Drilling a new well is a major investment in your property, your water quality, and your long-term peace of mind. If you’re considering well system installation in Ocala, it’s important to understand the process from permitting to final inspection so you can make informed, confident decisions. At Bryant’s, we believe an educated customer is an empowered one, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Start With Early Planning and Consultation
Before any equipment arrives on your property, the planning phase sets the tone for a successful project. We always recommend scheduling a consultation with Bryant’s early in the process. This allows us to evaluate your property, discuss water needs, review timelines, and identify potential challenges.
Every home and property is different. Water demand, soil conditions, lot size, and local regulations all influence the design of your well system. By involving our team early, you avoid costly surprises and ensure your system is designed for long-term reliability and performance.
Understanding the Permitting Process
Permitting is one of the most critical steps before drilling begins. In Florida, wells must comply with state and local regulations to protect groundwater and public health. Permit requirements typically include site plans, property details, and proper well placement that is at least 50 feet from septic systems and property lines.
Our team handles the permitting process for you, ensuring all paperwork is accurate and submitted on time. We work directly with local authorities to confirm that your well meets current codes and environmental guidelines. Proper permitting protects your investment and prevents later delays.
The Well Drilling Process
Once permits are approved, drilling can begin. The process starts with selecting the proper location based on hydrogeology, accessibility, and safety setbacks. Specialized equipment bores into the ground until a reliable water source is reached.
After reaching the aquifer, casing is installed to stabilize the well and prevent contamination. The well is then developed to remove sediment and ensure steady water flow. Throughout the process, we carefully monitor depth, water yield, and overall performance to confirm the well meets your household’s needs.
Drilling typically takes one to several days, depending on soil conditions and depth requirements. Our experienced crew works efficiently while adhering to strict safety and quality standards.
Inspection and Water Testing
Inspection is not just a formality—it’s essential. After drilling is complete, the well must pass inspection to confirm it meets regulatory standards. This includes verifying proper casing, grout seals, and placement.
Water testing is also conducted to assess water quality and ensure it is safe for household use. If treatment is needed, we’ll recommend the right equipment to protect your family and plumbing system.
Choosing the Right Equipment
Selecting the right pump and components is just as important as drilling the well. Pump size, pressure tanks, and control systems must match your home’s water usage and well depth. An improperly sized pump can cause low pressure, premature wear, and higher energy costs.
At Bryant’s, we design complete systems tailored to your property. We focus on durability, efficiency, and long-term serviceability so your well performs reliably for years.
