Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it cheaper to have well water or city water?

  One of the primary benefits of well water is that you will never have to pay a water bill again. While drilling a water well comes with an upfront cost, in the long run, it is much cheaper to drill a well than to use city water. This is especially true if you have a sprinkler system, pool, or a barn on your property, which will require a lot of water each month and rack up a giant water bill if you get water from the city.

• How many years does a water well last?

  Water wells usually last a lifetime! In most cases, your well will not only outlast you but will continue to provide clean drinking water for your children and their children if you pass your property to them. While Calicutt Drilling cannot guarantee the quantity or quality of your water, we can tell you based on our decades of experience that for most of our customers, your well will bring you refreshing and delicious water for a lifetime.

• Is well water bad for your hair, skin, teeth, or home?

  Well water is not bad for your health or your home. Though rare, the most common complaints about well water in the East Texas area are iron concentration, rotten egg smell, and tannins. Thankfully none of these are harmful and can all be treated relatively easy.
