West York sits just west of York City, where established neighborhoods give way to township properties that depend on private wells for their water supply. Many of those wells and pump systems have been in the ground for decades. Reichart drills new wells, replaces aging pumps, and rehabilitates underperforming systems for property owners across the area, drawing on more than 130 years of family-owned experience in York County's mix of carbonate and crystalline bedrock aquifers.

How the Well Drilling Process Works


For West York property owners who have never drilled a well, the process is straightforward when a professional crew handles it:


1. On-site consultation to review your water needs, property layout, and site access

2. Selection of the best drilling location based on geology and setback requirements

3. Drilling and casing installation using modern rotary and percussion equipment

4. Pump and pressure system installation sized to your household or operation

5. Yield testing and water sampling to confirm safe, clean output before the system goes live



Existing wells that produce cloudy, sandy, or low-pressure water are often candidates for rehabilitation rather than full replacement, and a camera inspection tells us which path makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How deep are water wells near West York, PA?

    Well depth in the West York area depends on the underlying bedrock and the aquifer that supplies water to your property. Many residential wells in western York County fall within a typical range for the region, but the only way to know for certain is a site evaluation. Reichart reviews local geology and nearby well records before recommending a target depth for your project.

  • Can you repair my existing well instead of drilling a new one?
