Your Local Well Crew — Drilling, Pumps & Pressure Tanks.
We’re a full-service water well company serving Hays County and the surrounding Hill Country. A new well for a rural build, a pump that quit and left you with no water, low or fluctuating pressure, a pressure tank that won’t stop cycling, or an inspection before you buy or sell — we handle the whole well system, and we come to your property to do it.
Out here most homes run on a private well into the Trinity or Edwards aquifer, not city water, and Hill Country wells have their own challenges: deep limestone, depths that change from ridge to ridge, steep caliche drives, and droughts that drop the water table. Tell us where your well is and what it’s doing, and we’ll give you a straight answer, a real price, and a crew that knows the aquifers under your land.

What We Do
From drilling a new well to getting your water back on, here’s what we handle for Hays County homeowners.
Water Well Services
We are a full-service water well company covering Hays County and the Texas Hill Country, from Dripping Springs and Wimberley down to San Marcos, Buda, and Kyle. If it has to do with a private water well, we handle it: drilling a new well for a rural build, installing and repairing submersible pumps, setting and servicing pressure tanks, inspecting wells for a home sale, routine maintenance, and emergency no-water calls. Out here almost nobody on acreage is on city water — homes run on a well drilled into the Trinity or Edwards aquifer, with a submersible pump pulling water up and a pressure tank feeding the house. That system has a lot of parts, and when one fails you can lose water entirely. You call, you tell us what is going on — building new, no water, low pressure, dirty water, or a pump that keeps cycling — and we give you a straight answer and a real price. No upsells, no scare tactics: an honest crew that knows Hill Country wells and the aquifers under them.
Water Well Drilling
Drilling a new water well is the foundation of life on Hill Country acreage — if you are building a rural home in Hays County, the well comes before nearly everything else. We drill new residential water wells across the county, from Dripping Springs and Driftwood to Wimberley, San Marcos, Buda, and Kyle. We evaluate your property and the area well records, locate the best spot for a productive well, drill to a water-bearing zone in the Trinity or Edwards aquifer, set proper steel or PVC casing to protect the well and keep surface water out, and develop the well so it produces clean water. We also drill replacement wells when an old or shallow well has gone dry or declined in a drought. Every property is different out here — depth, water quality, and yield change from one ridge to the next — so we size the well to your land and your household instead of drilling blind.
Well Pump Installation
The pump is the heart of a water well — it lifts water from deep in the aquifer up to your pressure tank and into the house, and the wrong pump means weak pressure, high power bills, or a pump that burns out early. We install well pumps across Hays County, on new wells and as replacements for failed or undersized ones. Most Hill Country wells use a submersible pump set down in the well casing, and getting it right means matching the pump horsepower and flow rate to your well depth, your water level, and your household demand. We pull and replace failed pumps, install the correct pump on a newly drilled well, run new drop pipe and wire where needed, and set the controls and pressure switch so the system runs efficiently. A pump sized correctly for your well and your home is the difference between strong, steady water and a system that struggles or fails early.
Well Pump Repair
When a well pump acts up, you feel it at every faucet — weak pressure, sputtering air, water that comes and goes, or no water at all. The pump and its controls are mechanical and electrical, and a lot can go wrong: a tripped breaker or burned wiring, a failed pressure switch, a worn or seized pump, a waterlogged pressure tank making the pump short-cycle, or a dropping water level in a drought. We diagnose and repair well pump problems across Hays County. We test the pump, the wiring and breaker, the pressure switch, and the tank to find the actual cause before pulling anything, then make the repair — replacing a switch, fixing the wiring, addressing the tank, or pulling and rebuilding or replacing the pump if it has failed. Because no water is urgent out here, we work to get you running quickly and tell you honestly whether you are looking at a small fix or a pump that is at the end of its life.
Pressure Tank Installation & Repair
The pressure tank is what gives your home steady water pressure and keeps your pump from running every time you open a faucet. Inside, a captured air charge (usually behind a rubber bladder) stores pressurized water so the pump only kicks on when the tank draws down — protecting the pump and smoothing out your pressure. When a tank fails, you get telltale problems: the pump short-cycles on and off, water pressure surges and drops, pipes bang, or the tank feels waterlogged and heavy. We install and repair pressure tanks across Hays County. We test the tank’s air charge and bladder, set the pressure switch correctly, and replace a failed or undersized tank with the right size for your home and pump. A correctly sized, healthy pressure tank is one of the cheapest ways to protect an expensive pump and get consistent water pressure throughout the house.
Well Inspections
A well inspection tells you the true condition of a water system before it becomes your problem — which is exactly why it matters when Hill Country property changes hands. We inspect private water wells across Hays County for home buyers, sellers, and owners who simply want to know where they stand. We check the well itself and its casing, test the pump performance and the flow rate the well actually produces, evaluate the pressure tank and switch, measure the static and pumping water levels, and run a water-quality test for bacteria and basic chemistry. Because nearly every rural home out here runs on a well rather than city water, the well inspection is one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of buying a place on acreage. You get a clear rundown of what is good, what is aging, what the well produces, and whether the water is safe to drink, so you can buy with confidence, sell without surprises, or budget for the work ahead.
Well Maintenance
A water well is easy to ignore — until the day it stops, usually at the worst possible time. Routine maintenance keeps a Hill Country well producing clean water and catches small problems while they are still cheap. We provide well maintenance across Hays County: periodic checks of the pump performance and pressure, testing the pressure tank’s air charge before it fails and short-cycles the pump, inspecting the wellhead and casing for a proper seal against surface contamination, checking the water level and yield against the aquifer’s seasonal swings, and water-quality testing for bacteria and basic chemistry. We also handle shock chlorination when a well shows bacteria, and we keep an eye on systems that are aging so you can plan a pump or tank replacement on your schedule instead of during an emergency. For a private well that has no utility behind it, a little upkeep is the cheapest insurance against a no-water day.
Emergency Well Service
No water is not a "next week" problem — out on a Hill Country well there is no utility to call, and when the system stops, the house stops with it. If you have turned on a faucet and gotten nothing, your pump breaker keeps tripping, you are suddenly getting air and sputtering instead of water, or your pressure has dropped to a trickle, that is an emergency and we treat it like one. We provide fast emergency well service across Hays County. We come out, find why the system quit — a tripped breaker or burned wiring, a failed pressure switch, a waterlogged tank short-cycling the pump, a worn-out pump, or a water level that has dropped in a drought — and get you running again as quickly as we can. The first priority is restoring water to your home; then we tell you straight what failed and what it takes to keep it from happening again. We know Hill Country wells, so we show up with the right gear instead of a guess.

No Water or Low Pressure? Don’t Wait.
On a private well there’s no utility to call — when the system quits, the house quits with it. A few signs mean you should stop and call today.
No water means call now
Turn on a faucet and get nothing? On a well that’s an emergency — no drinking, cooking, or bathing until it’s fixed. We come out, find why the system stopped — breaker, switch, tank, or pump — and get your water flowing again fast.
Sputtering air or dirty water is a warning
Air spitting at the faucets can mean a dropping water level or a leak in the drop pipe; sudden dirty or sandy water can mean a failing well or pump. Both need a look before they turn into no water at all.
A breaker that keeps tripping can’t be ignored
If the well-pump breaker trips the moment you reset it, stop — that points to a wiring or pump fault, and forcing it can cause damage. Leave it off and call. The same goes for a pump that short-cycles or runs nonstop.
