 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had no water called came out asap. We have a small well casing  they crawled in and figured out the problem  right away. Our pump.was shot it was 20 years old and was used when we put in. 2 hrs later we had water and they checked everything  out to make sure before they left. Fast friendly  service  I would recommend  them hands down.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with them installing a new well out by Fairmont, MN at a business. They were willing to travel a long way and got it done. They even loaned us a water trailer with pump so we could flush toilets and wash hands while we had no well and allowed us to keep working. Even more impressively they were able to directional bore the water and electric lines into a deep 10’ basement/ bomb shelter. They were able to avoid several high power transmission lines in the process. Being able to go that deep certainly saved us a lot of headaches. Everything went smooth, it was the least stressful major project that I’ve had to deal with here because they knew what they were doing and did all the work. A few weeks after the completion they even called me to make sure we were satisfied and that there wasn’t any issues. There hasn’t been. The new well and pump are working flawlessly. I’m very thankful for this crew.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kain did his homework, checked nearby wells for his best estimate of our project, and kept us in the loop the whole time. He was very transparent and gave us pros and cons and let us make the decisions. The project was done in a timely manner and the crew was hard working!
