They did an excellent job with both situations and can not find anything at this point to fault them on. They will be my go to water fixers from now on.
Description of Work: Had a pitless adapter changed out at the wellhead which required heavy equipment for digging to the outflow pipe. They added a new, regulation well cap also (mine was not up to code). They also replaced my 20 gallon pressure tank and all necessary fittings at the house.

They came out very quickly and we were very happy with them. They came and investigated the issue. They found out it was actually ants shorting out the pressure gage. Instead of charging me to replace the whole thing, which they could have gotten away with it because there was no way I was climbing into the well house. But they just replaced the gage, which was a whole lot less than I thought I was going to spend. I don't remember what I spent, but it was very reasonable and we were very pleased with them. I feel like you can trust this provider. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending them to any of my family or friends.
Description of Work: They came out and took a look at our pump house. We were having problems with water pressure.

We addressed the acidic water and hard water. He also shocked my well water at no extra cost. Jason was very friendly, very informative, and of all the other companies I was recommended, they were the best price-wise. I am very happy with the result. He is going to come back in a week or so once things stabilize to test for bacteria. I also may need a new light bulb for my UV system.

They were VERY prompt in the return call and service. The crew was efficient and knowledgeable about their task. ( I ask alot of questions! ) Very professional and courteous staff. It was not fun being w/o water but it was fixed as efficiently as possible. Thank You FW&PCo!
Description of Work: After short discussion they tentatively diagnosed the situation and said they'd head our way promptly...and they did! They pulled up and replaced our 'not working' pump. Checked our dry cistern and advised us to bring water in not to stress our well. They recommended A&E water hauling to bring us water......that went without a hitch too.

I contacted Angie's List, where I was introduced to Foster Well and Pump Company. I was assigned by Foster Well and Pump to Shane as my contact and the job supervisor. Shane conducted an on-site inspections. He provided me his credentials, list of references, licenses and his work integrity from the begining. He refused to sell his services by say anything negitive about other "services providers" and ensured my you'll get what you pay for. I like the honesty and his focus on what he could provide to me as a custmer. They were considerate of the other builders on the property. He waited for the site to allow him to be successful and coordinated scheduling with my Prime Contractor. Shane made the whole process easy and transparent. I feel that I got a great deal and walked away feeling I wasn't just a JOB. Pay for a service and exceed your expectations, I am not used to that these days. Shane and Foster will always get my business and I would promote them as a great "service company" to anyone who will listen. By the way..... I rarely provide referenes. I provide references ONLY when I feel confident if I provide a reference....more people could benefit from my positive experience. Thanks Shane and Foster Well and Pump Company. Job Well Done!! Philip Herner (Palmyra Home Owner)

It is a pleasure to work with a profession that takes privde in thier work and believes thier word is thier bond. I consider them a rare find in today's "services" market. Thanks Shane!!

It was not clear if there was a leak or if the well had run its course and needed further attention or even a new one drilled. First, on the phone, they discussed what might be the problem; then they came out and found the leak promptly. It helped that the ground was muddy and it was easier to see lighter colored clay bubbling up. The next day, they came with a back hoe and fixed the broken pipe; we discussed if we should stop there or replace the whole pipe but we still didn't know if the well would come back. So, they stopped there and we set up a series of tests to see if the pressure in the system held and if there was water. If it seemed OK, that was it; if not, we'd move on from there. So far, so good. They were helpful and the price seemed fair.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and fixed a leak in the pipe from the well to the house

Everything went well. We had been looking for some time for someone knowledgeable about UV systems and we found Fosters. We reserve some judgement until they've been out for annual service, to see if they follow through well with that---but so far so good. I don't recall exact date or cost.

His suggestion was right on. By turning off the power to my well and HWH for an hour, it gave my well time to recharge (which it did) indicating that I had a leak in my plumbing system. I was then able to track the leak down and repair it. Well's fine and I'm grateful for his advice.

From the beginning, they were responsive, and I spoke on the phone to Steve several times until we were able to work out a meeting time (we had to juggle many appointments that day, so Steve's flexibility and willingness to accommodate us was VERY much appreciated). When we arrived at the property, Steve was already testing the well, and was very personable and professional, as well as helpful to us.
Description of Work: We were so happy with this company, and with Steve, who came out to inspect the well, the pump, the tank and the water at a home we are considering purchasing. He very kindly adjusted his schedule to suit us (even though I know it inconvenienced him a bit), was there on time, and not only was very thorough in his inspection, but was very helpful to us in explaining the equipment itself, the potential problems and the solutions. We would most definitely recommend this provider to anyone looking for well and pump service in the Charlottesville area.

I could not be happier with the excavating and installation done by Commonwealth Underground. I had another contractor walk away from the job after taking the contract due to the underground utilities, but Commonwealth Underground was more than confident in their ability to get the job done. They completed the job quickly, professionally, and at 1/3 of the price of the contractor that walked off the job.

It was great. The workers were able to show up earlier than planned because of weather. They called my cell and arranged for an earlier meeting time. Once at the house, they were extremely knowledgeable and professional. They reviewed the work that the other contractor had done. They explained exactly what they were doing and what the previous contractor had did. In the end, they confirmed that the steps the other contractor followed were correct. However, they were also able to explain to me why the problem occurred and why i was seeing heavy amounts of silt throughout the house. They even took a sample of my water back with them and analyzed it for me. They didn't try to up sell and spent a lot of time with me explaining how my well worked and answering some of my "stupid questions" I felt so comfortable with the company that I've asked them to come back and install a water softener in the next week.
Description of Work: Our well pump had issues over the weekend and we lost water pressure to our house. We had the company (not Foster Well and Pump) come to our house on Monday to fix the issue. We asked Foster Well and Pump to come check the work that the first service contractor did and we asked them to explain what happened over the weekend. This was something the first contractor was unable to do.
