Well Drilling
CalWater Drilling gives homeowners, farms, and businesses a reliable, independent source of clean groundwater for drinking, irrigation, or other needs, whether the job is a domestic well, an irrigation or agricultural well, or a municipal well.
-
Air Development
High-pressure air clears debris and blockages from a well, improving flow, yield, and groundwater quality. We'll develop your well to ensure your water is free of any sand.
-
Well Abandonment
CalWater Drilling safely seals unused or contaminated wells.
-
Monitoring Wells
Monitoring wells track groundwater quality and quantity over time.
-
Dewatering Wells
Dewatering wells lower groundwater to stabilize soil or make room for construction.
-
Vertical Boring
CalWater Drilling also bores large, precise holes for structures like lamp posts and utility poles, a service outside its well work.
From Permit to Water
CalWater Drilling has walked Turlock properties through this same six-step process since 1976, when brothers Curtis and Blake Hennings founded the company. Blake's son Matt now owns and runs it.
Site Assessment
A driller walks the property and decides where the well goes, weighing setbacks and access.
Permitting
The well is permitted before drilling ever starts.
Drilling
The bore is drilled to depth, for a domestic, irrigation and agricultural, or municipal well.
Casing & Sealing
Casing is set and sealed to protect the well from surface contamination.
Air Development
High-pressure air clears debris and blockages, improving flow and yield.
Pump Referral
CalWater Drilling drills and develops the well. For the pump itself, we'll refer you to a local pump company, one we know and trust.
Where We Drill
CalWater Drilling is based in Turlock and serves San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Merced counties, California.
