I’m at 7:43... just wanted to stop and say...not confused at all....I love the way you’re explaining it. Thorough takes details. You are patient and clear. Great job so far! 😃
I am a service and repair plumber in northern Ca. Yes, it is crazy here, good common sense is a rarity. Anyway, this guy presented a fantastic video. He is a natural! Love this informative video. 👍👍👍👍
Excellent! Thanks so much for explaining all that, Wendell. That for sure is not the easiest subject by a long shot. Your concern that we the viewer/listeners understand this material is very evident. And that makes you a very fine teacher!!!
@@WendellLeeWellServices HI WENDALL. Did you ever think to mention DOWSING in your video. Almost guaranteed to find water without so much cost. Even some well drillers hire a dowser or have one in their employ
@@michaelcohen9363 dowsing is not 100% accurate especially if done by someone who has not practiced their psychic abilities (we all have them). Here are also people who see an easy buck taking advantage of others but there are some that can actually do it.

Very educational. Thank you. Your videos taught me a lot a out water well system. I used them to educate myself before I contacted a plumber or well company about my recent very low water pressure in my house. I will be looking to see if you a a video on pump installation. Thank you again!!
%hanks for all the info. I am thinking of drilling a new well new well here on Whidbey Island, Washington. I think I can help the driller now instead of getting in his way. Putting the well in first makes a lot of sense. I'll do that, thanks to you. Wish you guys were up here!
Great explanation. I am looking to have a water well drilled and this helps. I will look for the peaks and valleys and aim for the middle. Will need it drilled as I am here in Texas. Hard rock here.
We had a older farmer witch our well in Illinois and he told us if he had a green sapling branch he could of told us about how far down we would have to drill. He witched it in early winter and he was right on the money.
Super helpful. Thanks. I actually have these exact environmental situations on my property and was thinking the same thing but im far from a pro. Also appears I may have a sprung in the draw so logic says get near it but not on it
Water travels through cracks in the rock. I had to drill were Md., Carroll county health dept. tells me. 35 years cable rigs. Hit more water than air rigs and didn't go deep unless neccisary. Drilled many 50 foot wells with lots of gpm. Air rigs blow cuttings in the cracks and produce less gpm.
This is good to know! My existing well only draws .5 gpm and I need 1 gpm. Supposedly, the well digger hit rock. I'm wondering what kind of rig they used. Maybe I should try to go deeper through the rock with a different well rig instead of drilling another site.
The information was very helpful, I just purchased property and have no idea about water underground, going to go in with some neighbors and get a well put in. Thank you very much. Was your symbol intentionally designed to look like the AA emblem? Love it..
Thanks for the practical explanation! If hit good water at say 100' how risky is it to go another 20' to have reservoir and have it disappear and have nothing?
I am in the city on about 1/3 an acre, sloped lot, giant pine trees & about 1/4 mile from a river. Can I dig almost anywhere (providing I don’t hit underground pipes) and expect water???
Can you put. A well under a driveway. I Have a 4 acre piece and my septic is in the back right,and I know it’s got to be 100 ft.I want to keep it in the back on the left instead of in the front under the driveway,but the way it’s all flat and on the left side there is also a creek
You can't tell it because the trees are in the way (12:08)... Maybe it because I grew up in Louisiana, but I CAN see it even on camera. Just looking at it, I would expect about 10 - 15 feet in to have to start planting my feet sideways as I walk. Within 50 feet in, the ground will start getting very soft to where you sink with every step. Makes me miss the days of standing on 1 foot digging your other shoe out of the gumbo-mud hoping you don't lose your balance and have to put your sock foot down in it. Other areas you can walk 50 feet and have 20 pounds of mud stuck to the bottom of each shoe. Yes there were snake and other critters out there that as a kid you don't think about.
Well... that's just a southern thing. Can't you tell by how he talks about the drawl of the land with a drawl. Lol. We southerners know some things are better done slow and... well... that's just how it is. Yall come back now, ya hear.
I'm sure there are different variables but what is the avg price per foot for a water well? I'm located in Texas and started to interview different companies to drill a new well to replace the one we have. Thank you!
prices vary widely depending on the area you are in, geology of the earth below the ground at your site, and the depth it takes to get to sufficient water. An average price would probably be about $20 per foot, just for the drilling.
@@WendellLeeWellServices After post-fake-beer-flu and excessive money printing, that might be closer to $50 per foot. Sad to say but it true and is going to be after our great great great grandkids are gone before we finally recover from this.
I have 1.75 ac in the NorCal foothills. It is sloped with quite a few outcroppings. There seems to be some kind of natural spring above the property that runs down o e side of my property. There have been 3 attempts at placing a well. 2 did not produce and the last attempt only produced. 5 gpm. In Eldorado County a well cannot be permitted for a home build if it is less than 1 gpm. I am feeling pretty defeated. Are there any resources available to accurately locate high water plain areas on properties?
I have a question, please - I live in a community and we are all on a our own separate wells. My neighbor across the street abuses it to the point, he even uses his powerwasher all weekend long and we are on well. 20 years ago our well went dry, we were in a drought, because of them abusing the water table. He seems to have water and we are sometimes dryer. Why is that? We did them about it. His using effects our water table. Any suggestions?
I'm not a professional but I seriously doubt your neighbor was the cause or could cause your well to not or to stop giving water....maybe if he had a 12in pipe and was pulling 2,000+ gallons a day to water his crops. But a pressure washer pulling 5-10gpm I doubt it, unless you have 3 or 4 wells per acre of land. At most I'd think he would just damage his own well..

