“Water Well Drilling: We Find Water Where No One Else Does”
We arrived on a property where five or six wells had already been drilled to a combined depth of 2,500 to 3,500 ft.
All of them were dry or nearly dry—completely unusable. Colleen Roberts told us where to drill, and within 120 ft., we were getting 15 gallons per minute!
It Was Unbelievable!
“I’ve been working with Colleen for several years, and that’s not the only time it’s happened. We go to quite a few properties with dry wells, and the results are always the same when drilling on her sites.”
– Derek McGladdery,
BC Well Driller
Those Two Dreaded Words... "Dry Well"
Groundwater provides drinking water for more than one-quarter of British Columbia residents, accounting for approximately 9% of the Province’s total water consumption.
But if you’re not on municipal water, “dry well” may well be the two most dreaded words you’ll ever hear as a property owner. With thousands—or tens of thousands—of dollars spent drilling wells at $90/ft or more, failure to find water can put your family and livelihood at risk and decimate your property value.

Drilling to Disaster: How Random Well Drilling Can Burn $100K and Leave You High and Dry
“We drilled wells at three locations on our Parksville property on Vancouver Island at the cost of $33,896.76. The first well was completely dry, while the second and third wells, which supply our potable water, could only produce 0.5 and 1.0 gallons per minute (GPM), respectively.
After our irrigation wells dried up, we drilled the fourth well at the cost of $7,381.50, but it was also dry!
“This case study exposes how the desperate search for water on Vancouver Island turned into an expensive ordeal. At today’s 2025 water well drilling costs, this Vancouver Island well drilling contractor’s haphazard drilling spree would have burned through nearly $100,000, leaving nothing but a property scarred with dry wells—and still no water source in sight.”
A good friend in the real estate world, Richard Goldney, recommended that we contact Colleen Roberts.
Colleen came over from the mainland and walked our entire property with her dowsing tool before concentrating on only two specific locations on our entire property.
I was with Colleen and watched the water well dowsing being done and was amazed by both her procedure, confidence, and the results.
Looking back, I wish that we had found Colleen back when we were building our home.
Aside from the thousands of dollars that would have been saved, I truly believe that we would have only two wells on our property, one for our home and one for our irrigation needs.”
Drillin' & Humble Pie: How a Canadian Dowser Made This Old Driller Eat Crow
Let me tell ya somethin’ about Colleen Roberts up there in Canada – she’s got most drillers scratchin’ their heads, and I love it. Been pushin’ drill bits through rock longer than most folks’ve been alive, and I’ve seen all kinds come and go.
I watched that dowsin’ woman out there with them rods, movin’ quiet-like across the ground – and them things just dance in her hands when she hits water. That woman’s got a gift most folks don’t understand, and it drives them other drillers plumb crazy watchin’ her hit water while they’re still out there drillin’ dry holes and burnin’ diesel.
She’s different. “Drill where the water is,” she says, “and you can forget about all that fancy frackin’ business.” And you know what? After 60 years in this game, I’d bet my last drill bit she’s right.
Now, most drillers – they don’t wanna hear it. Course they don’t! They’re too busy countin’ their dry hole dollars to listen. But I’ve watched her work, readin’ the ground like it’s got signs posted all over it.
Makes the rest of us look like we’re just out here playin’ pin the tail on the donkey with our drill rigs. Been doin’ this since before these young bucks could tell a water table from a kitchen table, and I’m tellin’ you – that woman’s got somethin’ special. She sees what we’re all missin’, plain as day, while the rest of the industry’s just pokin’ holes and prayin’.

"Colleen Roberts Seemed to Good to Be True"
“My husband had passed, and I wanted to sell my ranch, but I was desperate to find water since the spring that had been running my whole life dried up. I had a lot of anxiety wondering how I could sell my property with two homes and no water.
My son-in-law found Colleen Roberts online. She reassured me if there was water, she would find it. I was skeptical at first.
“Colleen Roberts seemed too good to be true. BUT SHE WAS TRUE!”
The well driller positioned precisely on Colleen’s stake and found me 15 gallons a minute at 90 feet for the house. The driller said he could not remember the last time or if he had ever drilled a dry hole on one of Colleen’s stakes!”
BC Water Well Drilling: What Does It Cost to Drill a Well?
