I completely agree with using douser method. My neighbor's brother used dousing to locate my wells. He found three locations on my property using a tree branch. He could tell how deep and what level water could be found.
Sure enough he said this here is your best well. The tree branch was going crazy. He told me to hold it. I did and it almost was pulled out of hand. It was spooky. I believed him and besides he was a Priest. How could I not. The well produced 25 gallons per minute.

Good luck

I drilled last year in Tuftonboro. A guy located the best of three spots by using a douser which had an ok vein at 126 ft and a better one at 250ft. I stopped drilling at 600ft With a mere 3/4 gallon per minute. I spent another $1200 to frac the well and that got me to just over 4 gallon per minute. I don't put much faith dousers.

What rate of flow did you have at 126 & 250?

We just closed this week on an acre next to my parent's place in Sanbornton. We won't be building for a number of years as I have about 12 years left on the job here in North Carolina. We had a septic perc test done during the buying process that passed great. We are very interested in a modular build. We are thinking of starting the building process about 2-3 years out.

Congratulations. Building a house of dreams is very rewarding.

Hello Homewood,
Here is a link to a well established modular home builder in Concord; http://www.epochhomes.com/
I have a good buddy that has a home on the New Hampton/Sanbornton border that was designed and built by Epoch about 10 years ago and he couldn't be more pleased with it! Be aware though that a modular home requires a wide driveway and lot opening for the trucks to be able to maneuver and place your structures.

A great modular home builder. Specializes in green construction and energy efficiency. Finished a project in Tuftonboro using Benson Woods post and beam construction. You can not find a better quality builder!

Benson Woods can manage from start to finish. Extremely reliable contractors.

Just came back from Sugarbush from where I had a tour of the Clay Brook Hotel and Timbers Restaurant. It was so well constructed I thought it was brand new! It is actually over a decade old and constructed by Benson Wood!
