usgs has data on water table for states. you might be able to find data near your location to help decide if you have any chance of getting to water

I was thinking of doing this exact same thing on my place but I have lost of clay not too much rock but lots of sticky gummy clay to get through

Yeah I hear you there I'm pretty fortunate here in the city but I do have a property up north that I'm trying to get water on and boy it is tough to find water up there lol

I'm basically just going to save up some money and get a well professionally. But have to wait for prices to hopefully come down let's hope

Looks pretty sandy or soft dirt. Will a sand point not down through it? You've got a great head start!

@bluephaseplus3650 Жыл бұрын

I was actually thinking about that just getting Sandpoint and trying to beat it down. But did not get a chance still scratching my head. Lol

I thinkm you might need some scaffold maybe a few sections and I think harbor frieght has a 2 inch wide auger as well. I thought about doing it this way as Im on a lake shouldnt be too deep my worry is hitting rocks.

I like that idea. Seemed like a lot of sand for me.

Easy as pie in sand... try in a rocky soil. Almost all of these types of attempts are not in rocky soil ie mountainous.

Those pipes you are using are way too long , shorter pipes will make your work easier and safer. Doing the same drilling for years, first by hand, later with an electric two-hand drill with a 1-meter extension handle. Using 1,5 meter square 25mm extension pipes , for quick conecting and enables to turn left and right when you get stuck.

@bluephaseplus3650 5 ай бұрын

Awesome thanks for your help. Was thinking of shorter pipes. Was thinking maybe 3/4". That was 1/2" ridged. I was definitely fighting the long stick s. Out in the woods did what we could

You need to go to 3/4” pipe for the drill stem.

Thanks for the info I'm planning on trying again in another location this winter. Is there a part # for what you're recommending interested in how to get through the clay? Thanks

standing on such height - extremely dangers cause of Kickback in case hitting roots or stone

That water ain’t far about 7 or 8 feet down.get rid of that motor auger and finish it with a Seymour post hole hand auger. it looks like it’s dry there at the time

I live in Staten Island NY and I just lost my standpoint well head down in the clay. Couldn't get the standpoint past 14 feet in the earth. Even built a tripod with 70lb weigh on a pulley to hammer it down.. No luck past 14 feet. I ordered the Seymour auger and it will be delivered tomorrow. Time for me to hand dig my well after the first epic failure.

@bluephaseplus3650 Жыл бұрын

Thanks that's not a bad idea. I may end up trying that. I believe my water table is 80'. So going to most likely have to hire a well driller but price is so high im just holding out for now.
