Our Commercial Well Drilling Process
1. On-Site Consultation
We meet you at the property, review your projected peak demand, and talk through where the well, pump, and any storage should go. There is no charge for the consultation, and you do not pay anything until you approve a written estimate.
2. Well Design and Written Estimate
Based on your demand and the local geology, we design the well: target depth, casing diameter, screen interval, and the pump and controls that go on it. You get a line-item estimate covering drilling, casing, development, pump, and tie-in so there are no surprises.
3. Drilling, Casing, and Grouting
When your Start Card is in hand, we mobilize. Our rotary rigs complete most commercial wells in seven to twelve days on site. We set and grout the casing to protect the aquifer and document the formation log the whole way down.
4. Development and Yield Testing
A commercial well has to be cleaned out and tested under load before a pump goes in. We surge, airlift, and pump the well clear, then run a step-drawdown test to confirm the long-term sustainable yield we size your pump around.
5. Pump Installation and Tie-In
We install the submersible or turbine pump, set the column pipe, run the wire, and connect the discharge. Once your electrician energizes the panel, we start the system, verify flow at the wellhead, and walk your team through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial well cost in Utah?
Commercial and industrial wells in Utah typically range from $20,000 to over $100,000, and they vary widely because the demand varies widely. A small commercial building well can be close to a large residential well, while a high-capacity industrial or multi-well system runs much higher. We give a detailed, line-item quote after a site assessment.
How deep are commercial and high-capacity wells?
Most commercial wells in Utah are 200 to 800 feet deep, sometimes deeper, with larger casing than a home well so a high-volume pump can be set. The exact depth depends on your peak demand and the aquifer in your area. We design each well around the flow rate your operation actually needs.
How long does a commercial well take to drill?
Most commercial wells take seven to twelve days on site, including drilling, setting and grouting the casing, well development, and a yield test. Pump installation and electrical hookup usually happen in a separate window. Depth, geology, and weather can extend the timeline.
Do commercial wells need special water rights or permits?
Yes. Every commercial well in Utah requires an approved water right and a Start Card from the Utah Division of Water Rights before drilling. Commercial and industrial rights are handled differently than domestic rights. We do not file the paperwork for you, but we tell you exactly what the state needs before our rig shows up.
Can you drill multiple wells or a high-capacity system for a large operation?
Yes. For large campuses, industrial sites, and high-demand operations we design multi-well systems and high-capacity single wells with the casing and pumps to match. We size the whole system — wells, pumps, storage, and controls — around your peak demand so it keeps up during your busiest season.
Do you offer emergency service for businesses?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service for businesses because a water outage can shut down an operation. If a commercial pump fails or a well starts losing yield, call us and we will get a crew out to diagnose and get you back online as quickly as possible.
