Well Drilling in Birmingham: local context

Birmingham is hilly, with clay soils, heavy rainfall, severe-storm exposure and a housing mix of crawl spaces and basements on sloped lots.

Most homes inside Birmingham itself are on municipal water, so well drilling in the Birmingham–Hoover area is concentrated on the outer edges of the metro and in rural parts of surrounding counties: new household wells, replacement wells, irrigation wells and geothermal loops.

Local factors include limestone aquifers. Most states license or register well drillers; ask for the driller's Alabama credential, an estimate that explains per-foot pricing, casing and pump costs, and who handles the permit and water testing.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Alabama licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is your per-foot price, and what is included?
  • What casing, pump and pressure tank are quoted?
  • Who handles the permit and water testing?
  • What is your state license or registration number?
  • What happens if the first hole is dry?