Answer: When drilling a water well, you won’t know the final price until you either hit water—or end up drilling a dry well.
Drilling a water well in British Columbia in 2025 may cost upwards of $85 to $100 per cased foot. If you’re going to drill, you need to know where to drill before a well driller arrives on site! The cost to drill for water varies depending on the location, depth, and typical costs associated with drilling a well.
Some BC well drillers have a fixed minimum price for the first 100 feet, with a price per foot for anything beyond that. If you’re in a remote or difficult-to-reach area, additional costs may apply.
“I’ve heard story after story of people spending thousands of dollars in British Columbia on water well drilling—some spending most of their savings trying to find water on their properties.”
– Evelyn Bedard, Bedard Ranch, Hefley Creek, BC
Additional Water Well Drilling Costs
There will be other water well drilling costs for well construction items; there is the annular seal, drive shoe, well cap, well liner if required, maybe a stainless steel screen, and time invested for water well development. Well drilling costs vary depending on how the well is constructed, but the cost to drill a well should be itemized in the estimate provided.
Drilling a productive water well also means having a trench dug for the power and waterline, along with investing in a water pump and pressure system sized according to the well’s depth and flow. Colleen Roberts is able to provide a detailed well drilling cost estimate along with a submersible well pump installation. Estimates for the cost to drill a well are best requested online. Complete the well drilling cost estimate request form and you’ll hear from Colleen’s office shortly.
Drilling for water is essential for many property owners; it can be a costly long-term investment. Random drilling will often be a poor decision. Colleen’s best advice is to not drill until you know where you are most likely to find water on your property.

How Does a BC Water Well Driller Find Water?
British Columbia’s leading water well drillers share a common practice—they partner with Colleen Roberts. Their exceptional success rates stem from respecting her expertise and following her guidance precisely. Colleen carefully selects her drilling partners, working only with those who understand that finding water requires both precision and patience.
Her unwavering commitment to each drilling project sets her apart. The best drillers in BC know this, which is why they defer to her judgment rather than relying on conventional assumptions. It’s this collaboration between Colleen’s water location expertise and skilled drilling execution that delivers consistent results.
Traditional wisdom suggests water follows predictable patterns—gathering in valleys, flowing near rivers, and pooling in low-lying areas. However, groundwater often defies these surface-level expectations. Ancient underground streams, shaped during mountain formation, can surface as springs on peaks while seemingly promising riverside locations yield nothing but dust. Surface indicators—whether soil composition or rock formations—often tell an incomplete story about the water flowing beneath.
Understanding this complex underground reality is why BC’s most successful drillers trust Colleen’s methodology over costly guesswork. Their high success rate comes from this disciplined approach to water location, guided by Colleen Roberts’s expertise.
“We’ve heard many stories of dry wells drilled on local properties in the Pemberton area, and the property owner still pays a huge bill! There doesn’t seem to be any real pattern for wells; some are 500 ft deep, others are 100 ft; some have a really high water output, and it seems they’ll never dry out, while others drain so quickly your pump could get damaged if it runs dry.”
– Sebastian Delarosa, Darcy, BC
Different Ways to Find Water for Drilling Water Wells in British Columbia - "The Water Finder"
While geologists may use available data and experience to identify the general area where water may be found, it’s still a hit and miss when it comes to drilling.
With water well drilling potentially costing tens of thousands because of the unknowns, some water well drillers may use different ways to help find groundwater prior to drill a well.
Water Well Drilling - What are Water Surveys?
Aquifers exist throughout British Columbia wherever saturated rock or sediment in which groundwater can readily move is present. The BC Government maintains a Groundwater Wells and Aquifers database allowing well drillers to find groundwater and water levels based on data collected from observation wells throughout the Province using an interactive map.
However, just because the database says groundwater exists somewhere under your property doesn’t necessarily mean you can drill anywhere you choose and hit water within 100 feet of the surface. Although the water may be present, underground water sources are often scarce, typically flowing in various directions through fractured bedrock up to several hundred feet below the surface.
While geologists may use available data and experience to identify the general area where water may be found, it’s still a hit and miss when it comes to water well drilling.
“I contacted a local water well drilling company. They came to the property, and—without even getting out of the truck—the guy said it was going to be easy. He told us to mark wherever we wanted the wells, and he would drill until we found water. At $85 a drilled foot, with and with no guarantee of finding water, it wasn’t an option I liked!”
