2 Days later, the Dunham Well techs returned and fixed our well. The cost on that was $1330 for parts and labor. ($995 for parts and the remainder in labor costs) When I was called by the company to settle the balance, I told them of the damage done and asked for a discount on the service to offset the cost of the damage done by the technicians. I was connected to Mr. Dunham (the owner), who refused to even listen to the complaints of my situation. He kept saying that he didn’t think it was “fair” that he had to pay for the damage that was done by his techs because we had the wire buried in the driveway. He felt that we shouldn’t have put a wire in our drive so it wasn’t his fault for the accident. He said that the truck was “heavy equipment” and we have to expect that if we wanted them to be on property that our driveway should be expected to hold up to their vehicle. When I tried to tell him we had a truck double their size on my driveway in the same spot a month before with no damage, he wouldn’t even listen to me. As he whined again about how he didn’t think it was “fair” to be asked to pay for the damages, I suggested that we split the cost of the repair that had to be done and again he would hear nothing of it. So instead of a further futile argument, I asked him to return me to his finance department to settle the bill. So, to answer his question of “is it fair”… I believe that it is fair to expect a company who visits your home to take care to not damage the property that they are on. As a small business owner myself, I believe that the fair thing would be to take responsibility for the actions of my employees even if it was accidental. So I believe it would have been fair to give me a discount on the service labor to offset my further expenses caused by his employees. I believe that I am being fair in giving them a rating of 2. I’d be happy to give them the lowest rating possible for the whiny belligerence of the boss/owner and lack of customer concern, but the employees completed the job timely and my well is working again. So, I believe it to be fair to at least remember that, despite feeling that they are working for a man who runs a company as poorly as he does. Hire Dunham Well Drilling if you want a well company who seems to be knowledgeable in their industry, but say a small prayer that all goes according to plan or else you will end up paying for more than you bargained for. I, for one, won’t take the chance again.
Description of Work: Our well pump seemed to be running non-stop and making a loud unpleasant noise. Dunham Well Drilling responded quickly to our service request and had someone out to check on it within the day. It was determined that we needed to replace the pump and they said it would be 2 days until the part was in and they could return. Short reason I rated a D… While the service from Dunham Well Drilling was completed quickly and, to my knowledge, correctly, the service techs damaged our property and when I approached the owner about the damage, he refused to work with me on a solution. For a longer explanation, see below to make up your own decision. It is said a company’s integrity can be measured in how they handle situations when things don’t go exactly according to plan. I don’t believe this is a company run by a man with integrity or an aptitude for customer based decisions. On leaving the driveway, the service technician’s truck tires spun down into our gravel driveway, dug up the wire of our invisible fence (buried 3 inches below the surface for containment of our dogs) and cut the wire. Without a continuous circuit the system is in-operational. It was an accident and unintentional but still damage was done. The Dunham technicians tried to reconnect the wire with no success and we had to call out the invisible fence company who had to repair the system at a cost of $125 dollars.

Description of Work: Bottom line, they do a good job. This was the second time I had them install an irrigation well for me. Staff pleasant, helpful and accommodating - which is rare in central Florida. Only drawback is I paid a premium price. There are cheaper guys out there, or cheaper ways of doing this job yourself. I paid a premium for quality and experience, and that is what I got. The fact that I used them again speaks volumes. The guys doing the work this time were great, better than the first time. They have different crews. The electricians they use and recommend are first rate. I brought them back to do other work for me.

On a Tuesday evening our 20yr old well pump burned out. After some searching around on Wednesday morning, I found Dunham Well and Drilling in Polk County, but no Angie's listing. To a leap of faith and went with Dunham. Found out later that they are well recommended by area plumbers. They came out and inspected and tested the pump. Determined I needed repair or replacement. Considering the age of the unit, I went with replacing so that all parts were of similar age and would not have problems later on. We were back up and running by 4pm.
Description of Work: They were very prompt and professional in their response. Provided us with the options to solve the problem of the failed pump. Had it up and running with a day. Would recommend them to any one needing Well or Drilling work done.
