Water Well Drilling
We specialize in constructing water wells ranging from 24" diameter to depths exceeding 1,000 feet. Our drilling techniques include air rotary, mud rotary, and auger boring methods tailored to geological conditions. With over 1,300 completed wells, we provide reliable water access solutions for residential, agricultural, and municipal applications while maintaining strict industry standards.
Pump Installation
Our pump installation services ensure optimal water delivery systems for both new and existing wells. We determine appropriate pump sizing based on well flow rates, piping infrastructure, and power availability. We specialize in systems for residential, agricultural, and 24/7 operational requirements, ensuring efficient and durable pump configurations matched to each well's specific characteristics.
Geothermal Loop Wells
We drill specialized geothermal loop wells for sustainable heating and cooling systems. Our expertise includes proper depth and configuration determination for optimal thermal exchange. We apply the same precision drilling techniques used in water well operations to ensure efficient geothermal system performance while maintaining structural integrity of subsurface formations.
Well Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation services restore productivity to aging or underperforming wells. We employ advanced techniques including downhole camera inspections and specialized development methods. By analyzing well logs and historical performance data, we implement targeted solutions to improve flow rates and extend the service life of existing water systems.
Test Hole Drilling
We conduct precision test hole drilling for geological assessment and resource evaluation. Our methods provide accurate subsurface data for water availability and formation characteristics. This service supports informed decision-making for new well locations and helps determine optimal drilling approaches for specific geological conditions encountered in Central Utah.
