Groundwater survey
questions, answered.
What does a groundwater survey tell me?
It provides interpreted information about potential drilling targets and possible aquifer depths. Drilling and testing confirm actual results.
Can you guarantee water quantity or quality?
These cannot be confirmed by a survey alone. Actual production and quality require drilling and testing.
Where do you work?
WaterFind is based in Rocky Mountain House and supports projects across Alberta and Western Canada. Contact the team to confirm scheduling for your location.
How much does a survey cost?
Canadian packages are $2,700 CAD for 6 soundings, $4,250 CAD for 10 or $8,000 CAD for 20. Travel is additional at $1.50 CAD/km. Confirm taxes, scope and the final estimate with the team. Compare packages and additional-site charges.
What should I provide for an estimate?
Include your property location, intended water use, existing well information and access details.
Can you help with drilling too?
WaterFind works with Fast Hole Water Well Drilling Services. Confirm survey and drilling scope, costs and guarantee terms separately.
Planning your property assessment
Can I send a Google Maps pin instead of a legal address?
Yes. The enquiry form accepts a map link, legal land description, or nearest town and province to start the conversation. Include the property location you want assessed, which may differ from your mailing address. Send your property details.
Do 6, 10 or 20 sounding sites mean the same number of wells?
No. Sounding sites are measurement locations within a survey, not drilled wells or a fixed number of acres. Package suitability depends on the property layout, access and survey plan. If you are unsure, select “Help me choose” on the assessment form.
What should I include for a farm or livestock water supply?
Tell us the livestock type and number of animals, whether the supply will also serve a household, and any existing wells or storage arrangements. These details help frame your water needs; a survey alone does not establish whether a completed well will meet them.
Do nearby successful wells guarantee water on my property?
No. Surrounding well records provide useful planning information, but nearby wells can encounter different conditions. Your actual depth, yield and water quality must be established through drilling and testing. Learn how to compare the evidence.
Does submitting an assessment request book a survey or take a deposit?
No. The website enquiry starts a discussion. Confirm the scope, travel, written agreement, deposit requirements and scheduling directly with the team. The website does not collect your deposit.
