Buying land and building your own home in Hawaii is exciting! However, with many areas in the islands not connected to municipal water, this often means you need to drill your own well.
While it is an investment, having your own, autonomous water source has many long term benefits.
The Major Steps and Factors to Consider are:
- Identifying a Viable Source
- Proper Tools and Equipment
- Obtaining the Proper Permits From the State of Hawaii
- Size of the Well
- Flow Rate
If you’ve decided a residential well is for you, we’re here to walk you through each step. From obtaining the correct permit from the state, to determining the best type of well and the optimum location on your property for placement, we will guide you through the entire process.

Leach Field Location
Proper placement of your well, away from and on higher ground then your
septic system’s leach field is crucial to avoiding bacteria contamination from wastewater. No one wants a contaminated well!

we have the ability to determine the best placement for your well, so it will never run dry. Understanding how water behaves underground is our specialty here at Derrick's Well Drilling and Pump Services!
