TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO · 27 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Flow is the number to plan around in Masury. Half of the 484 local logs that record a yield show 12 gallons a minute or less, and a quarter show 8 or less, so matching the pump and pressure tank to the well counts for as much as the drilling itself.

WHAT WE DO IN MASURY
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.
The USGS county samples cover pH only, a median of 7.3 with 12% of 24 wells under 6.5, and offer no hardness or iron figures. A test of your own well, on site or through a certified lab, fills that gap before any equipment is chosen.
Drilling here is mostly rock work: three logs in four reach rock within 30 feet. The 100-foot median ties Masury for 4th deepest of 23 Trumbull County towns. The Maxville Limestone with the Rushville, Logan and Cuyahoga Formations is mapped at the town center.
Water settles 15 to 43 feet down in the middle half of 508 logs. That range spans shallow and deeper pump settings, so the pump type follows the individual well, and the tank is sized for the slower yields common here.

A well giving 8 to 12 gallons a minute can run a household. The strain comes when demand arrives all at once: showers, laundry and a dishwasher together can draw faster than a slower well refills. Storage on the pressure side helps. A larger pressure tank gives the pump longer, gentler cycles and covers short peaks.
A constant-pressure upgrade, which varies pump speed to hold pressure steady, is another option, and the pump is sized so it doesn't pull the well down faster than it recovers. Pump system design starts from the well's measured yield. The upper quarter of local logs record 20 gallons a minute or more, and those wells need less of this care.
In 505 local logs, a quarter reach rock within 12 feet and three in four within 30. Casing must still reach at least 25 feet under Ohio's private-well rules, and further where rock sits deeper. With rock this shallow, the rest is typically open hole in rock.
With modest yields common, extra depth has a use beyond finding water: a deeper hole holds more standing water, a reserve the pump can draw on at peak times. Local wells stop between 80 and 135 feet in the middle half, and their median runs just past the county's 96 feet. How far to go is settled at the rig with the owner. Residential drilling covers the steps, and the cost guide explains how depth enters a quote.
WHY MASURY 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 27 minutes and 21 miles by road from Masury. Service calls for Masury are scheduled from there.

Ohio’s well-log database lists 535 domestic wells within 5 miles of Masury: the median is 100 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 80 and 135 feet. The median well was logged at 12 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 20 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
By the casing and its seal. Casing runs from above ground down into rock, which three local logs in four reach within 30 feet, and the space around it is sealed so water from the surface can't run down the outside. A sound well cap finishes the job, and a well inspection checks the cap and the casing top on an older well.
A well that once gave more and now struggles may have a worn pump, a failing pressure tank or buildup in the well itself. Diagnostics sort out which. Well cleaning can restore flow lost to buildup, and a pump or tank is replaced where that is the cause. The local logs record yield at drilling, 8 to 20 gallons a minute in the middle half.
