Q & A
Answers on the Texas Well Water Map, the Texas Property Water Profile, on-site groundwater surveys, and how Well Water Finders works.
Understanding Your Options
What's the difference between the Texas Well Water Map, the Texas Property Water Profile, and an on-site survey?
Three different jobs. The Texas Well Water Map is a subscription web app for exploring our area analysis across all 254 Texas counties - success-rate patterns, typical depths, and how outcomes are spread across an area. The Texas Property Water Profile is a downloadable groundwater records report for one specific Texas property, purchased per search. An on-site survey is a physical visit to your land, where our patented detection equipment measures groundwater location, depth, and potential volume at the coordinates we survey. Most people scan with the Map, document with a Profile, and survey when they are deciding where to drill.
Can I check groundwater patterns before booking a survey?
Yes. The Texas Well Water Map gives you our area analysis for any Texas property - how often wells in the area came in successful, how deep they tended to go, and how outcomes are spread across the surrounding area. If you want that in a document you can save and share, the Texas Property Water Profile pulls the groundwater records for a single property into a downloadable report. Many people start with one or both, then book an on-site survey when they need site-specific measurements.
Do I need a subscription to get a Texas Property Water Profile?
No. The Texas Property Water Profile is a one-time purchase for a single Texas property, so you can pull one without a Map subscription. You do need a free account, which is where your reports are stored under My Property Water Profile Reports so you can return to them later. Four ways to find a property: street address, GPS coordinates, Property ID/APN, or well number.
How accurate is the data on the Texas Well Water Map and the Property Water Profile?
Both draw on the same foundation: historical drilled-well records combined with 3,200+ of our own on-site surveys. That gives you area-level patterns - success rates, typical depths, and how outcomes are spread across the surrounding area. For measurements at a specific spot on a specific property, an on-site survey is the next step, where we stand behind detection and depth accuracy at the coordinates we survey.
Booking a Groundwater Survey
What does an on-site survey provide?
Our surveys measure groundwater location, depth, and potential volume on the acres you choose, using patented, non-invasive technology. Results are mapped to landmarks on the property with exact coordinates for your driller, and they can also show where no viable groundwater is detected - so you can avoid a dry hole.
Will the report tell me the exact yield or GPM a well will produce?
No. The survey measures groundwater location, depth, and potential volume at the coordinates we survey - it doesn't predict the exact yield or GPM a finished well will produce. Actual yield depends on factors beyond the survey, including local geology, drilling method, well construction, pumping equipment, and recharge rates. The survey reduces uncertainty before you drill; it doesn't replace the drill or the work of drilling and hydrogeology professionals.
What happens if a driller doesn't find groundwater where the report indicated?
Our 90%+ figure is measured against state-filed well reports: among customers who drilled at the specific latitude, longitude, and depth we recommended and filed a report with the state, those reports show groundwater was found 90%+ of the time. If a driller does not encounter groundwater at the specific latitude, longitude, and depth we recommended in your report, please provide the State of Texas Well Report Tracking Number for that attempt, confirming the drill location and depth reached.
Once verified, we will issue a refund for the survey fee paid up to $1,000 per acre. We don't control drilling methods, equipment, well construction, or final well performance, and we aren't responsible for third-party drilling costs.
Do you drill water wells?
No. Well Water Finders provides groundwater detection and analysis - we don't drill wells. Our job is to measure groundwater location, depth, and potential volume on the acres you survey, so you can make an informed decision before drilling. We're happy to refer you to licensed well drillers in your area on request.
Water Stewardship & Responsible Use
How does your work support responsible groundwater use?
Our goal isn't just to help locate groundwater - it's to support better decisions about how it's used. More accurate measurement means fewer dry holes, less land disruption, and stronger long-term aquifer awareness. Whether you're developing land, managing property, or planning infrastructure, better data leads to more responsible outcomes.
Equipment & Availability
Can I buy or rent a Well Water Finders unit?
We're in the early stages of commercial manufacturing, with our first production units expected to be available for lease. These systems will be offered to qualified professionals and organizations - developers, engineering firms, and groundwater-focused teams. If you're interested in leasing, contact us and we'll notify you as units become available.
