Services
Water Well Drilling
We specialize in drilling water wells ranging from 24-inch diameter to depths exceeding 1,000 feet. Our techniques include air rotary drilling for stable formations and mud rotary methods for challenging geologies. Each project leverages decades of field experience to ensure optimal water yield and structural integrity, serving residential, agricultural, and municipal needs across Central Utah.
Pump Installation
Our pump installation services ensure efficient water delivery tailored to well specifications. We size systems based on test pump data, piping infrastructure, and power availability. For residential wells, we use driller's reports to determine flow rates, while municipal and agricultural clients receive precision-engineered solutions to minimize long-term operational costs and maximize reliability.
Geothermal Systems
We design and install geothermal heat loop systems for residential and commercial properties. These systems utilize underground temperature stability for energy-efficient heating and cooling. Our drilling expertise ensures proper loop placement and depth, optimizing thermal exchange while adhering to environmental and structural safety standards for long-term performance.
Well Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation services restore aging or underperforming wells through advanced techniques like well development and downhole camera inspections. We address sediment buildup, casing damage, and reduced flow rates using specialized tools and methods refined through 28+ years of fieldwork, extending well lifespans and maintaining consistent water supply for clients.
Test Hole Drilling
We conduct test hole drilling to assess subsurface conditions for construction and resource evaluation. Using air rotary and auger boring methods, we collect geological data to inform project planning. This service supports infrastructure development, environmental assessments, and water resource management with precise, actionable insights.

I had Heath and team drill my well and I am so glad I did. Heath is a stand up guy and I would use him again anytime. He did a fantastic job up on the mountain where our cabin was. He ran into some difficult situations from well caving in to
casing being wedged in between rocks. Heath went above and beyond to get our well in and made it work for you us. Highly recommend using Heath and team.

Easily one of the best Utah Well Drillers in existence. Great experience, hit way more water then expected in my well before the depth I contracted and instead of taking advantage of my money and drilling out the full depth he stopped and asked if I would like to continue to the full contract amount or call it good since we were already beyond my expectations. Very Honest.
