About Full Bore

Full Bore is a Seattle-based contractor offering well drilling, utility work, and septic services. They currently hold a 2.7 rating from 7 reviews, which is low enough that prospective customers should review feedback carefully before booking. Seattle and its surrounding unincorporated areas present a unique market: while most of the city runs on municipal water and sewer, properties in the greater King County area frequently rely on private wells and septic systems. Full Bore's combination of well and septic services positions them for these rural and semi-rural properties.

Services & Process

Full Bore's services span well drilling for new water supply, utility connections, and septic system work. Well drilling involves boring down to a water-bearing aquifer, installing casing, and connecting the well to the home's water system. On the septic side, they handle installation and system work for properties that can't connect to municipal sewer. Utility services likely include water and sewer line work connecting buildings to existing infrastructure. This range is particularly relevant for properties on the edges of King County that need both water and waste systems handled independently.

Service Area

Full Bore serves Seattle and surrounding King County communities. Their well drilling and septic capabilities make them most relevant for properties in unincorporated King County and nearby rural areas outside city limits. They're reachable for projects across the broader Seattle metro area where private systems are still in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a Seattle-area property really need a private septic system?
Yes, though most of the city itself is on municipal sewer, many properties in unincorporated King County and neighboring areas outside city boundaries still use private septic systems. Rural parcels, large lots, and older properties on the edges of the metro area often have no municipal connection available.
What setback distance is required between a well and a septic system in King County?
Washington State generally requires a minimum of 100 feet between a well and a septic system drain field, though King County may have specific local requirements. A licensed contractor and the county health department can confirm exact distances for your parcel before permits are pulled.
Should I be concerned about a 2.7 rating when choosing a contractor?
A low rating warrants a closer look, especially reading the individual reviews to understand what drove the low scores. It's reasonable to ask the contractor directly about past complaints and how they were resolved before committing to a project, particularly for large-scale work like well drilling or septic installation.
How long does well drilling take for a residential property?
A residential well can typically be drilled in one to three days, though reaching a productive aquifer at the right depth can take longer depending on local geology. Permitting and inspection steps add time to the overall project schedule beyond the drilling itself.
Do I need separate contractors for well drilling and septic installation, or can one company do both?
One company that does both, like Full Bore, can simplify coordination and site planning since they're managing the placement of both systems on the same property. That said, it's still worth confirming that the contractor is licensed for both activities separately, as Washington State licenses well drilling and septic work independently.
What utility work is typically needed when installing a new septic system?
Beyond the tank and drain field, connecting the home's waste line to the new septic system requires trenching and pipe installation from the house to the tank. Electrical connections may also be needed if the system uses a pump. These utility connections are often part of the overall installation scope.
