Drilled Well vs. Shallow Well

If you are noticing an inconsistency in the quality of your water supply, the issue could be different depending on the type of well that is connected to your property. There are two modern well designs that many Americans throughout the country rely on for filtered water – drilled wells, and shallow wells. If you are unsure what type of well supplies the water to your home, here are a few key distinctions between the two:

Drilled Well

Drilled wells are the safest and most modern wells we have today. Using intricate drilling equipment, our team at S & J Well Drilling will install a well anywhere from 10 to 60 feet deep, sealing it off with a vacuum-sealed well cap to prevent any bacteria or insects from entering the system. Common issues found during the inspection include mostly internal malfunctions with the check valve or pipe itself.

Shallow Well

Shallow wells are much larger in diameter and are roughly anywhere from 10 to 30 feet deep. While shallow wells are also a common water supply for central Illinois households, issues may arise with the seal cap that is generally not as secure as a drilled well, allowing bacteria to enter the system more frequently.