– Sebastian Delarosa, Darcy, BC
Water Well Drilling - What is Seismoelectric (Seismic) Technology?
“I was ready to pay the price, but seismic water detection only works with some types of soil. There can’t be any gravel on the ground, and sometimes large, buried boulders produce misleading information. Ninety percent of the property needs to be accessible by vehicle; the ground must have the right amount of moisture—not too much, not too little. And they don’t take any responsibility if we drill a dry well!”
– Sebastian Delarosa, Darcy, BC
“We’d been hauling water for many years, so we hired a seismic water-finding firm, “The Water Finders,” out of Calgary. They tested six locations on the property. None were very promising, and it still cost us about $7,000. We then drilled three wells with three different well drillers to depths of around 700 feet each, costing us to the tune of approximately $60,000 and that was not at the current 2025 well drilling costs in British Columbia. And guess what? They were all dry!”
– Zane Blackmore, Vernon, BC
How is Hydrofracturing Used for Water Well Drilling in British Columbia?
Hydrofracturing involves injecting high-pressure water via the well into the bedrock formation immediately surrounding it, hydrofracturing aims to widen and extend existing fractures in the bedrock, thereby enlarging the network of water-bearing fractures supplying the water well. Initially developed for the oil and gas industry, proponents claim hydrofracturing eliminates the expense of drilling new wells by cost-effectively increasing the yield of existing wells.
Hydrofracturing is complex, potentially dangerous, and expensive. Only well-drilling contractors who specialize in this technique and have the proper equipment—such as borehole cameras for locating fractures within the bedrock—should be considered. Reputable professionals should be able to provide some indication of the likely results given the local geological setting.
However, remember that increased well yield immediately after hydrofracturing is not an accurate measure of success due to the volume of water injected into the well. Yield tests should only be done once conditions have returned to equilibrium, which may take days or even weeks. Moreover, the usefulness of proppants—small beads jammed into open cracks in the rock to increase yield—to sustain water output following well stimulation is currently unknown due to a lack of data.
There’s got to be a simpler way!
Colleen Roberts has been involved with the drilling of thousands of wells over a 33-year span and has not hydrofracked a single well; her theory is really simple:
When I asked her about her thoughts on fracking water wells, she stood there and looked at me for a moment and finally said, “Andrew, would it not make more sense to just drill a well where you are most likely going to hit water? Then the costly process of hydrofracturing water wells would never be required.” In fact, Colleen doesn’t even know what a fracking machine looks like; she has never seen one!
Colleen just literally seems to read the land somehow, and then she explains what she sees. When she is scanning the ground with great concentration, she will suddenly look up and recognize certain trees. I don’t know why the trees matter so much or what they do.
Colleen told me it took her 25 years to figure out the connection with the trees; it may have been the most interesting interview I’ve ever done.
– Andrew “Cottage Life Magazine”
“Colleen Roberts pinpointed a location for well drilling on our Coldstream Creek land, yet we harboured some skepticism due to the location’s close proximity to our power and water lines leading to a dry well! She asked us to move them as they were in the way for drilling a new water well, and she said we didn’t have many options
She was completely unfazed by the dry holes that had already been drilled near her pin that she placed into the ground wrapped with that famous pink ribbon.
We drilled at the exact location Colleen indicated right on that pin, and we were overjoyed to achieve 25 GPM at approximately 200 feet! Not only that but she located this water just a few feet from a 500′ dry hole that we had previously drilled and paid full price for. After all that we had been through hauling water for so many years as we kept searching for water on our land.
All the wasted money with one failed drilling attempt after another, using other dowsers too. Then finally finding Colleen, it’s been a life-changing experience for us.
Never drill for water without Colleen Roberts; that’s all I can say! We have been told that she is considered to be the best in the world at what she does; I would not be surprised if she is.”

Water Well Drilling & Water Dowsing
Water Well Drilling with a Water Dowser
Groundwater is found in the cracks and spaces in rock, sand, and soil. As it moves slowly through these geologic formations, the trace amounts of energy released can be detected by professional water dowsers. The more sensitive the dowser’s physiological makeup, the better they are at finding water instead of dry wells.
