Well drilling and pump repair in Stewartville — we handle both ends of a well's life here: the no-water call when a pump quits, and the new well when a home goes up or an old well gives out. Stewartville is just south of Rochester in Olmsted County, down the Highway 63 corridor.
Stewartville is Rochester's south side — in-town homes off Highway 63, acreages out toward Racine and Pleasant Grove, and steady new building on the edges. Most homes here run on private wells even in town, and the ground is glacial sand and till over limestone, so depths run moderate and predictable compared with the valley towns.
Stewartville is close-in work — a lot of in-town no-water calls where the well itself is fine and one part isn't: a pressure switch at $125–$300, a control box at $175–$500, a tank gone waterlogged and short-cycling the pump. Every repair price includes the $100–$200 service call, and most Stewartville repairs finish the same visit.
New wells in Stewartville are mostly replacement wells and new builds on the south edge. Priced by the foot — $28–$50 in sand and gravel, $40–$60 in mixed glacial ground, $50–$65 in bedrock — plus the completion package, a typical complete well lands in the $10,500–$17,500 range at 200 feet, and the honest timeline is 4–8 weeks from first call to water on.
Either way, you get a free written estimate after an in-person look, and our phones are answered around the clock — Stewartville is a short run down Highway 63.
Repair starts with testing, not guessing: switch, control box, and tank charge first, because those are the cheap failures. If the pump itself has to come up, we'll tell you what the pull involves before we start — pump pull and motor work runs $950–$2,650.
When a pump in Stewartville is past fixing — the working rule is a repair bill over half the cost of a new pump — replacement runs $450–$1,400 for a shallow or jet pump, $1,000–$2,500 for a standard submersible at 100–300 feet, and $1,500–$5,000 for a deep submersible.
In Stewartville a new well runs in the state's order: site visit and setbacks checked, permit filed, then the drilling. We case the hole and grout around the casing to seal out surface water, set the pump, pressure tank, and electrical, and file the well record when the job's done — one crew, one written price.
Because the ground south of Rochester is fairly predictable — glacial cover over limestone — Stewartville estimates hold up well: expected depth and per-foot rate in writing before the rig rolls, and the bill matches the estimate.
Pressure tanks here run $400–$2,500 installed depending on size, and a failing tank is behind a lot of 'pump problems' — it short-cycles the pump until the pump gives up. For home sales, a well inspection runs $250–$550, a septic compliance inspection $300–$650, or both on one visit for $400–$650, with lab water testing added when a lender asks for it.
No water, low pressure, or a new well to plan — a few minutes on the phone sorts most Stewartville calls into repair, replacement, or drilling.
Estimates are done standing at your well, not from a desk. That's how the written number ends up matching the final bill.
Price, scope, and timing in writing before any work starts. No work begins on a verbal okay.
Repairs usually finish the same visit. Drilling runs on the schedule we gave you — and we say plainly that a new well is a 4–8 week process, most of it scheduling and permits.
We run the water clear, check pressure at the tap, and leave you the paperwork — invoice, and the well record on a new drilling job.

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.”
