WELL DRILLING

WELL DRILLING IS OUR BUSINESS

We recognize that for some of you, drilling a well may be a new experience. We will explain the process to you and strive to ensure that your well-drilling experience is a positive one.

Maverick Drilling offers well drilling services for domestic, irrigation, municipal, and geothermal wells. We’re licensed drillers and pump installers in New Mexico and Texas. If you’re thinking of drilling or have questions about your well, contact MAVERICK DRILLING, and we’ll take it from there.
 

Step 1 – Well Planning

It’s a good idea to plan your well system ahead of time, and we can help with that. You can read about our water wells , then give us a call. We’ll help you determine what type of well you need depending on your planned use, and we’ll supply you with information about how to obtain a well permit.
 

Step 2 – Well Permit

Before drilling, we’ll help you apply with the New Mexico Office of the State Engineer (OSE) for a well permit (this process can take from 1 to 3 weeks).
 

Step 3 – Drill

Once your well permit has been approved by the OSE, we’ll drill your well, install your pump and pressure tank, and tie into existing water lines if you have them. We’ll then file a well report with the OSE.