I listened all the way through- accent hooked me- pleasant as all get out! Thank you for explaining so well 😊
You very helpful, I listened to this video about 4 times, this time I caught yer comment on distance from top of hill to creek, ( halfway).
Excellent video, I'm looking to drill a well on my 44 acre property in Eastern Cuba.
I've found this video very helpful.
Keep up the good work!

Excellent description. Awesome narrative.
Great experience makes for a great explanation on this topic. Opening new ideas for my future well. This beats a handful of willow sticks.
Great explanation. I am looking to have a water well drilled and this helps. I will look for the peaks and valleys and aim for the middle. Will need it drilled as I am here in Texas. Hard rock here.
I totally agree. I went up to my property and dowsed it. ALL of the good spots are in the draws and just off to the sides of them.
You mean you performed witchcraft. Dowsing is no more scientific, nor useful than voodoo using a chicken foot for protection from evil spirits.
Really appreciate the video. It answered questions I had and gives me a place to start. Thanks
this kid is probably the coolest dude ever!!

Witching for water does work.
@@yvonnequinones3972it does not
@infontay really? How do you think people knew where to dig wells before we had modern equipment?
Thank you very much. This was very informative for those of us who are learning.

Can you guys offer your services outside the country? Also are you saying it's not a good idea to try and drill for water on a hilltop?
Best time to dig a well is during dry season, 👌. You will find the real water level and also dig accordingly to the right depth.
Well said. Happy my property has exactly what you stated placement of the well. Thanks
Very good explanation thank you
Thank you for that, what if your on a mountain but there’s swales can I expect their to be water
That was extremely helpful... Thank you..
The trees are a good indicator too where water is running underneath the ground.
Blessed to live in south Florida you can put a well anywhere
Thanks for the practical explanation! If hit good water at say 100' how risky is it to go another 20' to have reservoir and have it disappear and have nothing?

If you make another video. Would you consider turning the volume. On. I can almost hear you on this one. . ??
i agree: on full computer volume, with youtube turned all the way up, still can't hear. interesting topic. pity it wasn't audible.
How would you know if your bladder has a hole if you can't see it. Would water come out were you put the air in if you depress the air stem
Can you put. A well under a driveway. I Have a 4 acre piece and my septic is in the back right,and I know it’s got to be 100 ft.I want to keep it in the back on the left instead of in the front under the driveway,but the way it’s all flat and on the left side there is also a creek
You taught me well today. Pun intended.
Great information . Thanks!
Underground water doesn't flow downhill to streams. It flows in the same direction as the stream are flowing. Roughly parallel.
No. Through cracks that run in every direction
What your take on dowsing to sight a well
You can't tell it because the trees are in the way (12:08)...

Hundreds of feet 😮 I was hoping to be able to do it myself, a little at a time. I only have 1/3 acre, not much choice.
Look up a Sandpoint well
@@reddirtwarrior5956 Thank you, I will ♥
... Away from the septic system and close to the house, if feasible.

Aren't there any laser type devices that can determine if there's water underground? Great video. It's explained very simply and precisely. Thank you.
Sharks with laser beams.

No luck.

@@kristinberthiaume7634 thank you.
Great work, but am confused on PVC connection
Helpful information.
I have a really important question what does it mean when your water is high in Iron ? Will that affect my animals? Growth of veggies.??
Google it.
I just drilled my own well. It puts out 100 gal a day. I'm not real happy with that. Can it still be enough
typically typical ,well said
Any school, college, center for training and learning?
Good stuff👍
We bought a place with a Well never checked the water ...Got it tested...found out its extremely high in Iron...Im so confused.
Can be treated. Lab test. They tell you what to buy, treatment system
Where you guys out of? California?
no we are in upstate south carolina
What area are you in?

Ah....looooove caramellllll!
Damn it, I don't know what a well looks like!
Wish you were in tennessee
It looks like gravity would help pull the water down to where you drilled.
So your best advice is to drill where there is water. Not the other places
I have my volume on 68 and i can hardly hear you... Ad comes on and blows me out of the room
I'm up in the mud country
90 gpm?.....prove it!....
This cat keeps insinuating that surface run-off and settling of water has an effect on deep water wells......it doesn't.

This could have been a two minute video. A lot of extra yammering.

Try head phones, ear buds?
