1. How Does Water Well Drilling Work, And What Is The Process?

Water well drilling involves using specialized equipment to drill into underground aquifers to access clean water. At TR Drilling & Service, we start by evaluating your property to determine the best drilling location. Our well drilling teams then drill to the appropriate depth, install the casing and ensure the well is properly sealed and sanitized. Once drilled, we install the water pump and pressure tank system to deliver water to your home efficiently.

2. What Is The Average Price To Drill A Well In The Hill County?

The cost to drill a well varies depending on depth, location and geology, but in the Hill County of Texas, you can typically expect to pay between $15,000 and $35,000.
