Findlay has taken good care of us since drilling our new well over 30 years ago and really came through when we lost all water at 5:00 Tuesday evening. I called and talked to Jeff who said he would have someone out to the house first thing Wednesday morning. They arrived early, assessed the problem quickly, and had a new pump installed in our well in a little over an hour. Polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly efficient. I highly recommend this company!

Findlay Drilling took excellent care of us when we were recently in need of a new pressure tank and well pump! They were very competitive when it came to cost compared to 3 other local companies. The finished product improved the taste and appearance of our water quality tremendously! We couldnt be happier with their work!
