Well Drillers Near Fremont, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Fremont area.

Detailed Summary

Synthesized from representative well logs in and around Fremont, the common geological profile starts with a thin surficial clay or mixed topsoil, followed by alternating sandy and clay horizons of various grain sizes. The most persistent feature throughout the region is a thick, medium-to-coarse, water-bearing sand (sometimes with minor silt or gravel), often beginning between 10–20 ft and continuing for 30–60+ ft. Some locations record thin confining clay layers, especially above or interbedded with the sand, but these are not always present. Groundwater is typically found in these saturated sand units. The majority of residential wells are finished at 55–75 ft to reliably reach high-yield zones, with static water levels generally between 16–40 ft below ground. The preferred completion method is rotary with mud circulation, with 5-inch PVC casing grouted with bentonite.
