drilling rigIt wasn’t too long ago that water surveying mostly involved a Y-shaped stick and a practice called “divining.” It was a simple method, to be sure, but in many ways the ways we searched for water for a very long time didn’t change much. People still used plenty of guesswork in looking for a viable place for a well, whether it was exploratory drilling, guesswork, or still relying on that stick. Thankfully, finding water has experienced a major shift in the past few years, and there is a newer way to find water, help to get access to that water, and savings of time and money with the procedure. That solution is professional groundwater surveyors.

Water surveying is a precise and complicated scientific procedure, one that uses state-of-the-art technology to read seismic movements and determine if there is water hidden beneath the earth’s surface. It requires years of training and experience, as well as a familiarity with how water behaves deep in the ground. To some, it may still look like the ancient practice of divining, but the results are much more reliable and based on real science.

At American Water Surveyors, we take the guesswork out of water location by using a GF3500 water location system. This piece of technology uses sound-waves and seismic readings to determine if water is below, which can help you find water in less time and with less money. Since water drilling costs are calculated by the foot, plus additional costs of casing, pump, wiring and plumbing, it’s important that you don’t waste precious resources in your hunt for water.

First off, our technology creates results, not simply guesswork, which means you will spend less time drilling. Our surveyors and their equipment detect groundwater in ways that were almost unimaginable even a few short decades ago, and these skills and technologies have only improved over time. With careful readings, our surveyors can point you to the best possible water locations with confidence and accuracy, eliminating dry wells.

Once you start saving time, you also start saving money. With less time spent on the laborious job of drilling for water that isn’t even there, you can better allocate your resources to more successful ventures. That means more money spent on things you need outside of a well, since your well drilling costs can be reduced with a groundwater survey. So, instead of guessing and hoping, our professional groundwater surveyors can help you find water more quickly and at a smaller cost.

American Water Surveyors is dedicated to helping people find they water they need at a price that’s reasonable. Using experienced surveyors and the latest water surveying technology, we will help you spend less time and money finding water and more time enjoying a reliable well. If you live somewhere in need of a well, feel free to contact us for more information. It could result in a better well, better water, and a better quality of life.
