Pulled a tired submersible pump set at about 180 feet outside Stewartville and set a new one sized to the house. New drop pipe checks, wire inspected, pressure verified at the tap before we left.
“The water got weaker all fall, then quit on a Sunday. They pulled the old pump, showed me why it was done, and had the new one in the same day. Pressure's better than it's been in years.”
Final price: $1,750 · 1 day.
Drilled a new 210-foot well in mixed glacial ground outside Kasson for a new home build. Casing, pump, pressure tank, electrical hookup, and permit handled as one job with one written price.
“Building new, we needed the whole thing — hole, pump, tank, the works. One crew, one price in writing, and water was on right when the house was ready for it. The 4-to-8-week timeline they quoted is the timeline we got.”
Final price: $13,800 · Drilling 2 days; complete over the build schedule.
Swapped a waterlogged standard pressure tank at a home outside Chatfield. The pump had been short-cycling for months; new tank, new switch, and the cycle times are back where they belong.
“The pump was clicking on and off every few seconds and I figured the pump was dying. It was the tank. New tank in half a day, and they showed me the old one was full of water where the air should be.”
Final price: $1,150 · Half a day.
No-water call in Byron traced to a failed pressure switch, with the downhole pump itself testing fine on the close-up inspection. New switch fitted, contacts and tank charge checked, water back the same visit.
“Woke up to dry taps and figured I was buying a pump. They tested first, found the switch, and I had water back by mid-morning for a couple hundred dollars. That's how you earn a customer.”
Final price: $225 · 2 hours.
Drilled and completed a 190-foot well near Pine Island after the old shallow well started pulling sand. New casing, pump, and tank; the old well was sealed by a licensed well contractor with the state sealing record filed.
“Our old well started giving us sandy water and we knew it was time. They explained the depth, the ground, and the price before a bit ever turned — and the final bill matched the written estimate.”
Final price: $12,900 · Drilling 2 days.
Well and septic inspected on one visit for a home sale in Dodge Center: pump, tank, flow, and pressure checked, septic compliance inspection done, and a written report the lender could work from.
“Selling the house, the buyer's lender wanted the well and septic checked on paper. One visit covered both, and the report was in hand in time for closing. No surprises for anybody.”
Final price: $550 · Half a day.
