They were very professional and know what they are doing. Done properly. These are the guys to hire!
Description of Work: Our well pump went out and being new to wells, I had no idea who to call. Called a local plumber, they came out, charged us $85 just for the visit. Then proceeded to tell us it would cost $3300 but couldn't get to us until the following week. Desperate, I called Runyon. Robert answered at 5:00 pm and was able to get a crew out the following morning. They took a look and fixed it within an hour at half the cost as the plumber wanted to charge us. We also just got a water softener and acid neutralizer installed. It was a challenge as all that had to be put under the house, but they made it work. VERY happy with our new water.

Well stopped working on day of a snow storm. We called a few places and most could not come out for a few days and the quotes were in the $9000 range due to the 900 foot depth of the well and our desperation to have water again. Found Runyon on Angie's List and left them a message that night. They called back as soon as they opened the next day and stopped by for a quick assessment on the way to another job. Runyon was onsite the next day and worked a long day in freezing temps to get us back online. The cost was half of what the other places were trying to charge. They did a fantastic job and we appreciated the quick, honest service.

I called Runyon Well to help me with our well that was showing contamination after another firm tested it and wanted an excessive amount to clean and retest. They went above and beyond in responding to my call and explaining what needed to be done.

Nice job, couldn't have done any better., I was traveling, had the wife and kid at home to handle. The crew was polite, respectful, and took the time to explain what the next actions were, and when leaving showed everyting and left a card in case of other questions. Just couldn't have asked fo what is "omg time ..no water" and I'm 1000 miles away, to outstanding job Runyon; Thank you.
Description of Work: Water was out. Called Runyon in the eve, his crew was there the next morn, assessed problem. Replaced the controller box and pulled my 300+" well pump up to fix the shorted wires, dropped the pump back down, tided up everything, and water was running 3 hours after his arrival.

On Sunday night 9/11/16 around 7:30 pm our well stopped and we had no water. I called Runyon Well, who's been our well servicer for the past 12 years, and Rob returned my call promptly. He trouble-shooted the problem with me and gave me a suggestion to solve the problem - I needed to turn something off for 45 minutes. In the mean-time, Huntley called me and walked-me through some other steps to hopefully get the water back on. Thankfully, his recommendations (combined with what Rob had us do) led to the water turning back on!!! Then, Rob called me back around 9pm after tucking his kids in! He called just to make sure our water had come back on - how nice is that ? They have always been professional and solved our few problems over the many years. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a private well. Sincerely, Laura Sullivan
Description of Work: We have used Runyon Pump & Well Service for 12 years and they have always been responsive to any well issues we've had. They are very knowledgeable and ready to fix the problem in the most cost-efficient way too.

When they arrived they stated that they don't work on Kinetico systems and also discovered that I am on a community well system, so they left after being here for 5 minutes. They never told me that they were going to charge me for the service call just for showing up. I apologize for making them come out since they couldn't do anything and they responded by saying that they had an appt in Vienna and had to come this way either way. The two guys were very nice, but never mentioned that I was going to be charged for the visit. Once I received the invoice, I sent a note to the owner asking him to reconsider charging for the service call and he agreed that it didn't make sense given the short visit.

Our well water was tasting funny so I called Runyon. I spoke with Robert. He was very nice. He sent some service guys out a couple days later. They were very professional and helpful. They tested our water and showed us how our water softener works since we were new to well water. They were wonderful. I would definitely use them again.

On Thursday evening my well pump stopped working. I left a message and within a few hours received a call back from Runyon. They had a crew here the next morning at 9:30, and within 4 hours completed the entire task of replacing my jet pump and old pressure tank with a new submersible pump and pressure tank. The estimate I was provided Thursday evening was exactly the same as the final invoice price. The entire team was very professional and kept me apprised of the progress. A week later the water is again clear, drinkable, and with significant more water pressure than before their work was performed. I would highly recommend them.

Robert and his team were simply fantastic. We had air in our water lines and in our water tanks. Robert and team went through a whole series of troubleshooting inquiries and inspections to deduce that the issue was inside the well. They were right. They brought in a crane, lifted the pump and casing and identified and resolved the issue: holes in the casing. Throughout, Robert sent me photos of the issues, talked me through the diagnostic, and provided it all at a very reasonable cost. In fact, his estimate to repair was higher than the actual cost--something that rarely is the case with service providers. Thanks, Robert.

I really like working with Runyon well. They are always looking for the best and most efficient and cost effective ways to deal with water pumps (well). Before anyone even comes out, Robert (the owner) asks me to send pictures of the issue so he can get a handle on the situation, which is such a big help scheduling and all. He always looks for a way to repair it, rebuild it (all of our equipment is fairly old--but we finally had to replace the pump last year after 20 years. Anyway, they are very friendly, efficient and watch out for the customer. I wish all maintenance were so easy to deal with.

Rob spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me, walking through some diagnostic steps, but ended up sending a technician. The technician arrived mid-day and quickly concluded that the pump protection device was blown. He made sure the pump worked (and it did), and the next business day an estimate for a replacement came in by email. It was over the same day; installation took 30 minutes. Price was very reasonable. We couldn't be more satisfied.
Description of Work: We do not have city water - run our own well. After a power outage water pressure dropped, and the warning light came on the pump control unit. While we were able to restore the pressure to a usable level by resetting the system, the warning light stayed on, telling us something was wrong, so we were not sure if we would be able to take a shower next day. We sent a message to Runoyn on their Web site, and goit a call from them before 7 am the following morning.

We found Runyon through Angie's List and placed an early morning call because we had no water service at all. After stepping through some questions over the phone, Robert was able to get technicians out to our house very quickly to replace one of the components of our well pump system. Very professional and courteous - would definitely recommend and use their services again.

