Testimonials

On 6/12/2025 Karen Hammel had this to say:
I am so very thankful for this company. They are the best. They worked on every ones well concerns on this road. Can't thank them enough. Can we say we love them?

On 1/29/2025 Jason Prather had this to say:
I contacted John after two well companies along with 3 different plumbing companies came out to fix a water pressure issue I had at my hose spickets outside. They would surge horribly and next to no water would come out. I've dealt with this issue for 5 years since building the home and no one has been able to resolve the issue. I've spent almost $2,000 between bladder tank replacement, pressure switch, running new lines down in the crawl....nothing fixed it. not even an improvement. John came out and within 5 minutes had a plan that he thought would for sure work. He came back with his two sons and after two hours, my 5 years of problems are gone. Thier knowledge is top notch. They were professional and even let me watch and kept my german shepherd entertained. They kept me in the loop the entire time with what they were doing and when they were done, everything was put back and you couldn't tell they even were there. They care about the customer along with the work they do. I wish I would have reached out sooner but they were located 45 minutes from me. They helped me without question and I'm forever grateful. Great group of guys. Would recommend them for your first call, not the second or fourth. Thank you guys for all your help. Truly a great family-owned company who cares about their customer and actually knows what they are doing.

On 4/19/2024 Warren A. Auxier had this to say:
It was a pleasure working with John and his son. On very short notice they assisted with restoring water service to an individual who had lost his home to a tornado. An old pump had to be removed from the well and replaced with a new one. The quality of the work was excellent, and the charges were very reasonable. Testimonial written by Warren A.

On 3/12/2024 Madison M. had this to say:
Richards was very professional, fast and reasonable prices. We were have plumbing issues with no water, and was quoted by other places of over 7,000. He found the correct problem and saved us over 6,500. I would recommend him and will be using him again in the future. We are truly grateful.

FAQ

Do you offer emergency well service for homes and farms in Indiana?

Yes — we provide emergency well repair services for homes, farms, and businesses experiencing no water, low pressure, or pump failure. We respond quickly to restore your water system and get you back up and running.

Should the water well be installed before the septic system?

Yes, it's crucial to determine the well's location before septic site activity. For home building, the well needs completion prior to septic site approval. Note: residential wells should be at least 50 ft from septic sites, while commercial wells require 100 ft.

Can you install solar-powered well pumps or upgrade old pump systems?

Absolutely. We install solar well pumps and constant pressure pump systems for reliable, energy-efficient performance. Whether you're off-grid or just want better pressure, we can recommend the right system for your property.

How do I know if I need well grouting, cleanout, or relining?

If you’ve noticed muddy water, poor pressure, or contamination, it may be time for grouting, relining, or a full cleanout. We offer inspections and professional solutions to keep your well water clean, safe, and flowing strong.

What areas do you service for well drilling and pump repair?
