MAHONING COUNTY, OHIO · 34 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Around Campbell, where rock begins is easy to predict: the 830 logs within 5 miles put it between 20 and 40 feet down in the middle half. Resting water levels spread wider, 15 to 50 feet in the middle half, and the pump setting depends on that range more than on the well's depth.

WHAT WE DO IN CAMPBELL
Whether you’re on a private well or city water, the same crew handles the water source, the pressure, and what comes out of the tap.
Mahoning County's USGS record has no iron or manganese figures, so there is nothing to go on but a test. Orange or black staining at a Campbell tap points to one of them, and a FerronX Iron System handles both once a test confirms which is there.
Campbell wells need less footage than most in Mahoning County, joint 18th of 21 towns by median depth, with the middle half of logs finishing between 80 and 143 feet. Rock sits a median 29 feet down. Casing runs at least 25 feet under Ohio's private-well rules, and down to rock where it is deeper.
Water rests a median 30 feet down, with a wide spread either side, so pump settings vary from well to well. Yields run 10 to 20 gallons a minute in the middle half of logs, and each pump is sized to the level and flow tested on its own well.

Rock begins between 20 and 40 feet down in the middle half of the 778 Campbell logs that record it, with a median of 29. That is a narrow band, which makes the casing on a new well easier to plan: pipe from the surface into the top of the rock, grouted around the outside so surface water can't follow it down, then open hole in rock below.
The rock mapped at the town center is the Allegheny and Pottsville Groups, Pennsylvanian shale, siltstone, limestone and sandstone. The logs record where each hole met rock; the map describes only the town center. Residential drilling covers the steps of the job, and the cost page sets out what casing and footage add to a quote.
The resting water level spreads much wider than depth to rock: between 15 and 50 feet down in the middle half of 789 logs. For the pump, that range matters more than total depth. A well with water at 15 feet has a short lift; one at 50 needs a deeper pump setting and more lift before the house's pressure is added.
A submersible pump hung below the pumping level suits either, sized to the level and the yield measured when the well is test-pumped. Here, 655 logs record a yield, the middle half between 10 and 20 gallons a minute. A pressure tank matched to the pump keeps it from short-cycling.

WHY CAMPBELL CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“Chatfield Drilling replaced a submersible pump, extended our well casing above ground, and installed a sanitary cap at our farm house. This is our first experience with a well. Both Matt and Sam were happy to answer all of our questions, no matter how small, in a way that we could understand and enabled us to make informed decisions.”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 34 minutes and 23 miles by road from Campbell. Service calls for Campbell are scheduled from there.
Campbell and the municipalities around it: Struthers, Coitsville Township, Youngstown, Lowellville, Poland Township, Poland, Boardman Township, Hubbard, Hubbard Township, Liberty Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 21 Mahoning County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 830 domestic wells within 5 miles of Campbell: the median is 105 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 80 and 143 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 29 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Enough to plan with. Each well-log figure on this page rests on hundreds of logs: 830 for depth, 789 for water level, 778 for depth to rock and 655 for yield. They give a fair picture of the ground nearby, but your own well's depth, rock and yield are measured as it is drilled and test-pumped.
Yes. Along with household, farm and commercial water wells, Chatfield drills geotechnical and environmental wells, the kind engineers and consultants call for on building and cleanup sites. The crew comes from the Cortland office, and the logs nearby, with rock a median 29 feet down, give a first idea of the ground.
