What to Expect From the Well Drilling Process
Working with a professional drilling company keeps your project on track from start to finish. Here is a general overview of what to expect:
1. Initial consultation to assess your property's water needs and site conditions.
2. Site evaluation and selection of the optimal drilling location by certified personnel.
3. Drilling and casing installation using modern rotary and percussion equipment suited to the formation type.
4. Pump and pressure system installation sized to your property's flow and pressure requirements.
5. Final water sampling and yield testing to confirm clean, reliable output before the system goes live.
Each Reichart crew member has completed the OSHA 40-hour hazardous materials safety course and receives updated training annually.
Well Repair and Water Treatment
Beyond new well construction, Reichart supports property owners with pump repair, well rehabilitation, and water treatment services. Aging wells can develop reduced output over time due to mineral encrustation, sediment buildup, or casing degradation. The crew uses downhole video inspections to identify the source of underperformance before recommending whether rehabilitation, repair, or a new installation is the right path.
For water quality concerns, the company's licensed hydrogeologist samples your water supply and analyzes the results to engineer a treatment system targeted to the specific issues present, whether that includes iron, bacteria, hardness, manganese, or nitrates. Properties in this part of York County commonly encounter elevated iron and hard water, and the goal is always a setup matched to your actual chemistry rather than a standard product applied without testing.
Why Choose a Contractor With Over 130 Years of Experience
Reichart drills more than 700 wells annually across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. That volume means the crew arriving at your property brings direct, current experience with varied formations, aquifer depths, and seasonal water table conditions. The company was one of only seven well drilling firms nationwide to initially adopt the contractor-employee membership program introduced by the National Ground Water Association, and key personnel attend all NGWA meetings and conventions on an annual basis. Property owners in nearby Manchester and throughout York County have relied on Reichart for the same reasons: credentialed leadership, modern equipment, and old-fashioned customer service.

What types of water quality problems are common in this area?
