns a drilled well into dependable water at the tap.
