Water well drilling
New residential and property wells drilled through south Georgia sand and clay into the water-bearing rock below.
What we do
Six jobs, one well log.
From the first foot of a new well to the filter on the wall, it’s all the same water system, and we work on every part of it.
Well pump repair & replacement
No water, low pressure, a pump that won’t shut off: our service department diagnoses it and puts it right.
Pressure tanks
Tank change-outs, large and small, so the pump stops short-cycling and the pressure stays even.
Water filtration & iron removal
Sand, rust, iron and sulfur smell: filtration systems installed, programmed and serviced.
Pumps for land, plots & outbuildings
Small pumps and water setups for deer land, food plots, gardens, barns and camps.
Well checkups & disinfection
A look at the whole system after a storm, a flood, a long outage or before you buy a property with a well.
In their words
“God is good!”
“We want to thank all who has helped us get to this point! … We have been blessed and have acquired more drilling work than we can handle with our work force and equipment.”
That April announcement went on: drilling was booked out for months, “BUT!!! WE ARE STILL FULL FORCE WITH OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT so don't hesitate to call for repair and pump replacements.” Drilling and service run on separate schedules, so a broken pump doesn’t wait behind the rig.

What’s under your yard
Drilled to the Floridan.
Across Colquitt and Tift counties, a household well is drilled down through sand and clay and finished in the limestone of the Upper Floridan aquifer, the same rock that supplies Moultrie’s city wells and the farm pivots around them.
That water is plentiful, but it isn’t always pretty. Iron is common: UGA Extension puts high iron and manganese in 15 to 20 percent of Georgia private wells. Some wells also carry hydrogen sulfide, the rotten-egg smell. Both can be treated once you know what’s in the water.

Straight answers
Well water questions.
My well quit and there’s no water at all. What should I check first?
Check the well pump’s breaker in your electrical panel. If it’s tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call (229) 886-2733: something in the pump, the wiring or the controls has failed.
How long does a well pump last?
A good submersible pump commonly lasts somewhere around 8 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. What shortens its life most is short cycling from a bad pressure tank, sand in the water, lightning, and running the well dry.
Why does my well water smell like rotten eggs?
That smell is hydrogen sulfide gas. In wells, it’s usually produced by harmless bacteria living in low-oxygen groundwater. According to UGA Extension, most people can smell it at about 0.5 parts per million, and above 1 part per million it smells like rotten eggs and corrodes plumbing.
How deep are wells in Colquitt and Tift counties?
There isn’t one depth. Most household wells here are drilled through the sand and clay at the surface and finished in the top of the Upper Floridan limestone. Georgia’s geologic survey describes that sand-and-clay cover as anything from under 50 feet to several hundred feet thick, and it can change by tens of feet over a short distance.
My well was flooded. Is the water safe?
Don’t drink it until it has been tested. Floodwater can carry sewage, bacteria and chemicals into a well. Use bottled water, and follow your county health department’s guidance.
Who licenses well drillers in Georgia?
In Georgia, water well contractors are licensed, and pump installers certified, by the Water Well Standards Advisory Council. Georgia EPD acts as the Council’s agent, issuing the licenses and keeping the public list of licensed contractors.
