Description of Work: They came over at our request to investigate a well on our property and explain to us our options. We now understand what we have and what we can do about it. If we do decide to either cap or use the well we certainly would strongly consider them for the work.

Description of Work: We had a new water softener and chlorinater installed but were still having problems with lack of water pressure. The people that installed the softener said it had to do with either our well or our pump so we called Hillsborough Pump. The first trip he came out the same afternoon that I called him, he looked at what was installed and explained to us that the "softener" people had installed a holding tank that was too small for our 2HP pump and it was shutting off too soon. He came back the next day installed a new holding tank and increased the water pressure and now everything appears to be working fine. I would highly recommend Hillsborough Pump and will call them again when needed.

Description of Work: Excellent service. Mike showed up on Sunday morning and quickly determined our problem. An electrical box with the start capacitor had caught fire. He had the part on board his truck although he had seldom seen this problem and quickly replaced it. Very polite and conscientious. Would definitely recommend him!

Well done.
Description of Work: Mike responded to my well drilling wants and performed, exceeding my expectations. He is very focused on customer satisfaction and his existing accounts are a high priority to his scheduling. He fit my project into his other obligations and performed beyond my expectations to get the well performing to my needs. Mike returns phone calls to advise me of his other customer obligations and then managed to fit me into his busy day. This is a good company to get aligned with as wells go. I'm one phone call away from on site support. Captain Bob

Terrific
Description of Work: Mike was terrific. I needed a new bladder tank for my well and a new motor for the pump. The motor i had was quite expensive but he was great at finding one to keep the price down. I highly recommend him and i will definitely use him again if anything else arises in the future.

I have been having water pressure problems for over 2 years, most of the time the pressure would never get above 30 psi and sometimes I wouldn't have any water pressure at all. I have replaced 2 jet pumps and one pressure tank in the span of 5 years but I was never able to get above 30 psi. I placed a call with Hillsborough Well and Pump on 8/20/2012, on the 21st Mike called me and stopped by the house to give me an estimate on labor and parts, he recommended I go with a submersible pump instead of the old style jet pump, because of better efficiency, better water flow, and reliability. He said the pump would cost more than the older style but said it would last longer and cost less to run. On the 23rd he showed up right on time and explained what they would be doing and showed me where the failure point of my old system was. The installed the new pump and pressure tank with an hour and a half and made sure to test the system thoroughly before they left. My old system would take up to 15 minutes to raise the pressure from 20 psi to 30 psi, the new system went from 0 psi to 50 psi in less than the time it took me to turn on the circuit breakers in the house and walk to the pump. I took a shower before I went to work after they left and the pressure only dropped to 45 psi, and when I got home the needle hadn't moved the whole day. I would definitely recommend Mike and Wes from Hillsborough Pump to anybody that needs work on their well.
Description of Work: Replaced well jet pump and tank with submersible pump and bigger pressure tank.

Description of Work: I got up this morning took a shower, no problem. Two hours later...big problem...no water. My husband is out of town, so I looked on Angie's List and called Hillsborough Pump. With today being Sunday, I was very worried about getting the situation resolved quickly. Mike Tucker answered the phone, said no problem, I will be out within an hour and a half. He was on time and professional. Assessed the problem was a relay switch, replaced the switch and I was back in the water in a very short period of time. I am a very happy customer!!

When our sprinkler system stopped working, I made a few phone calls to figure out why. After talking with another person listed on Angie's list(who recommended a well pump service person instead), I called a few companies. Mike came out and gave us an estimate and was able to fix it. His price was very reasonable. Mike was also right on time, and explained in detail what the problem was, and what it would take to make it work. I even asked him to reset the sprinkler system so it would automatically go off when needed.
Description of Work: Our well pump and control box had to be replaced because it was tripping the breaker.

Description of Work: Mike was awesome! Came out right away and performed the work within a few days! His estimates are free, which is something not all companies offer. He was very knowledgable about the parts and after accessing our pump issues he was able to suggest a different pump that would work better for what we needed. He is nice, clean, professional and knows what he is doing! I would hire him again!

