Well Drilling in New York: local context

New York's housing stock leans heavily toward older attached homes, rowhouses and multi-family buildings, many built before World War II, and winters bring regular freeze-thaw cycles.

Most homes inside New York itself are on municipal water, so well drilling in the New York–Newark–Jersey City 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 saltwater intrusion near the coast and frost depth for lines and well caps. Most states license or register well drillers; ask for the driller's New York 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 New York 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?
