Well Drillers Near Bloomingdale, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Bloomingdale area.

Detailed Summary

Based on surveyed well logs from Bloomingdale and adjacent areas, the typical geological profile starts with a thin layer of topsoil or brown clay, quickly grading to thick clay or clayey silt units commonly ranging 40–70 feet thick. Deeper intervals transition into sand, occasionally mixed with gravel, which acts as the main water-bearing aquifer. Domestic wells regularly have screens set in these lower sands, usually between 54 and 104 feet depth. Most residential wells are completed at 60–70 feet, but higher-capacity and replacement wells may reach 100+ feet to tap more substantial sand intervals. Static water levels for residential use range from 5 to 25 feet below grade, and 10 GPM or greater is commonly achieved in the sand aquifers. Clay dominates the upper and middle intervals; the lower sand/gravel layer is the principal target for residential supply.
