WHAT WE DO IN FARMDALE
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.
Acidity is the one water measure the county record gives: across 24 Trumbull County wells sampled by USGS, the median pH was 7.3 and 12% fell below 6.5. If your test lands under that line, a calcite neutralizer raises it; hardness and iron need your own test to judge.
Wells here stay short, and drilled rock makes up most of a finished one. Only one Trumbull County town has a shallower median well, and the middle half of logs run 65 to 105 feet, against 73 to 125 for the county's domestic wells. Rock starts 16 to 31 feet down in the middle half.
A quarter of the logs record 40 gallons a minute or more. With static water at a median of 22 feet, a submersible does the lifting, and the pump can be sized to what the house actually uses rather than to what the well can spare.

The bedrock mapped at Farmdale's town center is the Berea Sandstone and Bedford Shale, Devonian rock of sandstone, shale and siltstone. The map shows what lies under the town, not what each well passed through; the driller's log for your own well records that.
The logs do show a thin cover over the rock. Half of 593 logs found rock at 22 feet or less, and one in four at 16 or less. Ohio's rules give a private well 25 feet of casing or more, sealed into rock here, and the rest of the bore is drilled through rock to a median of 81 feet. Planning a new well starts with residential well drilling, including the Ohio EPA permit assistance we provide, and the cost guide.
Wells near Farmdale start with plenty to give: the middle half of 585 yield records run from 12 to 40 gallons a minute. The work over the years is holding on to that.
When a well that used to keep up starts running short or spitting air, the cause can sit in the equipment or in the well. A worn pump or a waterlogged tank is fixed at the surface or on the pump line. Openings in the bore narrowed by mineral or bacterial buildup are what well cleaning addresses. A well inspection helps tell which you have before anything is replaced, so a strong well isn't written off for a fault in its pump.
WHY FARMDALE CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“We bought a new home November 1st, 2024 and low and behold it had a collapsed well. After several quotes, we chose Chatfield drilling, and we’re glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation, and formulate a plan to get the H2O flowing again. Even through the holidays, they did not waiver. Eric their driller worked hard in the brutal NE Ohio cold to pound a well for us. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 18 minutes and 11 miles by road from Farmdale. Service calls for Farmdale are scheduled from there.

Ohio’s well-log database lists 675 domestic wells within 5 miles of Farmdale: the median is 81 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 65 and 105 feet. The median well was logged at 20 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 22 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Many can, going by the yields here, but check your own well's rate first. Irrigation draws for long stretches, so the pump is sized for it together with the house, and watering is best timed away from peak household use. A well in the lower quarter, at 12 gallons a minute or less, may need its watering scaled back to what it can refill.
Not in a way the map can predict. The Berea Sandstone and Bedford Shale are mapped at the town center, not sampled in each well, and the county's USGS record has no hardness or iron figures for Trumbull wells. Your own test answers that, on site or through a certified lab, followed by a consultation on what, if anything, to treat.
