Questions
Which states does the search cover?
The search reads the official drilling records of 35 states live from your address. For a state we do not search yet, it sends you to that state's records agency.
Why is the closest match sometimes a neighbor's well?
The search finds drilling records near your address, not records filed under your name. A neighbor's well can sit closer to the map point than yours, and old records often carry only a rough location. Check the site address and the completion date before you trust a match.
How do I know a record is for my well?
Compare it with what you can see. The site address should match, the completion date should fit the age of the house, and the casing size should match the pipe at your wellhead. Many records link to the agency's own record page, where the owner name at drilling is listed.
Why does the search ask for my email?
The search first shows how many records sit near your address and how far the nearest one is. An email address unlocks the record numbers: depth, casing size and water level.
Is the water level on the record my water level today?
No. It is the depth to water measured when the well was drilled. Water levels rise and fall with season, drought and use, so a well pro has to measure today's level.
