Well Drillers Near Weyerhaeuser, Wisconsin

The typical Weyerhaeuser well penetrates a sequence of surficial sand/gravel, clay or clay/gravel, deeper sand/gravel, and in deeper wells, transitions into sandstone or shale. Most residential wells are completed in sand and gravel aquifers between 30-70 feet.

Detailed Summary

Analysis of well logs in the Weyerhaeuser region reveals a consistent geological sequence. Most wells begin with a thin organic/soil layer, followed by extensive sand and gravel, interbedded with clay or clay/gravel layers. Where wells are drilled deeper (typically over 70-90 feet), a transition to bedrock (sandstone, sometimes with shale) occurs. The most productive sand/gravel zones for standard residential wells occur from approx. 20-70 feet. Deeper high-capacity wells (>90 feet) typically finish in sandstone. Static water levels are commonly between 12-39 feet. The 'Rotary - Mud Circulation' method is standard, and cement grout with steel casing to the productive horizon is typical.
