Last July my well failed. I called Allabaugh Well Co., who determined that the pump had failed. In their attempt to remove the pump, it became hopelessly wedged in the well casing. I was told that my only option was to drill a new well. Being desperate for water, I told Mr. Brian Allabaugh to proceed with the project. I paid his required $2,000 deposit. Subsequently, I realized that I should have obtained additional estimates and notified Mr. Allabaugh to delay the work. Bids from two other very competent drillers were substantially lower. I asked Mr. Allabaugh to return my deposit. We agreed to an $800 charge for the work done plus a $50.00 fee for completing the drilling permit application (which had not yet been submitted). I received a refund check for $1100.00, which was $50.00 less than the agreed upon amount. It is now February. After many, many, many phone calls requesting the remaining $50.00 and Mr. Allabaugh?s many promises to send it, I still have not received this payment. As a result, I question the integrity of Alllabaugh Well Co. and would not again employ their services.
Description of Work: Allabaugh Well Co. attempted to remove my well pump for replacement but failed as the pump became wedged in the well casing.

This is Marc Allabaugh, Brian Allabaugh's son. I just wanted to let you know that I was not aware of this situation. If your address is right I will try to get a check sent to you this week.
