Our Services At Hub Well Drilling we are proud to offer a variety of products and services to satisfy the water system needs of all customers whether they are residential, commercial or industrial. Well Drilling  A drilled well is a simple concept. It consists of a hole being bored into the earth and down into a water bearing zone. This could be fractures in bedrock or in an unconsolidated sand/gravel deposit. The upper portion of the well is lined with a steel casing which prevents the softer overburden and rock from collapsing in, and also prevents surface and subsurface contaminants from entering the well. The casing is typically seated in bedrock and the water enters the well below the casing. In some circumstances the water is drawn in through screened or slotted casing. We are pleased to offer Air Rotary Drilling.We are equipped to drill wells ranging from 6" to 20" in diameter to satisfy the varying needs of clients.All wells are guaranteed for two years.Click here for information and diagram's of basic water wells. Back Top Page Pump Systems Once a well has been completed and developed a pump is used to bring the water from the well into the house.  The water is then pumped into a pressurized storage tank which is connected to the home's plumbing system. New constant pressure systems eliminate the need for a large storage tank as the multi-speed pumps regulate pressure depending on how much water is being used.We offer a variety of submersible pumps of all sizes ranging from 1/3 to 100 horsepower, as well as ranging tank sizes to suit your varying needs. We also offer small diameter submersible pumps to fit inside older 4" diameter wells. This will provide the greater pressure and volume associated with newer systems installed today.All pumps and tanks typically come with 5 year warranties.We are pleased to offer a variety of products from: Flexcon
Grundfos

A heat pump can provide year-round climate control for your home or building, supplying heat in winter and cooling in summer. Some models can also provide domestic hot water. At Hub Well Drilling we are pleased to offer services pertaining to the "Loop" portion of the Geothermal System. When conditions permit and groundwater is plentiful, an "Open Loop" system is typically the most affordable option. In this situation water is pumped from one well through the heat pump which uses the geothermal energy of the water for heating or cooling, and is then discharged into a second well. This system not only supplies for the heating and cooling of a house, but will also serve to provide the domestic water for the house. In situations where an abundant water supply is not available, a "Vertical Closed Loop" system is another viable option. In this type of system multiple boreholes are drilled (depth and quantity of holes vary based on heating / cooling load), and 1 continuous pipe with a U-bend on the bottom is installed inside. Once the "Loop" is installed, the well is filled from the bottom of the borehole to the surface with a non permeable bentonite grout using a high pressure grout pump. These vertical loops act as large heat exchangers which serve to absorb or disperse heat, depending on heating or cooling modes. These casings and pipes are later cut off below grade and fused together and then piped into the home. The final results of these systems take up no space and can be buried below a driveway or yard.
