Everything is working good now. Some residue we were collecting in faucet screens is now gone. With the burst pipe we had no water flow at all, so of course that's resolved.
Description of Work: Pipe burst just above my well pump. They came out right away and diagnosed the problem. I elected to have the pump replaced even though they said it may be okay for a couple years. Cost was reasonable given 600 ft deep well and all. Others I have talked to have had more costly well repairs.

They were very communicative. The crew was working on another well that ran long. They communicated every day with us. Price was good and thier professionalism was great. They stepped us through the landscaping impact during drilling. No hidden costs or issues, other than time to hit good quality water.
Description of Work: Murray drilled a replacement well. Over 200 feet in the north valley.

They were out here several times over the spring and fall. Over two thousand. They had to pre-place the tank, pay for the crane, and pumped pull, and valve replaced. We been using them. They put the well in, and we been using them since. We have recommended them, and said that they do good work.
Description of Work: They had to replace, an holding tank in the fall. In the spring. We had trouble with the water stopping. They changed out an electrical switch, and the holding tank, and something else. They had to pull the pump. Its a big deal, its down five hundred feet. They had to bring in a crane. There was a valve not functioning on the pump.

They did really good. I called around before I decided to have them come out and I think they were a little bit cheaper than the other ones I called. They didn't ask for the money up front; they billed me later, after I got the results back, which was more convenient. They were here right away when they said they would be here and they did everything they were supposed to do. They're pretty efficient and they get back to you right away; they don't leave you hanging. They emailed me the test results on my phone and they did send out a paper result after that, too. I would use them again if I needed to.
Description of Work: I used them just to test the water when I was refinancing the house. It was a basic water test; they tested it for arsenic and toxic metals, and they tested the water pressure.

Mechanic was on time, diagnosed the problems immediately and repaired the damage in quick fashion. He stuck around to be absolutely certain the pump was working properly.
Description of Work: The mechanic replaced corroded iron piping, and heat damaged PVC well pump connections, charging me only the cost of a service call, minus Angie's List discount. He was polite, answered my questions and those he couldn't answer, he relayed back to headquarters for answers ... above and beyond service.

The team from Murray Drilling arrived on time. Once there, my wife told them the problem we were having - within 10 minutes that know what the problem was and within 30 minutes the part was replaced and we had the continuous flow of water that we were missing.
Description of Work: Was losing water pressure on a consistent bases. Murray Drilling came out and within 10 minutes found what the problem was, replaced the part and was done in 30 minutes. The problem was an old cast iron part that was clogged preventing the continuous flow of water - especially inconvenient when in the shower. The team was professional, on time and did a great job. The interesting part of this was that we had another company out prior to calling Murray Drilling and they completely missed diagnosing the problem - they recommendation was to add more pressure and install a filter at the cost of $500. If we would have had them do the work, we would have been out $500 and still would have had the problem. So in a nut shell - we were very pleased with Murray Drilling!! GREAT JOB.

During a cold wave my water went off. My pipes have gotten frozen before, so I wasn't that worried. I did what I have done in the past to speed up thawing. However, after the weather warmed above freezing, my water was still off. I opened my well house and found a broken pipe. I didn't find the problem until nearly dark and it was starting to freeze again. I still had not been able to determine if I had a well problem, a frozen pipe problem or both. I was not able to take a second day off work and I didn't call Murray until nearly 5:00 PM. Murray agreed to come the next morning. They showed me that 3 broken pipes, a frozen pressure gauge, and the cause. The pressure tank electrical switch was fried from a power surge. I went to work and came home to find everything repaired. They showed me where to insulate to prevent a recurrence.
Description of Work: Nothing is more urgent than no water.

Things went extremely well. As the pump is now used only for irrigating our garden and it was in the midst of winter, I told them to service those people with problems in their drinking water wells first. While they did so, they were in excellent communication with us throughout and then showed up when they said they would. They had to order the pump, but came back the following week and pulled the pump and replaced everything. The service crew and the office staff were friendly and a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: My irrigation well stopped working. Their crew pulled the pump and replaced it. the pressure controller, and the electrical box.

We have a shared well with two other houses in Rio Rancho. One Sunday morning, we all woke up with no water, and no amount of troubleshooting on our part would reveal the exact issue. After calling several well drilling and service companies in the local area, we were running out of hope that we would find someone competent, professional and responsive to assist us. Our neighbor contacted Murray Drilling first thing Monday morning, and they were out within a couple of hours to figure out the problem. From the moment that they arrived, the technicians from Murray Drilling Company were professional, down to earth, empathetic and efficient. They diagnosed the problem, informed us of the solution and quickly began working to rectify the problem. As it turned out, the existing pump had gotten so hot that it melted off of the piping, so we needed to have the pump replaced on the spot in order to reestablish water service. As the gentlemen worked on our well, Murray Drilling sent an employee over with the replacement part (pump) so as not to interrupt the progress. Needless to say, when they neared completion of their work and we saw water, my husband, the neighbor, and I all let out a loud cheer; we'd never been so glad to see something as seemingly simple as running water. We also had a great experience with Robin, the office manager who handled billing and questions after the work was done. She was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable and even looked at the well inspection report that was done when we purchased our house a few months ago. That 'inspection' was completed by another company and we sure wish we'd had Murray handling it at that time, as it would have alerted us to the work that needed to be done before we bought the house. Murray Drilling was the best company hands down for the service that we needed. After speaking with so many other companies in the Albuquerque area, the difference in service and support was like night and day. Don't waste your time talking to other companies - save time and stress by calling Murray from the get go!
Description of Work: Replaced a pump for a shared well and reestablished water flow to three houses.
