Once they came, they worked steadily and finished the job, did a decent clean up and were very professional. Wish they worked on the weekend!! Turned out they needed to drill 80 feet deeper than our original well.
Description of Work: Our well failed this summer--evidently there was a hole in the casing, and we were drawing air and dirty water. The drilling company that diagnosed the problem turned out to not have the manpower to drill a new well so we called McCullough rather emergently and they began drilling within 2 days. Unfortunately we had to wait through a weekend without water, but not McCullough's fault.

McCullough promptly diagnosed, replaced the switch and then took the time to explain the work done and the reason for the failure. Also talked about the type of well pump we were using and gave me a short course in different options to consider if and when we had any issues with our current pump. Very informative. I would not hesitate to call McCullough the next time we have any issues.
Description of Work: New control switch needed on the pressure tank for our well water.

Very prompt and good communication. It was the day after Memorial Day and I was told that they were booked solid and an employee short that day, but would definitely get us in by the end of the day to diagnose the problem. Twenty minutes later I got a call from JJ asking if he could go ahead and stop on his way to his first appointment to just find out what was going on. He quickly diagnosed the problem and showed me a short term fix to the problem until he came back - so we were not inconvenienced without water at all. He was back the next day. Our well pump was old (15 to 20 yrs) and as long as it had to be pulled from the well, we chose to put in a new one.
Description of Work: Found problem with water issues due to well pump and fixed/replaced the pump.

They did the best they could under the circumstances. The problem was that they sent the crew out after two inches of rain overnight and another inch while they were working. The ground was so saturated that their equipment left ruts wherever they drove it on my property. I was left with a big muddy mess in my yard that took a couple months for me to clean up. I don't blame the crew, they did the best they could under the circumstances. I blame the "idiot" that sent them out in the middle of a rain storm to dig in my yard.
Description of Work: They dug in water service from my existing well to my barn.

Description of Work: Replaced well pump. Fast service. 24 hour service not exactly accurate as with most other places. We got a live person but couldn't get someone out until the next day. Did a great job when they arrived.

Great--see above.
Description of Work: Lost my water pressure during the night. Called service--both JJ and Brian returned my call. Brian came right out (on a holiday weekend), found the problem in about 20 minutes--helped me rig a temporary electrical circuit from the control box to the wellhead. We had water within two hours. GREAT service. These guys installed my original well and pump 23 years ago and upgraded my pump about 7 years ago. They have always done first class work. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Our water stopped coming out. Called McCullough's about 7AM and left a message. They called back shortly and said we would be second in line that day. He was here by noon. In less than an hour, our water was running again.
Description of Work: Changed the electrical plate to our well pump.

Description of Work: My well pump stopped working on a Saturday evening and JJ talked me through some simple diagnostics over the phone. He was friendly, patient and professional and my water was back on in just a few minutes.

Went great, JJ was on time, backed his big truck carefully through a very tight area near the house to get to the well. Price was fair.
Description of Work: Well pump would not shut off, so JJ had to pull the pipe and pump, found holes in pipe, replaced pipe section and pump (had been running continually and possibly damaged).

Terrible!!!! Did not show up when initially scheduled. Used backhoe to dig trench for water line and destroyed 25% of back yard. When natural gas was connected to house 15 years ago, trenching machine made only a 3" wide trench. Did not purge sediment form well when finished (or tell us that we should do so). Very unprofessional attitude toward customer.
Description of Work: Drilled new water well (164') , installed deep well pump, new pressure tank and connected service to house.
