Alan came out and gave me a free estimate on the work that needed to be done. He was very polite, punctual, and professional. I called him a few weeks later to hire him to perform the work. The work on the leak outside required Alan to dig about 4 ft to get to the leaking pipe. Another company that came out gave me an estimate that was 5x what Alan quoted me. They said they'd have to hire a small crew to dig out the spot since it was too tight to get a machine into the space, and the costs were high due to the labor. Imagine my surprise when Alan arrived alone with a shovel and dug the hole himself in about 30 minutes! He promptly replaced the leaking part and covered the hole. I asked him to take a look at the pressure tank inside the basement, and he quickly diagnosed the problem and we set a date two days later for him to return and replace the pressure tank. He again arrived on time and was quick and professional with his work, he even provided us with a larger tank than our old one to save the wear and tear on our well pump. When Alan was done he included a military discount on the costs, which amounted to being 4x less than a competitor was going to charge us. We now have good pressure in the front and back of our house to water our lawn throughout the summer without the worry of water coming into the basement. Alan was great; I highly recommend him, and would definitely hire him again!
Description of Work: Well pressure pump replacement, and repair of a leak underground that was causing water to come into the basement.

He did some credible diagnostics and determined the pump could be the problem, He then pulled the pump which is 250 feet down, did some more diagnostics and confirmed the pump was gone. BY 3:pm a new pump was installed and my water was back on.

Setting an appointment was easy and they answered questions I had prior to the appointment. They showed up a few minutes late due to some emergency calls from folks with no water (can't fault them for this, and would make me want to use them again.) Even though they showed up a few minutes late they got right to work and talked me through the process. They spent time answering questions and performed a very thorough analysis of the wells on the property. Definitely a top-quality company based on my experience.
Description of Work: Based on favorable reviews on Angieslist I selected Barker to perform a well inspection and water quantity/quality check on a property that I purchased.

I'M EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE BARKER DRILLING AND PUMP SERVICE PROMPTNESS, PERFORMANCE, PROFESSIONALISM AND ESPECIALLY THE RESULTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANY WATER WELL PROBLEMS.
Description of Work: HAD EXPERIENCED DECREASING WATER PRESSURE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE FOR 3 TO 4 DAYS. CHECKED ANGIES LIST FOR SUITABLE PROFESSIONALS IN THIS AREA AND ELECTED TO CONTACT BARKER WELL DRILLING AND PUMP SERVICE ABOUT 08:00 AM THE MORNING OF 3 AUG 11. THE BARKER REPRESENTATIVE ESTIMATED THEY COULD BE AT MY PLACE ABOUT 10:00 AM TO EVALUATE THE DIFFICULTY. BARKER ARRIVED 10 MINUTES EARLY WHICH WAS IMPRESSIVE. THEY EVALUATED THE PROBLEM AND DETERMINED A REPLACEMENT WELL PUMP WAS THE SOLUTION. THE EXISTING PUMP HAD A DATE STAMP OF 1989 WHICH GAVE IT A SERVICE AGE OF 22 YEARS. IN LESS THAN 70 MINUTES THE OLD PUMP WAS REPLACED AND SUITABLE WATER PRESSURE WAS RESTORED THROUGHOUT OUR HOUSE.

Overall very pleased, woke up, no water, checked Angie's List, found them, called them, they came same dady and by 4 pm, I had water. Does not get any better than that!!
Description of Work: My well pump had quit pumping and would not turn on. They did a thorough check of the pump and determine the issue was the switch for the pump and not the pump or motor. They replaced the switch and the pump started right up. They were very efficient and quick with the repair.

We just purchased an older home that has an irrigation well that was not working properly. I contacted Barker Well Drilling and initially spoke with Alan who said that they could come out and take a look at the well for $65.00. Alan also said that they could call when they were 30 minutes out so that I didn't have to leave work any earlier than I needed to. As promised, they called at 2:00pm and arrived promptly at 2:20pm. He and John were very knowledgable about submersible pumps. They quickly troubleshot the problem, pulled the well and found 2 holes in the plastic tubing. I asked for an estimate for the needed repairs and was pleasantly surprised when he said that they could get us back up and running for $165 including the service call. Of course I said "do it", they made quick work of the repairs by replacing all of the tubing and ensuring that the pump was working properly. They were in and out in less than 90 minutes and we were back in business with tremendous water pressure. We would highly recommend Barker Well Drilling to other Angie's List customers and we'll definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Water irrigation well has low to almost no pressure. Needed someone to troubleshot and repair problem.
