Cleanup
I drill with air so my borehole is cleaner, a cleaner borehole creates a well
that produces more water, lasts longer and is more efficient than a well
drilled with water. Everyone else uses water which turns to mud while
drilling clay and plugs off the formation.
Haul off drill cuttings from new well install – $500
Important Information
After I am finished you will need to hire electrician to bring 230V power to
well and a sprinkler guy to hook well to sprinkler system.
My rig weighs 64k lbs. Well needs to be clear of overhead trees. I prefer to
not drive on concrete. The drilling process is wet can cause some mud.
Pricing subject to change.

FAQs
Q: What are the advantages of air drilling?
Drilling a water well with an air drill in the Wichita area is an under-balanced situation versus using drilling mud which produces an overbalanced situation in the borehole. The pressures created in the borehole while using air are less than the natural formation pressure. By not filling the surrounding formation of the borehole with heavy drill mud a water well drilled with air develops quicker, produces a cleaner and more efficient well that lasts longer.
Q: What to consider when deciding on whether to have a water well drilled on your Wichita area property?
While our Wichita water well air drilling services can potentially have major benefits, understand there are no guarantees there is water beneath every property.
- Know your legal description (Section, Township, and Range) and resource the Kansas Geological Survey website (www.kgs.ku.edu). Here you will be able to look up the well logs for your area. This will also help tell the depths and results in your area.
- Talk to your neighbors about their experiences.
- Contact your County, City and State Agencies about regulations and permits.
- Make sure you find a reputable and reliable water well driller with years of experience and knowledge in your area.
Resources
Q: Can you deepen my existing well?
No. I have to move away at least 10′ and drill a new well.
Q: Should I have my well witched?
Yes if you live on acreage that I can access with my drill rig. Witcher Wayne Girrens, 316-712-2435.
Q: Is East Wichita Well and Weninger Drilling the same company?
No. They are two totally different companies. They just happen to be using my last name.
Q: Do I have water under my property?
If at least two of your six closest neighbors don’t have a well that works then there is probably no water in the area. My opinion is; there is no ground water for wells two miles either side of Rock Road from the North end of Derby to Newton.
