Terms and Conditions
Using Well Drilling Guide
Well Drilling Guide publishes information about water well drilling and a directory of contractors in the United States and Canada. Searching the directory, using the homeowner enquiry forms, basic listings and listing claim requests are free.
Contact contractors directly to confirm their services, availability, current credentials, insurance and suitability for your project. Check the requirements for your property with the relevant local authority and agree the work, price and terms with the contractor.
Listings and accounts
A directory entry shows that a business is listed. Approval of an account claim gives the approved account access to manage the listing. Check any licence information with the issuing authority before hiring.
Enquiries and personal information
Read the recipient information and consent choices shown on an enquiry form before submitting your details. Our Privacy Policy describes how the website handles personal information.
The current offer
Basic listings and claim requests carry no subscription fee. Paid Preferred Provider plans are not open for general purchase. See the current listing and payment information.
Educational calculators and AI assistance
Our well disinfection calculator and its companion guide, pump head and flow calculator, household water-demand calculator, low-yield well storage calculator, and well setback research checker were developed with AI assistance. They have not been reviewed by a licensed well, pump, septic or water-treatment professional or a lawyer. These tools use fixed calculations or dated published references; a visitor's result is not individually generated or reviewed by AI or a professional.
Use these tools for education and preliminary research. Read the method, sources, supported inputs and limitations shown beside each tool and result. Estimates do not establish water safety, prescribe treatment for a particular property, confirm compliance, select equipment for purchase or installation, or replace the relevant authority's instructions or a qualified professional's assessment. Uncovered circumstances require situation-specific guidance.
The disinfection, pump, household water-demand and storage calculations and setback-reference selections take place in your browser. These tools do not send inputs to an AI service to generate a result. The setback checker does not determine whether a property meets current state or local requirements; its dated references may have exceptions or unresolved conditions, and the responsible authority must confirm their application. General website data handling is described in our Privacy Policy. Professional-review status will be identified for a specific version and scope if such a review later occurs.
