Caldwelll charged far, far more than other ballpark estimates. Yes, my bad for not getting a written quote and for being desperate with no water but $5,500 to just replace a well pump is outrageous, predatory, and unjustifiable for a 1.5hp pump. If you can wait a day or two, you’ll be money ahead avoiding Caldwell!
Description of Work: Replace 1.5hp submersible pump, NOT drill well, replace tank or pipes, etc

Amazing service. Fast, efficient, and they found the problem immediately. An hour after our call, we had water again. They came quickly, found and replaced a burned out switch, and only charged $160.
Description of Work: Responded very fast to our call - we were without any water. The first thing they checked was a switch. They discovered it was burned out and replaced it.

We were totally out of water when I called Caldwell's. They put us on priority and a crew showed up within an hour. They were professional, friendly and totally explained everything they needed to do with an approximate estimate. They got to work immediately and installed a new pump. I would call Caldwell's immediately before I would call anyone else. Excellent company and great people to work with.

Description of Work: They replaced the well pump and installed a pump protection device. They also ran a pump test to determine how much water the well was producing. Caldwell Well Drilling is very professional and helpful. I have used them for 16 years and will continue to use them in the future. They take time to answer questions and make sure the job is done right.

I chose this company not only because they came highly rated on Angie's List, but they are also local to the small town I live in and I always try to use local companies when I can. We set an appointment time and date and they simply did not show up, call, or get in touch in anyway in the days following. I am extremely disappointed in their lack of professionalism and regard to my problem. I will not be making a second phone call.
Description of Work: I called and explained that I was having severe sediment issues, and that I would like them to come out to diagnose.

I am sorry that this incident occurred, however, we tried several times to contact you to perform this work via the person on record (name removed) for this job. We could never get in touch with anyone. This is NOT how we have stayed in business for over 60 years. You are welcome to call again and give us the appropriate numbers to contact you.

Everything about their service was exemplary, from the time we called them to the end of the process. They returned my call within 20 minutes, and they were at our place within the next hour with everything they could possibly need to do the job, which they did efficiently and professionally. This was the best home service we have experienced in the 15 + years we have owned our home here. I only wish that all service companies operated at this level. We will be telling all of our friends and acquaintances with private wells to put Reuben Caldwell Drilling Inc. at the top of the list if they need anything related to a well.
Description of Work: The crew from Caldwell Installed a larger, higher pressure storage tank, which included replacing most of the plumbing between the supply pipe from the well to the water filter. They also replaced a 20' section of the pipe that goes down to the well pump.. The cost, including labor, was just a little bit more than what we would have paid for the pressure tank alone if we had tried to do it ourselves.

I've used Caldwell's since I've lived in Leicester over the last 15 years. They've replaced my well pump as well as trouble shot for me. I have been very pleased with all my dealings with them and will definitely continue to use them, as well as recommend them.
Description of Work: Caldwell's responded immediately to my call when my water pressure decreased markedly. They solved my problem immediately and I was extremely pleased by their responsiveness. I've had a well pump replaced by them in prior years and was just as pleased.

I could not have asked for it to have gone any better. These guys are great.
Description of Work: Our pump quit on Christmas Eve. We stopped by their office this morning and James, Bronco and one other gentleman (whose name I didn't get) literally followed us home and went right to work. In approx. 2.5 hours they lifted off my heavy well-house, removed and replaced the pump, set the pressure correctly and put the well-house back.

I awoke Saturday morning to discover that I had no running water. After consulting Angie's List, I called Reuben Caldwell drilling. To my surprise, "James" who answered the phone, said they could come out immediately. They arrived within the hour and opened my well head. They discovered that a pipe had broken and was pouring water back into the well. They hoisted the well pump to the surface, repaired the pipe and restored my running water in a little over an hour. Since the well pump is only three years old, they did not try to convince me to replace it. I thought that the repair cost of $275 was reasonable, since it required a two-man crew and the work was performed on a weekend. I was extremely satisfied with the entire experience and would recommend this company to anyone in need of service for a water well.

Jeff was wonderful to work with. For our well water issues he recommended a water purification system and a water softener. He had the water tested first to make sure what he recommended would work and the overall price came in lower than expected. The install team had a very cramped area to work in and made adjsutments as necessary. They did a beautiful and professional job. I would definately call them again for any water/well isssues.

Caldwell Drilling was called upon to come repair a broken water line feeding into our house. It was a bit of a crisis situation in that upon going into our lower level early in the morning it was quickly discovered that water was pouring into our basement. Fortunately shutting off the well pump stopped the flow and while we began the cleanup a neighbor used his contacts to come up with a recommendation for repairs, that being Caldwell Drilling. We were extremely pleased that after a couple of calls Caldwell was able to free up a crew from 30 miles away and send them our way. In the meantime I had unearthed the problem area and upon arrival the plumbers were able to quickly confirm the joint causing the leak and expertly repair the rather awkward piping arrangement. The promptness with which Caldwell responded and the professionalism of the repair work itself were topnotch, and all at a very fair price.

Jeff was prompt in response to my initial call. I felt he did an excellent job analyzing the problems. I took his advice to upgrade my filtration system, and we set a date for him to come out and upgrade for me. And I was pleasantly surprised when he called the next business day and said his crew was available that day. The crew was prompt and got right to it. I am extremely satisfied with their performance and my new system.
Description of Work: Jeff came out and sniffed the water and then did a very thorough test of the well water. Checked out the filtration system and discussed it with me. Made recommendations which were entirely in accord with my thinking on the issues.
