Water Well Drilling in Washington, NC

New water wells for Beaufort County

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

The water down here comes mostly from the Castle Hayne aquifer, the big limestone-and-sand formation under the Eastern North Carolina coastal plain, and drilled wells in Beaufort County commonly run somewhere around 80 to 250 feet depending on the site. Two things shape the work: near the tidal Pamlico and its creeks, a shallow well can risk pulling brackish or salty water, so casing depth matters — we case past the shallow zone to reach clean, fresh water. And the Castle Hayne carries a lot of iron and sulfur, so orange staining and that rotten-egg smell are common and treatable. A lot of these pumps were set decades ago and are wearing out all at once. When one dies, a household goes from full water to none in an instant, and you want a local crew who knows this ground.
