CRAWFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA · 86 MIN FROM OUR GREENVILLE OFFICE
Spartansburg’s logs show few strong wells. Of 119 that record a yield, the median is 10 gallons per minute and only a quarter reached 15 or more, so a well here is usually planned around modest flow. The sample is small, 123 depth logs within 5 miles, which makes your own flow test count for more.

WHAT WE DO IN SPARTANSBURG
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.
Acidic water is rare in Crawford County’s USGS samples: the median pH is 7.8, and 4% of 28 wells tested below 6.5. So a calcite neutralizer goes on a Spartansburg well only when a test shows low pH, with blue-green stains the usual clue.
Depths here are moderate, with half the 123 logs between 57 and 104 feet and the area tied for 12th of 16 Crawford County towns by median. Chatfield drills by air rotary or cable tool, with PA DEP permit assistance.
With the middle half of yields between 8 and 15 gallons per minute, the pump is sized to the well and the pressure tank does more of the work at peak times. A constant-pressure upgrade can smooth the flow once the supply is known.

Depth to rock varies widely around Spartansburg. Of 94 logs that record it, a quarter reached rock by 15 feet, the median is 25, and a quarter went 54 feet or more. Casing usually runs down to rock, so one lot can need far more of it than the next.
Corry Sandstone through Riceville Formation, a Late Devonian run of sandstone, shale and siltstone, is what the map shows at the town center. How deep the hole goes depends on the water it finds, and that only shows once drilling starts. Well drilling sets out the drilling methods and when each suits the ground, and what a new well costs covers the price factors, casing among them.
The figures here come from 123 depth logs, 119 with a yield and 94 with a depth to rock, all within 5 miles. That’s enough to show a pattern, though a median from a sample this size is only a rough guide, and one lot can sit well outside it.
The pattern is modest yields. A quarter of logs gave 8 gallons per minute or less, and the upper quarter starts at 15. A well in that range is set up around its limits: a submersible pump that doesn’t outrun it, and a pressure tank that helps cover peak use. On an existing well, a well inspection measures the flow so the setup can be checked against it.
WATER IN CRAWFORD COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Crawford County, taken 1928–2023, 77% of wells were hard or very hard, 35% carried iron above the staining line, 45% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Crawford County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY SPARTANSBURG 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 Greenville office (854 Mercer Rd., Greenville, PA 16125) is about 86 minutes and 57 miles by road from Spartansburg. Service calls for Spartansburg are scheduled from there.

Beyond those, the rest of the 16 Crawford County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Pennsylvania’s groundwater database (PaGWIS) lists 123 domestic wells within 5 miles of Spartansburg: the median is 75 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 57 and 104 feet. The median well was logged at 10 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 25 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Sometimes. A rock well gains water where it crosses fractures, and going deeper gives it more chances to cross one, but depth is no promise. The driller watches the yield as the hole goes down and stops when it’s enough. Around Spartansburg a quarter of logged wells went past 104 feet, so deeper holes aren’t unusual.
Start by finding out whether the limit is the well or the equipment. A flow test measures what the well gives; around here the middle half of logged yields is 8 to 15 gallons per minute. If the well keeps up but pressure sags, the pressure switch or tank is the likely fix. If the well is the limit, a pump matched to it and more tank capacity help.
