Rotary vs. Cable Tool Well Drilling: Which Method Fits Best?

Choosing how your new well gets put in the ground matters for your budget and water supply. Well Drilling in Kalamazoo, MI requires a good look at different drilling methods to see what works best for your property. Here is how rotary and cable tool drilling stack up for homes in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Rotary drilling is a very common method used for Well Drilling in Kalamazoo, MI. This technique uses a rotating drill bit to cut through the earth. Mighty Well Drilling uses rotary rigs because they can drill very deep and very fast through clay, sand, and bedrock. The speed of rotary drilling makes it a very efficient choice for homeowners who need a water well completed quickly. Cable tool drilling is another method used for Well Drilling. Cable tool drilling is an older method that uses a heavy bit dropped repeatedly to crush rock and soil. While cable tool drilling is slower than rotary drilling, it is very durable and reliable in certain ground conditions found in Michigan. Mighty Well Drilling evaluates each site to determine whether rotary drilling or cable tool drilling is the right choice. For property owners in Kalamazoo, Mighty Well Drilling provides expert Well Drilling services.
