Frequently Asked Questions

In Southeast Georgia, residential well drilling typically costs between $7,000 and $15,000, depending on the depth of the limestone and the required pump size. This price generally covers the drilling, casing, pump installation, and pressure tank. Beasley Well Drilling provides free, transparent estimates for properties in Bulloch, Candler, and Chatham counties.

Sudden low water pressure is often caused by a failing well pump, a water leak in the supply line, or a faulty pressure tank. In the sandy soils of Statesboro and Pooler, sediment buildup can also clog filtration systems. We recommend a professional diagnostic to prevent complete system failure and ensure your pump is sized correctly for your home's demand.

You likely need a well pump replacement if you experience no water at the tap, sputtering faucets (air in the lines), or unusually high electric bills from a pump that won't stop running. While some issues like pressure switch failures are repairable, a pump older than 15 years often requires a full replacement to restore reliable water service.

Yes, many Georgia residents prefer well water because it has no monthly water bills and is free from city-added chemicals like chlorine and fluoride. Because it is filtered naturally through local limestone, well water is often rich in beneficial minerals. However, we recommend annual testing to ensure your private well remains free of bacteria and contaminants.

Yes, water well construction in Georgia must be performed by a licensed contractor and comply with the Georgia Water Well Standards Act. While specific permit requirements vary by county (Bulloch vs. Chatham), Beasley Well Drilling handles the regulatory paperwork to ensure your limestone deep well is legal and meets all state health and safety codes.

A typical residential well in the Statesboro area can be drilled in one to two days. The entire process, including the pump installation and connecting the system to your home or irrigation lines, is usually completed within three business days. We use modern equipment to ensure a fast, clean installation with minimal disruption to your property.

Absolutely. Many of our clients in Metter and Statesboro use a single limestone deep well for both household needs and large-scale lawn or agricultural irrigation. We specifically design these systems with high-capacity pumps and larger pressure tanks to ensure consistent water flow even when multiple zones are running simultaneously.

According to Georgia state regulations, a private well must be a minimum of 100 feet away from any septic tank or drain field. This "setback" is critical to prevent groundwater contamination. Our technicians conduct a thorough site survey of your Statesboro or Pooler property to determine the safest and most efficient location for your new well.

A limestone deep well taps into the Floridan Aquifer, a massive underground water source protected by layers of rock. These wells provide a much more reliable and cleaner water supply than shallow "bored" wells, which are more susceptible to drought and surface contamination. We specialize in these deep-well systems to ensure long-term water security.
