Well Drilling in Pittsburgh: local context
Pittsburgh is steep and hilly, with an older housing stock, freeze-thaw winters, landslide-prone slopes and a legacy of underground coal mining in the region; most homes have basements.
Most homes inside Pittsburgh itself are on municipal water, so well drilling in the Pittsburgh 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 frost depth for lines and well caps. Most states license or register well drillers; ask for the driller's Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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?
