MAHONING COUNTY, OHIO · 36 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Wells near Struthers keep to a fairly tight range. The middle half of the logs within 5 miles finish between 81 and 142 feet, where the county's domestic wells run from 85 to 165, so very deep holes are less common here. Rock starts a median 31 feet down, close to where the water rests.

WHAT WE DO IN STRUTHERS
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.
Blue-green stains at a sink usually point to copper coming off the plumbing, which acidic water speeds up. The county's USGS pH samples have a median of 7.6 and none under 6.5, but only from 7 wells, so a test of a Struthers well settles it. A calcite neutralizer corrects acidic water.
Wells here run shallower than most in Mahoning County, 17th of 21 towns by median depth. Rock begins between 21 and 43 feet in the middle half of 914 logs, so casing is a moderate run, and the rest of the hole is drilled rock.
Water rests a median 28 feet down, between 15 and 46 in the middle half, and yields run 10 to 20 gallons a minute. A submersible pump hung below the pumping level, with a pressure tank sized to it, is the standard arrangement.

Of the 976 logs within 5 miles of Struthers, the middle half finish between 81 and 142 feet. Mahoning County's domestic wells spread further, from 85 to 165, and the median here, 107 feet, sits below the county's 120.
For a new well, that points to less drilled footage than in the county's deeper towns, and a narrower band to plan around. It is still a range: drilling goes on until the hole takes in enough water, and one logged well in four here reached 142 feet or more. Residential drilling covers the job, and the cost page explains how footage and casing shape a quote.
Two ranges in the Struthers logs overlap. Resting water sits between 15 and 46 feet down in the middle half of 919 logs, and rock begins between 21 and 43 feet in the middle half of 914. So in a typical well here, the water may come to rest around the top of the rock, near where the casing ends.
That matters when the pump goes in. A submersible pump is set below the pumping level, which is lower than the resting level, so it usually hangs in the open rock part of the hole, below the casing. The yield measured at test-pumping sets its flow. A well inspection checks the casing top, pump and flow on an older well.

In USGS samples from across Mahoning County, taken 1978–2001, 60% of wells were hard or very hard. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Mahoning County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY STRUTHERS 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.”

Ohio’s well-log database lists 976 domestic wells within 5 miles of Struthers: the median is 107 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 81 and 142 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 31 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
In about one log in four. The deep quarter of the 976 logs nearby begins at 142 feet, earlier than the county's 165. A hole goes deeper when it hasn't yet taken in enough water, so depth past that mark reflects the yield found, not a fault in the well.
Possibly, and an assessment comes first. A well inspection measures the flow and checks the wellhead, pump and tank. Well cleaning can restore some lost flow, and a water test shows what treatment, if any, it needs. If the well can't give enough water, drilling a new one is the alternative, and the nearby logs give a sense of the depth.