It was a great experience and I can't recommend them enough. From the very beginning, they took a very consultative approach with me - and gave me different options/price points. This was very important for me because even though I am very knowledgeable on household DIY projects, Even though I think of myself as a mini-general contractor with my construction and engineering experience, I have never dealt with a well before and the surrounding / supporting systems. I move to my house 5 years ago and I am amazed how many contractors there that simply try to screw up over on price and quality - and I can quickly tell when a vendor is trying to get over on me. However, in this case, it was the polar opposite of that! In this case, the knowledge, service and options they presented for every item I threw at them - were fantastic! It gave my hope that all services firms aren't #$%#$%... After even my initial conversation with them, I could tell that this was a top notch firm. That culture of customer satisfaction and excellence was shown from the first call dealing with Rob - and lasted until the last follow-up trip from Huntley and team. What a great company culture! Like I said, they provided a lot of high value added service and their work was great. Here is just one example, I had them relocate items in my mechanical room: meaning disconnect most of your house's plumbing and move it for better access, etc.. Well 'anyone' can do that - it's not that hard to do. However, when I walked into the room to see their final product, it was amazing! Meaning - it was the most 'professional' plumbing job that I have ever seen. The joints on the pipes were PERFECT with no 'slop' (extra glue or primer running down the sides, etc). Everything was securely fastened to concrete. It was clean/wiped down. AND MOST OF ALL, they came in UNDER BUDGET for the job!! These guys are great ? and I just can?t say enough good things about them!
Description of Work: They did A LOT for me - as I was new to wells and everything related to them. One of the most important parts was how they 'coached' and guided me through MANY things that I had going on with my house. Where do I start: Well, Well Pump, Water Filtering, plumbing, consulting on additional equipment, electrical and mechanical systems, relocating/optimizing my mechanical room (moved hot water heater, etc), irrigation integration/tank setup, suggestions on existing in floor radiant heating systems, electronic and mechanical ball valve / control systems, and I am sure there is more that I am forgetting ...

Our water would occasionally just stop running in the middle of showers for about 15-20 seconds and then come back on. We are new to the area and I wasn't sure if we should call a plumber or a well pump person, so on to Angie's List I went. I decided to call Runyon and spoke with Robert. I told him I suspected it was either the pressure switch or the tank, but I wasn't sure if I should be calling him or a plumber. He then took the time OVER THE PHONE to walk through a few simple steps to determine what it was. It turned out we needed a new pressure switch and pressure gauge. By the time we finished the conversation, he was at the store where he had to pick up a few supplies and he said he would pull what we needed and my husband could just come pick them up. How many businesses would do that??? Amazing!!! So we got the parts picked up and we installed the new parts in about 15 minutes. Robert even followed up the following day to make sure everything worked as he said it would. There is no doubt that if we have any other issues that I will call Robert. This is one company that looks out for their customers best interests and customer service is FANTASTIC. Thank you Robert for being the kind of business that you can solidly trust, not only just for being so smart and knowing what the issues are, but for being one where integrity and customer service is excellent!

To someone like me who really takes note of excellent customer care, I really wanted to be able to share my experience with Runyon Well today. Yes - they installed our original well in 1998 and repaired it in 2009 and they did great work both times. But when the well went out yesterday on another property we own, outside of the service area of Runyon Well, we called other companies for emergency service. We met with a company and their rep just didn't seem to know what we thought he should and their estimate seemed VERY HIGH. We wrestled all night over what to do and then this morning I decided I would try my luck and see if I could at least get some info from Runyon Well since we had worked with them in the past. I certainly did not get what I expected. Robert answered the phone first thing this morning and even though he knew he wasn't going to work on the project, he spent WAY MORE TIME on the phone with me than you might even expect someone you are paying to. He researched numbers for me, explained what I should look for and ask about and was kind and professional and KNOWLEDGEABLE throughout the extended conversation. In the end, because of him, we have gone with another company and have saved THOUSANDS by doing so. Rarely do I find a company that will take the time to do what Robert did today and this is a great place for me to share my great experience. Will definitely use them if/when we need any well services.

This started with a phone call about a week prior to them arriving for service, due to schedules, my husband couldn't meet with them until the following week, not that they couldn't have come sooner. During the week, my husband was in contact with Robert several times and assisted in doing some troubleshooting that Robert advised him to do over the phone to ensure the issue was with the pump. When the two gentlemen arrived on Friday, they were quick and efficient in replacing the well pump and discovering there was a crack in the pump end, which may have been there since the last install. The system is only as good as the technician installing it, we experience this at our own work as well. We have utmost confidence in the quality of their workmanship. We had called TLC prior to this company and their quote to fix the issue was 5-6x the price.

My husband and I moved to a home with a well in Great Falls in January. We are slowly learning the ins and outs of our house. This past week we started experiencing water pressure problems through out the house. One second there would be pressure and then it would go away and it had nothing to do with multiple things running at one time. So I called one place on Angie's list that had more A reviews than Robert and they said that it is probably a pump problem and that it would be $188 to come out to diagnose the problem. I thought that that was a lot of money so I decided to give FS Runyon a call and boy am I glad that I did! I explained our problem to Robert and he asked if I was willing to try a few "experiments" over the phone to see if his ideas would fix the problem. I really appreciate the fact that he cared more about SAVING US MONEY than making money off of us. And guess what...his experiment was right! We had not changed the filter since we had moved in so he recommended we do that first and it worked, changing the filter fixed all of our water pressure problems. AMAZING! I am so incredibly grateful for Robert's honesty and would recommend him to anyone. I know that if i ever have a water problem again, then I am calling FS Runyon. Call FS Runyon FIRST and don't even bother with the other well companies!
