The installation of personal, domestic water wells continues to rise in popularity in recent years. This self-sufficiency can be found in many businesses, too. Whilst we at Borehole applaud this adoption of our industry’s sustainable practices, we also believe it to be essential that your water well drilling is carried out properly. A botched job can lead to both practical and financial difficulties further down the line. A professionally drilled water well, however, can provide the owner with a variety of enviable benefits. Read on to learn more!
Increased Independence
An on-site water well allows for much greater levels of freedom; both financially and otherwise. It goes without saying that by utilising your own water supply, you will no longer be reliant on a private water supplier company, who are likely to try and extort money from you wherever possible. Aside from the initial cost of the water well drilling and the running of the pump, you will not need to spend a penny on water. And whilst there are costs involved, you will be saving a huge sum in the long run.
Ease of Maintenance
One of the leading reasons people dismiss personal water well drilling is that they believe it will require arduous upkeep. We’re pleased to inform you, however, that this is not the case. There are only a few easy things you need to do in ensuring your water well remains in perfect working order:
- An annual test should be carried out. This will allow you to check for the presence of any contaminants, as well as identify any reliability issues or mechanical problems.
- Don’t allow any hazardous materials, such as fertilisers, near your well.
- Check the well cap regularly to ensure it remains intact.
- Ensure water systems, waste systems and any chemical storage facilities, such as septic tanks, are properly separated.
These relatively quick and simple preventative steps will help to make sure no unexpected costs arise in the future!
Looking to the Future
With the feared, yet respected, climate clock forever ticking away in the background of our lives, looking to a sustainable future is more important than ever. With this in mind, it’s worth noting that water well drilling can certainly be described as an ecologically-driven move. Having a well onsite is much more environmentally friendly than having water pumped from every corner of the country.
The feeling of pride and satisfaction a business or property owner will receive in knowing they’re doing their bit for the environment is reason enough to install a water well, but on top of this, did you know a persol water well can help to make you some money? In the same way that loft installation, solar panels or double glazing will add value to a property, so will a water well. When it comes to selling your property further down the line, a water well certainly can’t hurt.
Inexpensive, inconspicuous and efficient, water boreholes provide you with complete autonomy over your own water supply.
