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.

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.

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.

John thank you for coming on such short notice on friday right after your doctors appointment and fixing the leak we had with our well pump! this guy is super nice and friendly and very organized and detailed about his work... I am disabled with a bad back and couldnt do this job myself so he said no worries that he would be there soon after checking on his current jobsite and not to worry! and just like that 15 minutes later he had our well pump fixed and running!! John thank you so much for helping me out since i could not do this on my own and you stepped in and took care of me and my family no questions asked . you will have our business from this day forward ... Could NOT ask for a better guy... Thank you again buddy.... It was definitely a pleasure to meet you and chat with you after you got us taken care of...

FAQ

What is the process for getting a drilling service?
Start by calling us for a site assessment and estimate.
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.
How much does your service cost?
Costs vary based on the project’s scope and specific requirements. Contact us to discuss your needs.
