Read moreTwo rigs, because the ground here is not all the same
Cascade geology changes within a mile. Basalt, glacial till, river cobble. Running two very different rigs means we bring the one your site actually needs rather than the only one we own.
- 2009 Schramm T450 Air rotary. Our workhorse for domestic and irrigation wells, backed by a 1,000-gallon flatbed support rig.
- 2020 DR12 dual rotary Dual rotary drilling, which gives us a real advantage in the most difficult PNW geology — unconsolidated ground and deep casing work.

Getting a well drilled
Most people have never done this before. Here is the whole sequence.
-
Permit
We complete your water well permit and file it. You do not chase the paperwork.
-
Drill
We schedule the rig and keep you informed before and during drilling.
-
Pump
We go over pump system options and give you a detailed written estimate.
-
Test
We cover the testing your building permit requires, and testing for treatment.
-
Treat
If the water needs treatment we explain why and quote the equipment.
Our goal is not to just provide you water now. It is to provide water for the lifetime you own a well.
