TRUMBULL COUNTY, OHIO · 25 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
North Bloomfield sits at the shallow end of Trumbull County drilling. Its median well depth ranks last of 23 county towns, 68 feet against 96 for the county's domestic wells, and water stands high in the bore, 12 feet down in the median log. Flow is the limit to plan around: one well in four gives 5 gallons a minute or less.

WHAT WE DO IN NORTH BLOOMFIELD
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.
With wells this shallow, a bacteria check belongs in the first test of a well here. The county's USGS record gives no iron or hardness figures, so equipment is chosen from your own results, and a Luminor UV unit after filtration treats bacteria if the test finds them.
A new well here usually finishes shallower than the county's typical one: the middle half of 669 logs stop between 53 and 100 feet. Rock arrives at a median of 31 feet, and the casing usually runs down to it and seals before the bore carries on in rock.
The lift is short, since half the logs put static water within 12 feet of the top. Yield is what limits the system: the median is 12 gallons a minute, so the pump is matched to the well's own tested flow rather than to the size of the house.

No Trumbull County town has a shallower median well than North Bloomfield, last of the 23 ranked by depth. The middle half of its logs finish between 53 and 100 feet, where the middle half of the county's 8,197 domestic wells run from 73 to 125, so a typical well here is complete at a depth where many county wells are still going.
Rock is found at a median of 31 feet, with the middle half of logs reaching it between 18 and 56. Casing is at least 25 feet under Ohio's private-well rules and seals into rock, so on the deeper-rock wells its length follows that figure. Ohio Shale, a Devonian black shale, is mapped at the town center. The drilling cost guide lays out what goes into a well's cost.
Static water around North Bloomfield sits high. The median log records it at 12 feet, and the middle half fall between 8 and 20, so the pump has only a short climb before it starts building pressure.
That opens up choices. Where the level stays near the top, a jet pump at the surface can lift by suction, while a submersible hung in the well copes better with a level that drops as the pump runs. Whatever the level, the top of the well matters, and more so on a shallow well: a tight cap and sound casing keep runoff out, and a test for bacteria is the routine check on them.
WHY NORTH BLOOMFIELD 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!”

Ohio’s well-log database lists 669 domestic wells within 5 miles of North Bloomfield: the median is 68 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 53 and 100 feet. The median well was logged at 12 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 31 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
That is common here: one log in four falls in that range. The pump is sized so it never draws faster than the well refills, and a larger pressure tank lets it run in longer, gentler cycles. The water standing in the bore can also act as storage, helping carry the house through a shower and a load of laundry at once.
Depth is only one part of it. Fewer feet of drilling helps, but casing, the pump, the pressure tank and the permit are part of every well, and a slow well here can call for a larger tank. The cost guide on our site walks through each factor.
