A Well Built Around Your Property
Before we set up a rig, we look at where your house, septic system, and driveway sit, check records from nearby wells, and talk through how many people and fixtures the well needs to serve. That tells us where to drill, how deep to go, and what size pump and tank will keep pressure steady at every tap.
We have been drilling home wells since 1984 for families across Okeechobee, the Treasure Coast, and the Heartland, and we travel farther when a customer needs us. Whether you are building on raw land, replacing a well that has failed, or moving off a well you share with a neighbor, we make the process simple.

Where Your Water Comes From
Most homes around Okeechobee draw from the surficial aquifer, a layer of sand, shell, and limestone close to the surface. United States Geological Survey studies of Okeechobee County found that shallow domestic wells are commonly finished at depths somewhere between about 30 and 240 feet, depending on where the best water sits.
Far below it lies the Floridan aquifer, one of the most productive aquifers in the country. In Okeechobee County, Floridan wells often run 750 feet or deeper. They are usually reserved for farms and large users, and the water can be mineralized, so most homeowners do not need one.
We know the local geology, and we will tell you plainly which option makes sense for your property and budget.
Quick Comparison
- Surficial aquifer: shallower, lower cost to drill, the usual choice for a single home.
- Floridan aquifer: much deeper, very high volume, typically used for irrigation and livestock.
- Water quality: iron, sulfur, and hardness vary by location. We test and treat as needed.
- Setbacks: Florida rules keep septic tanks and drainfields at least 75 feet from a private drinking water well.
Off-Grid Option
Solar Wells for Florida Homes
A solar-powered well pump runs on sunshine instead of the utility company. It is a smart fit for rural homes, hunting camps, cabins, and properties where running power to the wellhead is expensive.
We design the system around your daily water use, set the panels and controller, and add storage so you still have water at night and on cloudy days.

Inspections & Maintenance
A yearly check of the pump, pressure tank, wellhead seal, and water quality catches small problems before they leave you without water. The Florida Department of Health recommends testing private wells for bacteria and nitrate at least once a year. We also inspect wells for home sales and purchases.
Jetting & Cleaning
Sand, scale, and iron bacteria slowly choke a well. Jetting and cleaning can restore lost flow and clear up cloudy or discolored water, often for far less than a new well.
