Complete Well Systems
Most rural homes in our area run on a private well, and every part of that system has to work together: the well, the pump, the pressure tank and the water treatment.
We handle all of it, so you have one company to call instead of three.
Our well services include:
- Well drilling for new and replacement wells
- Well pump repair and replacement
- Well pump installation
- Pressure tank and pressure switch service
- Well water testing
- Well flow rate testing
- Water softeners, filters and treatment
- 24/7 emergency no-water service
Because we’re also licensed plumbers and electricians, one crew can handle the pump, the wiring and the plumbing inside your home.
Well Pump Repair & Replacement
Most well problems come down to the pump, the pressure switch, the control box or the pressure tank. We find the actual cause before we recommend anything.
Signs your well pump needs attention:
No water, or water that comes and goes
Low or dropping water pressure
Sputtering faucets and air in the lines
Pump runs constantly or cycles quickly
Electric bill jumps for no clear reason
Sand, sediment or cloudy water
We repair and replace both submersible pumps (down in the well) and jet pumps (above ground, common on shallow wells and older homes). If a repair is the better value, we’ll tell you. When a pump does need replacing, we size the new one to your well’s depth, its yield and how much water your household uses.
No Water From Your Well? Call Us Any Time
A dead well is an emergency, so we treat it like one. Call (540) 717-0784 day or night and we’ll get a technician headed your way.
While you wait, a few safe checks can save time:
- Check the breaker for the well pump. If it tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call us.
- Look at the gauge on your pressure tank. A reading near zero usually points to the pump, the pressure switch or the wiring.
- Note anything unusual, like clicking, a pump that runs nonstop, sputtering faucets or cloudy water.
Please don’t keep resetting the breaker or tapping on the pressure switch. A pump that won’t start can overheat and turn a repair into a replacement.
Well Drilling for Homes & Farms
Building a new home, replacing a well that’s run dry, or adding water for a barn or pasture? We handle the full job, from the first site visit to water at the tap.
How a new well comes together:
1. Site evaluation
We check the property, setbacks and access for the rig.
2. Permit
We help you get the local health department permit Virginia requires for a private well.
3. Drilling and casing
We drill to good water, then case and seal the well against surface water.
4. Yield test
We measure how much water the well can deliver.
5. Pump and pressure tank
Sized to your well and your household.
6. Water test
So you know what is in your water before you drink it.
Once the well is in, we install the pump, pressure tank and any water treatment you need. One company, one point of contact, start to finish.
Well Pump Installation
New well or an undersized system? The pump has to match the well.
We install:
- Submersible well pumps
- Jet pumps for shallow wells
- Pressure tanks and switches
- Control boxes, wiring and dedicated circuits
One crew handles the pump, the wiring and the connection to your home.
Pressure Tanks & Switches
Your pressure tank keeps the pump from starting every time you open a faucet. When it loses its air charge, the pump short-cycles and wears out early.
We test, repair and replace:
- Bladder pressure tanks
- Pressure switches and gauges
- Tank tees and check valves
A pump that clicks on and off every few seconds usually points to the tank.
Well Water Testing & Treatment
Our certified water treatment specialists start with a test, then recommend only what your water needs.
- Water quality testing
- Flow rate testing (gallons per minute)
- Water softeners
- Iron and sulfur filters
- UV disinfection
- Reverse osmosis drinking water
Health experts recommend testing private well water at least once a year.

Well Pump & Well Drilling FAQs
Why is there no water from my well?
The most common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed pressure switch, a waterlogged pressure tank, a bad control box or a worn-out pump. Less often, the water level in the well has dropped. Check the breaker and pressure gauge, then call us at (540) 717-0784 and we will find the cause.
How long do well pumps last?
Many well pumps last around 8 to 15 years. Water quality, how hard the pump works and the condition of the pressure tank all affect it. A failing pressure tank that makes the pump short-cycle is one of the most common reasons pumps wear out early.
What does well pump replacement cost?
It depends on the type of pump, how deep it sits in the well, and whether the wiring, pressure tank or switch also need replacing. We will look at your system and give you a clear, upfront quote before any work begins.
Do you drill new wells?
Yes. We drill new and replacement wells for homes and farms across Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties, and we install the pump, pressure tank and water treatment so the whole system comes from one company.
How often should I test my well water?
At least once a year for bacteria, and any time the water changes in taste, smell or color, after flooding, or after work on the well. We can test your water and explain the results in plain language.
Can a generator run my well pump during a power outage?
Yes, if it is sized and wired for it. We install whole-house generators and make sure your well pump is on the circuits that stay powered.
