WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE US?
MONEY SAVINGS
Minimize Drill Costs
Drilling contractors charge you for every hole they bore. That means, if they come up dry or with low water yield and have to drill another one, you'll pay for both. Our water surveys have a 95+% accuracy rate, which can save you thousands in unnecessary drilling.
FASTER RESULTS
Less Drill Attempts = Less Time
Primary Water Well Locator's revolutionary method uses cutting-edge technology and proven science to find your water with precision, which allows you to avoid weeks and even months of unnecessary delays.
WATER SECURITY
Get A Regenerative Water Source
Our technicians are trained to find all water on your property, including primary water. Unlike traditional, finite sources of water like ground water and aquifers, primary water is a regenerative, clean, and infinite source of water created deep within the earth's crust.
AND OUR REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY MEANS A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF FRESH WATER IN YOUR WELL
We use state-of-the-art technology to give you a unique and complete view of your land and potential water well sites with our Field Land Survey Reports.

OUR METHOD & PROCESS
STEP 1
MAPPING ANALYTICS
First, we take the specialized data of fracture trace analysis and advanced mapping to build a complete picture of your project site. We work closely with you throughout the process to ensure the site analysis is detailed and clear.
STEP 2
ON-SITE WATER SURVEY
Next, our team will come on site to conduct a comprehensive geophysical survey using the latest technologies of passive seismics and radiometrics. Our unique method allows us rapid survey and data processing in the field.
STEP 3
PRECISION WELL LOCATING
Finally, we provide a comprehensive visual analysis so your drilling company can pin-point drill high quality, high volume water sources on your land. Some people call us "hi-tech water witchers" as we focus on results.
OUR CASE STUDIES
2025 - TEXAS
LAND OWNERSHIP: PRIVATE
CLIMATE ZONE: HUMID SUB-TROPICAL
DEPTH OF WELL: ?FT
-
CHALLENGE
After drilling a dry bore based on a dowser´s stake, we were asked to survey in an area of generally deep water in unfavorable geology.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL
After mud drilling through our zone and saying there was no water, we insisted on proper work out resulting in a double-digit well. That´s why we recommend rotary with top drive to case as you drill until reaching our target depth!
2025 - ILLINOIS
LAND OWNERSHIP: RESIDENTIAL
CLIMATE ZONE: HUMID CONTINENTAL
DEPTH OF WELL: 550FT
-
CHALLENGE
Well next door drilled to 650 feet producing very low quality, sulfur-smelling water. Client´s old well was low volume and quality. PWT operator had less than half an acre to survey.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL
Driller resisted going deep based on results just across the fence. Struck first water from St. Pete sandstone at 500 feet as predicted. Stopped at 550 feet - one hundred feet less than the neighbour - showing a high volume of potable water!
2025 - CALIFORNIA
LAND OWNERSHIP: PRIVATE
CLIMATE ZONE: SEMI-ARID
DEPTH OF WELL: ?FT
-
CHALLENGE
Difficulty topography and granite boulders make this area tough to survey and especially drilling rig acces.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL
Driller struck water at the depth predicted to produce high quality water for the homestead. Client said: "Without you guy´s it would have been very difficult for me to get high quality water in this tough area!".
2025 - MONTANA
LAND OWNERSHIP: PRIVATE
CLIMATE ZONE: HUMID CONTINENTAL
DEPTH OF WELL: 160FT
-
CHALLENGE
In an area of steep gorges where driller find it difficult to get water in volume, Gamma and passive seismic correlated over a deep and rising potential water-bearing fissure.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL
After drilling just 150 feet they struck a fracture that released water at c. 60 psi producing a free flowing well. Quote the driller: "I never have seen anything like this before!".
2025 - NORTH CAROLINA
LAND OWNERSHIP: DEVELOPMENT
CLIMATE ZONE: HUMID SUB-TROPICAL
WATER TYPE: PRIMARY WATER
DEPTH OF WELL: ?FT
-
CHALLENGE
Housing developer used two dowsers but unable to achieve project water for community well. One well went 1000 feet dry bore! Small lot surveys limited by individual lot perc zones.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL
Driller struck water at first stake on the third day of ground surveys, producing project water. Developer reverted to community well plan rather than 23 residential wells, saving $$$$ on drilling costs.
2025 - IDAHO
LAND OWNERSHIP: COMMERCIAL
CLIMATE ZONE: HOT CONTINENTAL
WATER TYPE: PRIMARY WATER
DEPTH OF WELL: ?FT
-
CHALLENGE
Shallow wells in the area showing higher salinity; deeper wells are hit or miss on the fractured granite.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL

2025 - CALIFORNIA
LAND OWNERSHIP: PRIVATE
CLIMATE ZONE: HUMID CONTINENTAL
WATER TYPE: PRIMARY WATER
DEPTH OF WELL: ?FT
-
CHALLENGE
IN an area of single-digit gpm well volumes, ground survey highlighted a strong gamma trend. Passive seismics revealed an excellent structure 150 feet west of the dowser´s stake.
-
RESULT & TESTIMONIAL
Drilling struck water at the depth predicted in high volume. Client said: "I will refer you to all my neighbors!".
