I wanted to share our nightmare turned success story for people who might be considering using Geo-Explorations in North Idaho. My wife and I purchased a 20-acre parcel of land in the Selle Valley north of Sandpoint three years ago. During that time, we have been excavating, perfecting the driveway and road to the house pad as well as forest management. Our next step was securing our well before we moved forward with building our house. October of 2020 we were so excited to have our well drilled and could not wait to find out our depth and GPM before moving forward with our build. It turned out to be a miserable day with a dry hole, no water, money lost and fear of if and where to drill again. Several days after we were able to get the rig back on the property as we had a new location and still some hope as we watched our second try at water. Again, the day ended with a second dry hole, bleeding money and lost hope of ever living on our property. We considered selling, attempting to move forward with purchasing water or trying rainwater collection. All those options were not in our original plans and we were not ready to give up with our well even though it was hard to contemplate paying for a third try.
We were given a phone number for Kelly at Geo-Explorations as a possible savior to find our water location. We were not very informed on the process so hesitantly called with low expectations. Kelly picked up the phone and put me at ease with his confidence and willingness to start right away. I explained our situation and where we were located. Kelly was there the very next day and several days thereafter working to solve the problem. He worked during the pouring rain and muddy conditions clearing trees in order to get accurate readings. He worked every corner of our property to give us the best opportunity for success. I felt like he had a personnel connection with finding that water location and getting us the result, we were looking for. Ultimately Kelly was able to locate the area that was our best hope for water. He staked the area and sent us our water data with a full explanation of what we could expect. Kelly thought we would be at a depth of approx. 60' and get a minimum of 6 or 7 gallons per minute. We had our report in the beginning of November then hit another roadblock when we were unable to secure a drill rig back on the property until potentially summer 2021. So, we would have to sit and wait and wonder for an additional six months or so not knowing.
We got a Surprise phone call from the well drillers the last week of February and they were headed to the property. We were overcome with joy to learn that Kelly was right on the money. We ended up getting a fantastic well at a depth of 58' and 15+ gallons per minute.
The well cost three times what it could have if I knew about Kelly to begin with. The most important thing is Kelly produced and kept our dream alive as we are now ready to start building. Thank you again Kelly for all your efforts!!!

My experience with Geoexplorations/ Aqua locators, was great. Kelly Brown explained the equipment they used and the actual science and geology behind it. They located 2 sites. Kelly staked the sites and explained to me that one site would produce the best, based on the scans and geology. My well driller drilled right on the spot. Between 235 - 260 ft we have a well producing 25 GPM. I would never risk drilling a dry well and the cost for Geoexplorations services was a bargain. Thanks for great service!

Hello Kelly
I just wanted to say thanks for an awesome job you did for us. We drilled right where you placed the marker, and that location produced an amazing 18 gallons per minute.
You provided a quick and professional service when we asked. I could not be happier. In the future I plan to call on you again for this type of service.
You are definitely a 5-star service provider. Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Sergey and Lena Oleynik

Hi Kelly,
Just wanted to drop you a note thanking you for locating water on our property for us. We were very disappointed in the drilling company that came out and supposedly located water for us then proceeded in drilling a "dry hole" at a substantial cost to us.
I wish we had known about your services prior to paying for a dry hole.
Watching you use all of your scientific electronic equipment and then sending all the gathered information in for diagnosis and perfect placement for a well made us feel very confident that we would be successful with our next attempt at finding water.
The drilling company drilled exactly on your mark and hit good water.
You restored our faith in the water locating process!
Thank you,
Gary and Grace

I have 200 acres of mountain land that I needed to locate a well on for my new home. I hired Kelly to use his expertise and technology to help me locate the best spot. With our land being comprised of pretty mountainous terrain, I was aware that the subterranean landscape would be complex and locating water would be very “hit and miss”. I chose one of two locations that Kelly recommended. His first choice was not an ideal location to service my home site. Even as a second choice, the spot he indicated would produce did indeed produce enough water to satisfy my needs. I am confident that his first choice would have done even better.
Thank you,