No one knows precisely why dowsing works—or why some dowsers are better at it than others. Many people dismiss dowsing as unscientific, ignoring these three inconveniently significant facts:
- it works
- it’s replicable
- it’s independently verifiable
“As a certified BC well driller, I’ve typically been skeptical about water dowsing for a few reasons. First, I consider myself a pragmatic person; if you can’t show me the science behind how it works, I’m going to assume it doesn’t. Secondly, I’ve had some pretty dismal experience working with other dowsers in the past, and lastly, most of the dowsers I’ve met are what I consider to be a bit on the eccentric side.”
– Doug McConkey, Certified BC Water Well Driller
Why Do So May Property Owners Hire Water Dowsers?
Water Well Drilling is a significant investment running into the thousands of dollars—with unknown results. Understandably, many landowners are hesitant to invest without first obtaining a professional opinion. They want to reduce the risk of drilling a dry well by finding the one way that— with the right dowser—allows them to drill with the confidence of finding water of adequate quantity and quality.
That’s why so many people take the time to search out reputable, expert dowsers with a long, proven track record. They frequently want to drill a successful well close to their house where a drilling rig can easily be set up and where the cost of installing water lines and electrical conduits is much less costly,
“Not everyone understands water dowsing – water witching or even thinks it valuable or credible. Among my neighbors who have found water without dowsing, even I can see from the lay of the land they probably could have drilled anywhere and found water. That’s great if you have land like that, but if not, I believe you’re taking a gamble, and dry wells are often the result.
Water Witcher Colleen Roberts combines the somewhat mysterious but time-honoured practice of water dowsing, also know as witching a well for water with the science of hydrology, and that combination seems to bring guaranteed results. As our new water well was being drilled, the water well drilling crew told me that in 25 years of working with Colleen, she had never been wrong in where to drill. She has a lot of knowledge and handled our project incredible well

There are Water Dowsers—Then There's Colleen Roberts
What makes Water Dowser Colleen Roberts different?
Despite over 33 years of experience, Colleen hasn’t been studied as Usain Bolt has. Still, her results indicate a highly sensitive physiological makeup perfectly in tune with her profession as a water dowser, also referred to as a Waterfinder, Water Witch, or Witcher.
Read what her clients and water well drillers have to say about having Colleen dowse their well for water—and then decide for yourself, she truly stands alone at the very top of her profession.
It would take a fool to deny Usain Bolt the title of The World’s Fastest Man! The Jamaican legend is the only sprinter—man or woman—to win the gold medals in the 100m and 200m races at three consecutive Olympics. Despite his massive frame (he’s 1.95m tall and weighs 94kg), Bolt launches himself from the blocks with superhuman explosiveness.
What makes Usain Bolt the greatest sprinter of all time? Physiology.
Humans have two types of muscle fibers—slow-twitch and fast-twitch. While slow-twitch fibers are typically used during activities requiring endurance, fast-twitch fibers are put to use with fast, explosive motions.
Bolt possesses a disproportionately large amount of fast-twitch fibers in his lower body, giving him his lightning speed in short sprints. His legs, however, have a higher proportion of fast-twitch to slow-twitch fibres than the average man, giving him the edge with extraordinary genetics combined with intense training.
“I’ve been working with Colleen Roberts for several years and have managed to make wells out of at least 95% of the sites she’s dowsed for water.
That’s amazing when you consider that Colleen typically gets asked to dowse for water on properties either in an area commonly known for having very little water or where the property owner has already drilled one or more dry holes on the property.
In the past, we would pull up to these problematic properties expecting the worst but hoping for the best. Now we’re drilling significantly fewer dry holes compared to our competitors.
My only explanation as to why our success rate is so high in areas notorious for having no water is that we’re setting up on locations that Colleen Roberts has selected!”
– Doug McConkey, Certified BC Water Well Driller
“Colleen Roberts—A Blessing to many.”
“Colleen seemed too good to be true”
“One of the Best Investments
I've Ever Made!”
“After calling every well drilling contractor in the Fraser Valley and throughout the Lower Mainland, not even one local water well drilling company was willing to come and look at our Whonnock property—never mind drill for water because of all the dry wells throughout the area. I gave up, moved to a cistern system, and hauled water for the next three years.
I would highly recommend Colleen Roberts for water well drilling in Whonnock or the Fraser Valley area and to take any well drilling advice she offers, she really knows how to site a well for water.
“Drilling a Well for Water
Without Colleen is Not an Option.”
