Are you in need of a new water well on a new piece of property or is your current well in need of rehabilitation?
Is your well running dry or are you curious where your current static water level is?
Over time casing screens can become plugged with calcite build up or iron bacteria and eventually plug off water from entering the well. In most cases these screens can be brushed and cleaned and the well developed to bring out these impurities. Do you need a video of your well to see what is going on down there?
Does your well produce sand or some other kind of impurity?
Is your pump simply not turning on?

Lamb Drilling is a water well drilling and pump services company, servicing many western states but reside in Utah where most of our work is done. We start with researching the area in which you want to drill a well and look at previous wells in your area, formation types encountered, and static water level. We examine drill depths and acceptable drilling methods for your area and what will give you the most efficient and economical well that delivers a pure clean and much needed water source. With our experience, numerous drilling locations, and drilling methods, we are confident we can provide what you are looking for.
Lamb Drilling performs a variety of drilling methods for water wells. A common method is air rotary or conventional air depending on the formation both above and below ground. We offer two forms of air drilling, both conventional and RC (Reverse Circulation) and two different types of drill pipe both conventional (single tube) and reverse (dual tube).
Drilling with air can be cleaner when not introducing bentonite clay (drilling mud) and allows the well to be developed and cleaned much quicker.
Reverse Air is used for exploration or test holes usually in bedrock. When not in bedrock it can be used with a casing advance system to help keep the borehole open.
One of the most common drilling methods is Conventional Mud or Mud Rotary Drilling. This is an ideal method in alluvial or unconsolidated formations and can help keep the borehole wall intact without caving and provides a wall cake barrier to eliminate water loss from mud into the formation. It is a safe way to complete wells, but the drawback is it takes longer to develop the mud out and clean the well. Lamb Drilling uses a self-contained mud system on site to manage the mud and cuttings produced. It screens the larger cuttings and separates the sand and silts from the well. If you do not have a place for cuttings disposal we simply haul off and away from your site.
Although Flooded Reverse Drilling (Dual Tube with air and mud) has been around for many years not many companies offer it as a drilling method. The tooling can be expensive to maintain and operate but can solve drastic well problems for large wells in difficult drilling formations. It is typically used for public supply wells or dewatering wells. Some of the benefits of flooded reverse drilling is minimal cuttings contamination when sampling, able to drill through loss circulation zones, limiting the mud pressures your borehole experiences with conventional mud and preventing the mud and cuttings being forced back out into your water bearing zones.
All wells should receive some sort of development before pump placement. Airlifting sediments, cuttings left behind, drilling products if any were used, and allowing the water in your formation to come into the well will all benefit your well production. Conventional airlifting is an ideal way to help clean out some of the course impurities left behind once drilling is complete and the well is built. Another more proper way to develop is to use a swab and dual tube pipe to reverse circulate the refuse from the well. It does not create high pressures out into your formation plugging off the very fractures you are trying to obtain water from and helps speed the cleaning process up.
