What does well drilling cost?
A new residential water well typically runs $5,500 to $35,000 depending on depth, geology, and pump system; the national average is around $9,000 to $16,000 for a complete system. Depth assumptions drive most of the price difference, so get multiple quotes and ask each driller what depth they are pricing.
Those are national ranges. The Well Drilling cost guide explains what moves the price, and local quotes set the real number.
How deep will my well need to be?
Most residential wells land between 100 and 500 feet, but it is entirely local; the water table and geology on your road decide it. Drillers who work your area know the nearby well logs; ask what depths they have hit on neighboring properties.
Before you hire
Before you sign anything: confirm the license on this page is still active with the agency that issued it, ask for proof of insurance, and get at least three written quotes; pricing on this work varies widely by site conditions.
