B&H Well Drilling begins by assessing the site to determine the best location for the well. This includes studying the geological conditions and obtaining necessary permits. The site is then cleared and prepared for the drilling equipment.

Using rotary drilling, a drill bit made of durable materials like tungsten is attached to a connected length of drill pipe. The drill is rotated to grind the rock, and a drilling fluid is circulated to flush the cuttings out of the hole, cool and lubricate the drill bit, and stabilize the hole's walls.

As the drilling progresses, the drillers at B&H carefully monitor the depth of water strikes and the type of rock formations encountered. This ensures precise drilling pressures are applied to penetrate various layers of sand, gravel, clay, and rock effectively.

Once the desired depth is reached and water-bearing formations are encountered, a steel or plastic well casing is installed. This casing prevents the hole from collapsing and protects the water source from contamination. The space between the drilled hole and the casing, called the annulus, is filled with grout to seal it properly.

After the casing is installed and secured, the well is developed and tested to ensure it meets the required standards for water flow and quality. B&H Well Drilling ensures that the well is properly capped and secured, ready to provide a reliable water source for the property.
