Serving the mid-Island
Request a site assessment
Coverage runs across Cedar and Yellow Point, Nanoose Bay, Gabriola Island, and Errington and Coombs. Requests come through the form below, and a useful first reply needs 3 things: the property address, whether a well already exists, and what prompted the enquiry.
What to include
The property address and lot size, whether there is an existing well and roughly how old it is, and what is happening now — a new build with no water, a well that has slowed, a pump that keeps failing, or a purchase where evidence is needed before subjects come off. Any paperwork helps: an old well record, a previous yield test, or a lab panel.
What happens next
The address is checked against published records for the aquifer beneath it, which usually establishes the likely depth band and yield range before anyone drives out. Where a site visit is warranted, access and setbacks are measured on the ground. What comes back is a rate, a range and the reasoning, rather than a single number with nothing behind it.
What cannot be answered remotely
Whether a specific hole will find water, and how deep it will have to go. Those are properties of the ground and no honest answer to them exists before drilling. What the records can do is tell you what half the wells in that aquifer did, which is a far better starting point than a guess and is available without leaving the desk.
If the property has no well yet
A bare lot is the most common starting point and the one with the most unknowns. What can be established before anything is booked: which aquifer sits beneath the address, what half the wells in it did for depth and yield, where the setbacks allow a well to go, and whether a rig can physically reach the spot. What cannot be established is what a specific hole will find. Those four knowns are enough to decide whether to proceed, and they are the difference between a considered decision and a hopeful one.
