RESIDENTIAL THROUGH MUNICIPAL · OIL & GAS SUPPLY WELLS
Three generations drilling East Texas — Tyler, Longview, Jacksonville, Palestine, Henderson and beyond. Handles everything from house wells to municipal and frac supply work, which tells you the rig capacity is there for any residential job.
BIGGEST STATED COVERAGE IN EAST TEXAS · ~13,000 SQ MI
Publishes an explicit 13-county service map — Henderson to Texarkana country. If you're rural and other outfits say "too far out," these are the ones to call.
RESIDENTIAL · COMMERCIAL · AGRICULTURAL
Another multi-generation family outfit, covering homes, farms and commercial wells out of Gilmer across the Upshur and Gregg county side of the region.
PUMP & CONTROL SYSTEMS SPECIALTY
Drilling plus a genuine specialty in pump and control systems, running out of Van to Tyler, Longview, Athens, Marshall, Palestine, Canton and up toward Texarkana. Strong pick when the problem is electrical or pressure-side.
30-FT PUMP SWAPS TO 1,000-FT WELLS · 4.5" SDR17 CASING STANDARD
Publishes actual specs — casing size, depth range, municipal replacement work. That kind of transparency usually carries through to the quote. Based in Winnsboro, reaching across Wood County and the wider region.
SMALL LOCAL OUTFIT · TIGHT SERVICE AREA
Small and local by design — if you're within a short run of Tyler, a tight-radius operator can often get to you faster than the big-coverage crews.
INSTALL + ONGOING SERVICE · OILFIELD-EXPERIENCED CREW
Well installation with a dedicated service side, run out of Kilgore since 2002 by a crew with a century of combined oilfield experience behind it. They also cover into northwest Louisiana.
NEW WELL DRILLING
A Wood County drilling name on Highway 154 that consistently shows up in local recommendations for new well work.
Verify the Texas water well driller license, and ask who files the state well report when the job's done. A legitimate outfit treats the paperwork as part of the job, not an extra.
Sand wells live or die on casing and screen selection — bad screens mean sand in your pump and an early replacement. Get the casing size, material, and screen type in the written quote.
Ask what iron, sulfur, or tannin levels they typically hit at your depth in your county — and what treatment they'd pair with the well. Crews that know your ground answer specifically, not vaguely.
Most wells here draw from the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer — typically 100–600 ft for residential, with shallow Queen City and Sparta sand wells producing at 100–300 ft in places and deeper Carrizo completions running 600–800+ ft toward the region's western edge. A crew that works your county knows the range before the rig shows up.
Generally less than limestone country — sand drills faster. Many new residential wells land between $8,000 and $20,000 installed, driven by depth and the pump system. Get drilling per foot, casing, screen, pump, tank and electrical itemized in writing.
The East Texas classics: hydrogen sulfide (rotten-egg smell), dissolved iron (orange stains), and tannins (tea-colored water) are common in these sands. None mean a bad well — aeration, oxidizing filters, and softeners handle them. Several crews above install treatment with the pump.
Depends on the county — parts of East Texas sit in groundwater conservation districts with registration and spacing rules, others have no district at all. Either way your driller must hold a state license and file a well report at completion. Ask who handles the paperwork up front.
