New water wells for Craven County

Whether you’re building on a rural lot in New Bern, replacing a failed well, or putting in irrigation, we drill and case new wells to North Carolina standards — sited for long-term yield across New Bern and Craven County.

Most drilled wells around here tap the Castle Hayne aquifer, and they commonly run somewhere in the 80- to 250-foot range depending on where you sit and how deep the good water is. Iron is common in Craven County groundwater, so orange staining on fixtures and laundry is something we see all the time. The bigger thing near the tidal rivers and creeks is salt: sit too shallow this close to the Neuse, the Trent, and the sounds, and a well can risk brackish or salt intrusion, which is why proper casing depth matters so much down here. On top of that, plenty of these pumps went in decades ago and they're wearing out all at once. When a pump quits and the whole house goes dry, that's not something to sit on — you want somebody local who can be out here quick.

Local well crews who know the Castle Hayne aquifer, Eastern North Carolina iron, and the salt-intrusion risk near tidal water — and answer when your pump quits and the house goes dry.