“Dowser Colleen Roberts
Located So Much Water On Our Land!"
“Colleen is Precise
When Siting a New Well”
Our Mission property had three water wells when we purchased it. The deep drilled well on the property produced only the slightest trickle of undrinkable water. One of the other two shallow dug wells was completely dry, and the other produced an adequate amount of water only seasonably. Without Colleen’s professional experience, we could have drilled another dry well on our land, which we couldn’t afford.
Would we recommend Colleen’s Roberts dowsing and well drilling services to others? Yes, we would and have done so.”
– Jim Bird, Mission, BC
“Colleen Roberts Found Us Water In Clinton”
“When drilling a well in Clinton, BC we had a wonderful experience with our water dowser Colleen Roberts.
Colleen drove to Clinton and not only found us plenty of terrific water, but when dowsing for our water well Colleen ensured us that both of our neighbors water wells would not be compromised by our new water well.
She cared for our neighbors as much as she did for us. We were pleased she took time to confirm that our neighbors were safe when we drilled a well on our new property in Clinton as we had never drilled a well before.
If you are drilling a water well in the Cariboo of British Columbia we would have no hesitation recommending Colleen Robert’s well dowsing service to new customers.
Thank-you Colleen, we appreciate you!”

“From Dry Well
To Big Water In The Cowichan"
“Living on acreage in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island and loving gardening is wonderful until you irrigate yourself right out of water and end up with a dry water well in the middle of summer.
Our ten-year-old water well had given up the ghost and we were at a loss at how to go about finding the best well drilling company in Duncan on Vancouver Island to do the job of drilling us a new water well, we knew that well drilling is costly, but we could no longer put it off.
Luckily, our good friends had just had some water well work done by Colleen Roberts and were extremely pleased with the job and service.
They gave us Colleen Robert contact information, Colleen we learned is a famous water finder expert who has operated throughout British Columbia for many years.
It was a Saturday afternoon and I just called to leave a message thinking no one would respond until Monday. Within two hours Colleen was on the other end of the line extremely concerned that we were in trouble with no water.
I explained we had just had a truck deliver water and were alright for the time being. Nothing would do, she said would be over Sunday night around 8:30pm.
After having a brief conversation about the property and our old dry well she immediately began her water dowsing to find us a new source of water so we could drill a water well as it was hot, and our gardens were drying out fast.
Approximately one hour later Colleen was ready to pound in her drilling stake into the ground to mark the exact spot that the well drillers would put their drill bit to drill a well.
By Monday morning at 10:30 am the water well drilling rig was on our Cowichan Valley property and ready to drill with Colleen on-site to make sure the point of the drill was exactly where she wanted it, she has no tolerance for errors.
By late Monday afternoon the drillers were down about 200 feet with no sign of water, so the drillers packed it in for the day. The next morning the well drillers wanted to hydro-fracture the well, but Colleen said, “absolutely not, you’re not fracking anything, we don’t frack my holes”, she does not back down and certainly knows how to manage well drillers, what she says is the way it’s going to go at least it was on our property.
She does not like hydro-fracturing and says it’s a waste of money and not required when you drill where the water is, she gives you that big smile of hers and says, “what part of that is confusing?”
We have since learned that many water wells on Vancouver Island are not only drilled dry but often hydro-fractured costing an additional three thousand dollars or maybe more.
Colleen is incredibly protective of her clients who like us know very little about water well drilling, we had no idea. She’s also a remarkably confident woman who knows the entire industry extremely well, she has drilled thousands of wells we gathered.
We were also hoping for at least some water for our dry land but must admit we were so nervous but, not Colleen, she just knows and never wavers, always smiling and keeping us calm.
Finally, Tuesday around mid-morning, suddenly there was a huge gush of water.
We had hit the jackpot!! We could not believe that we had 30-gallons-per-minute of beautiful, clear, odor free water almost right outside our-front door! This was an incredible day for my husband Jim and myself.
Not only did Colleen find us water, but she has also become a treasured friend who cares so much about people, I would say she is the most kind and selfless person I have ever met.
Her follow-up was superb even six years later she is still an extremely dedicated water well expert who always goes the extra mile for people to make sure they have the best quality water possible.
We just love Colleen and feel really blessed to have met her.
Thank-you Colleen for everything you have done for us over the years!”