I called Hillsborough Pump and Well , after calling another company on Angies List who never called me back, on a Sunday afternoon. Mike quickly answered the phone politely and I proceeded to explain my situation. He came out that afternoon while I was at a church function and assessed the problem and called me and advised me of what he had found. We talked price and time, I was pleased with what I heard . Monday morning he and his coworker arrived promptly and after getting the truck in my back yard they where set up in no time. Mike and Wess worked together without a hitch changing out my pump and pipe and wire. They both where very polite and professional. I am very pleased with the price and quality of workmenship they performed. I have no doubts that I will use them again as well as recommend them to anyone who needs there services. After they got done with my work , my neighbor needed some advice on his well. Mike and Wess took a look at my neighbors well and recommended some changes and gave him a quote for free. A ratings from this happy customer.
Description of Work: Replace deep well submersable pump and piping. Also the wire and a new control box.

Mike understands what 'service' means in a service industry. He responds in a timely manner to telephone calls, comes when he says he will come, and provides services at a fair price. Hillsborough Pump's price was very competitive. Mike only sells you what you need.

It went great! Mike is very knowledgeable and explained to me how the well system worked and also how to get the most efficient use out of it. We will definitely use him again in the future.
Description of Work: We are in the process of purchasing a new home and we needed a well inspection and water test performed. My wife and I both work during the week so it was a big help that Mike was able to come out on a Saturday to provide his services. He inspected the well and pump and also collected a water sample.

We recently purchased a home built in 1966 and last night when my husband came home, we discovered we had no water. This morning about 8:15 my husband called Hillsborough Pump and Well Drilling and Mike was at our home by 9 am. He discovered that the motor on the pump was burned out, and said it was likely the original motor for the pump Fortunately, our propery has a second well, and he was able to find a valve to switch our water supply system to the second well. We also now know the options for repairing the orignal well, and the cost of the options, so we have the luxury of planning when to make (and pay for) the repairs. We won't hesitate to call Mike when we're ready.
Description of Work: Resolved our lack of water problem.

Mike arrived on time and worked quickly, and made a couple polite suggestions about optional work I could have done in the future. I wish the price had been just a little less, but it seemed fair. He was friendly and professional, and didn't seem to mind answering my ignorant questions. He clearly knows what he's doing.
Description of Work: I had a tank with a damaged internal bladder, leading to "short cycling," that is, the pump was switching on and off too much, which led to the control box burning out. Mike checked to be sure the pump was still good, and it was--he could have easily lied about that to me and I wouldn't have known. He replaced the tank and control box and installed a new switch.

Owner Mike Tucker and his assistant did an excellent job. This was the first time he had installed this type of manual pump device that could rest above an existing electric pump sharing the same well pipe. They had to assemble the manual pump following installation procedures from the manufacturer. He was courteous, very thorough and took his time to ensure the new pump was installed properly and worked as it was supposed to. He arranged his installation around my schedule and was on time. I really appreciated his professionalism. One can live without electricity, but you can't live without water! It was a relief knowing that we had access to water, even without power. I would highly recommend Mike and his company for any pump and well work. They were excellent and fairly priced.
Description of Work: So we will have access to water for our house during electrical outages, I purchased a special deep well manual pitcher pump that was designed to share the same well pipe that is used by my existing electric well pump. I located Hillsborough Pump and Well Drilling on Angie's List, and it was the only company I found that would install the manual pump for me. It required the electric pump already in the pipe to be suspended, new manual pump to be assembled and inserted in the pump well pipe to rest above the electric pump, new well cap to be affixed, new manual pump handle to be installed, and new check valve and gauge to be installed and connected to existing pump hold tank. It took the owner and a co-worker a couple of hours to complete the job.

The pump quit working. Mike performed an electrical test and determined that power want not the problem, then proceeded to check out the mechanical parts of the pump and determined that several parts needed to be replaced.Once he replaced the parts and tested the pump it was back in operating condition again.
Description of Work: Mike replaced the points, condenser, pressure gauge and cleaned other mechanical parts. He tested the pump to ensure there were no leaks. He showed me the bad parts so I could see for myself that the parts he was replacing were in fact bad or worn.
