What an amazing company. Darrin came to my family’s rescue when my daughter ran into our well house. Within less than 2 hours we had water and it didn’t cost us more than expected. They are the number one well company to call. No one is better, maybe cheaper but don’t let that fool you. They know their trade and you have to pay the right amount for the top work they do.

Overall Job went great!
Description of Work: Catoe Well Drilling reviews were helpful in selecting them to come out and do the work. They responded in a very timely manner as I called this morning and they were out within a couple of hours. This is a family owned small business and they (Darrin and his Dad, James) came out and trouble shot the issues I was having with my water. I had a lot of sedimentation in my water this morning and after changing the whole house filter and seeing more sedimentation I called them. Darrin and James went right to work. It was very obvious they were professionals in this business. They both displayed a vast knowledge of information that they shared freely with me in regards to what they were doing and why they were doing it. They care about the quality of their labor and the products they are using in the job. Darrin found that the pump was running and when he checked the pressure it was not building up and would drop quickly. He said there was more than likely a leak somewhere in the line. They went back to the well head and started disconnecting the power and removing the housing to take out the pump. They hooked up their machine that helps in removing the line from the well. We discovered the well was approx. 150 ft and the pump had a hole that was stirring up the sediment and sucking the dirty/cloudy water right into the supply line. I made a decision to put a new pump in the well to fix that problem. My house was built in 1986 so I am guessing the pump was more than likely original (no tag for age, GPM, or Depth). The tank under the house is original and I will have to get that replaced soon.

I was very happy with Mr. Catoe because he explained each step of what he was doing and gave me the option of repairing or replacing worn out parts. At no time did I feel pressured to buy anything. He also fixed and re-routed some of the original PVC pipes the original owner had installed incorrectly. He also treated our well with chlorine, since opening the well casing and pulling the tubing out introduces dirt and germs to the well. We opted for a new pressure tank and new submersible pump instead of repairing the old system, and Mr. Catoe quoted us a reasonable price for it all. He cleaned up the work site and was at all times friendly and respectful. I feel that we got top-rate professional service, good quality replacement parts, and paid a fair price for our new system. I'll certainly keep Catoe Well Co. in my list of trusted companies.
Description of Work: Our home's water is supplied by a well, and when no water came out of the tap one morning I came to Angie's List to find someone to come check it out. I found Catoe's Well Co. (located a few miles from our home) and called right away. Mr. Catoe (the son) came to our house 2 hours later and despite a busy day with three other jobs on his schedule, he spent 3 hours fixing and replacing parts in our 20 year old well pump system.

I called on the well in the evening and I was amazed somebody picked up the phone to spend some time with me. Very pleasant and professional service from start to finish. I believe all the work which was done was needed and that no attempts were made to inflate costs.
Description of Work: An old beat up well stopped working at a rental house. The well was set up was just about as wiggered as a well can be. Put in a new motor, pump and tank and attending to some additional modifications that were needed. I believe all work that was done was in fact needed.

I contacted three Angie's List well companies. All three answered the phone at 7:30 am. Only Catoe Well Drilling was able to respond quickly and they were on time. Once they arrived, they assessed the situation and confirmed the problem prior to replacing the well pump. Impressively they had all the parts and fittings as well as several commonly used pumps on the truck. They literally came outfitted to do the job without having to leave the site, and thus cost us more money for their time. Once the pump was replaced, they inspected the remainder of our well equipment for any other unknown problems. Fortunately for their diligence, they found a pressure switch that was going bad and checked my well pressure stabilizing tank and adjusted the pressure to where it should be. I, being a contractor, appreciated the diligence, because so many other companies only fix what they are told too. They don't practice due diligence as a part of their service visit. This was a nice change.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced a worn out well pump and inspected the other well water supply equipment, and replaced other worn out equipment that they found.

THEY RESPONDED WITHIN 3 HOURS FROM WHEN I CALLED, BECAUSE I HAD NO RUNNING WATER. DESPITE POURING RAIN AND A THUNDERSTORM, THEY DUG DOWN TO FIND A LEAK AND REPAIRED IT, GIVING ME RUNNING WATER AGAIN.
Description of Work: I HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY WELL PUMP. JUST BEFORE THEY ARRIVED I REALIZED THAT THE MAIN PIPE FROM THE WELL TO THE HOUSE HAD SPRUNG A SUBSTANTIAL LEAK. THEY DUG THROUGH TO THE LEAK AND REPAIRED IT. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AS THE PIPE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IF I DECIDE NOT TO DO THE WORK MYSELF, I WILL DEFINITELY CALL THIS COMPANY.
