Estimates are not quotes
The figures on this site are planning estimates built from public records and published rates, as described on the methodology page. They are not a bid, a price guarantee, or advice about your site's geology or water quality. Only a licensed driller who has seen your property can quote your well.
Contractors are independent
If you send a quote request and a contractor contacts you, that contractor is an independent business. We do not employ, license, or vouch for them, and any agreement you make is between you and the contractor. Check the license with your state before you sign. Each state page names the agency that licenses drillers.
Using our content
You may quote or link to figures from this site with a link back to the page you used. You may not copy whole pages or republish the data tables as your own. The underlying well records belong to the state agencies that publish them and remain available from those agencies, listed on our sources page.
No warranty
The site is provided as is. We work to keep the figures accurate and current, but we do not promise that every figure is correct for your location, and we are not liable for decisions made on the basis of an estimate. For the national figures, see the national well cost figures.
