Description of Work: We just moved into a new home and during the home inspection process, our water test failed so my husband and I tried to chlorinate the well ourselves, when we went to flush it out, the well lost electricity and we had no water. I immediately called Runyun and they fit us in same day to repair well. Two guys showed up, in the pouring rain, they pulled our well, repaired it and then came inside to answer the many questions we had about being first time property owners with a well and septic system. I highly recommend this company, very friendly and professional.

We were faced with some physical space limitations when trying to install an Acid Neutralizer System. Runyon technical folks came on two separate occasions to assess the situation, and then agreed to bring the actual unit on-site to make sure it would fit properly. Runyon's quotation was detailed, and Robert Snell, the General Manager, was willing to discuss pros and cons of different options and answer all of our questions. It should be noted that Runyon's not-to-exceed quote was several hundred dollars less than that of another A-Rated Angie's List provider. Upon starting the work, it became clear that we would also need a new Pressure Tank, as the current one had rusted underneath and was starting to leak. Runyon got the new Tank the same day, completed the work on-time, and was able to bring the final price (including the Tank) to only $250 over the original estimate !! I cannot say enough good things about this company. We have used them for years, and they have always been prompt, delivering an excellent result at a very good price. If you have any needs with respect to your well, you will do yourself a great favor by allowing FS Runyon to compete for your business.

I called FS RUNYON WELL & PUMP SERVICE to get second opinion and an estimate on one of the quote that one of the contractor to replace the well pump. Not only that they did give me some suggestions on the phone but they even come out to do an estimate and gave me an honest assessment what I should do and not do at no charge. Their estimate is much cheaper than other contractor. I would love to have them doing the job for me but I don't have the pump to do the same day for me. Again thanks for coming out to take a look at my problem. Thanks for being honest. Cannot thanks your guys enough. Tony

The work turned out great! They did a very nice job. They had to take my fence down to get a big truck in my backyard and it is a very deep well and they did a terrific job overall! The holding tank is in my basement and they had to work inside as well. They were very respectful, they didn’t stomp on my garden and they did a great job and when they were done they had rebuilt the fence and you couldn’t even tell they had taken it down. If I ever had to have work on the well or pump again I would definitely call them back. I called them and they were here the same day. They are one of the best contractors we have!

They sent someone over quickly to a**** the job. They gave me an estimate to dig my sump pump deeper and fix the plumbing on it. (I inherited a do-it-yourself job from the previous owner.) They showed up on time, did exactly what they said they would do, it was quality work, and it was a lot less than the estimate. I would use them again without hesitation.

We ended up working with Valley Well and drilled a new well. Not cheap but we have great water, clean water, no turbidity and no bacteria. It doesn't make sense to mess around with your water supply.
Description of Work: We had problems with a well. It did not test out during water testing and after shocking it twice, we still had concerns. Runyon came out and did a test for us. We were told bacterial content was too high and the suggestion was that we go with a UV lamp. when we checked with Valley Well, they explained that the turbidity was too high and we would constantly be cleaning the lamp and even then it might not do the job.

Response from Runyon Pump & Well Service
Member, we appreciate your feedback, and will use it to improve the way we conduct our daily business with our valued customers. Your grading concerns me however, particularly with the professionalism and responsiveness categories. The only interaction that may have been perceived by you as unprofessional was the e-mail I had sent you letting you know that you were more than 30 days past due on your invoice, something that I am sorry that you took such offense to, but was easily (and professionally) remedied by correcting your e-mail address. I also did my personal best to attempt to save your family money by researching and then directing your husband to a website where he could purchase the UV light at a great savings, rather than purchasing through us. Concerning the responsiveness, we made every attempt to coordinate meeting with you, and were fortunate enough to catch your husband prior to leaving for work early on a Tuesday morning, and he was very gracious. Prior to that meeting, every time we tried to schedule, you were unable to meet us, which was why we ended up taking a bacteria sample from the outside spigot…also leading to the reason why we were unable to collect a mineral sample (which should be taken from inside the house at the pressure tank). It is unfortunate to me that you would extend that courtesy to meeting with another company, and then rate us negatively for it. It is also unfortunate that you were convinced that in order to resolve your bacteria problem you had to have a new well drilled. The turbidity (something we would have tested for prior to installing the unit with a mineral test) could have been resolved very easily with a simple filter, and the inexpensive UV light would've worked just fine. A few hundred dollars for the filter and UV light, compared to a few thousand for a new well (probably more than that, I’m sure you know) to provide you clean water is the way we would have had you go…because you are right, it doesn’t make sense to mess around with your water supply…we just try to accomplish that by not depleting our customers’ savings account in the process.

I contacted the company via email and received a prompt response. They immediately sent someone over to provide an estimate and the actual cost was in line with the estimate. The work was conducted on the day I requested; they arrived promptly; and the service was great. Additionally, there had been some confusion on our part regarding the cost of the water treatment analysis and the company honored the initial price we mistakenly thought the service cost even though it was significantly lower than the cost incurred by the company. I would use this company again without thinking twice and I recommend it to others. The customer service and professionalism of the company were unparalleled.
Description of Work: The company replaced our concrete well casing, floor drain and installation. Additionally, the company conducted a water contaminant analysis.

They were very responsive, came quickly, pulled the well pipe (without cracking it, a feat because it is 90 some odd feet long and made of poly) and replaced the pump without problem.
Description of Work: We have used Runyon for over 20 years. They have serviced our well the entire time we have lived in this house.They were here twice when lightening hit the well and burned up the pump and one other time when we were having another problem. They were always very responsive, did a great job, had everything they needed on the truck so we did not have to wait for something to be ordered. Their prices were very reasonable (don't remember the last charge) We are very happy with them and will continue to use their services. I highly recommend.

They were really nice and at the time we needed assistance with a neighbor and they were willing to help. They helped her get back in her bed since she had fallen out.
Description of Work: They replaced my pump on the well. They did what they were supposed to and came in at a good price. They were quick and efficient and it was a pleasant experience for what could have been a very bad experience since I had no water on the 4th of July. The people in the office were professional and helpful.

These guys were friendly, informative and very competent. When they said something was going to happen, it did. I had subsequent calls re gravel in the water lines as result of the pump work. Though not work that is normally part of the contract work, they either talked me through the simple plumbing, or stopped by to help me out at no charge. In this instance, the young lady who was manning the phone was extremely responsible in coordination visits -- far beyond other service contractors we have experience with. Re cost: I had no idea what these services normally cost, but I considered I was over a barrel and at their mercy, to coin a cliche. I subsequently determined that their charges were competitive, especially considering the after-the-fact attention we got.
Description of Work: Ahh, the midst of the Christmas holidays, all of the family home with more house guests expected momentarily and the water pump fails. Marital discord is in the air. I searched Angie's List and a at 7:00 A.M. called Runyon Well Drilling & Pump. Instead of a voice mail telling me to call back in a couple of days I got a voice mail telling me to leave a number and I'd be called back in 15 minutes. Received a call back in 10 minutes. Explained the issue and they said they'd be here in an hour and a quarter; they took an hour and twenty minutes. They checked out the basement wiring and declared a failure in one of the power lines to the pump. They pulled up about 350 feet of line, tubing and pump and replaced all the lines and the pump. They were finished at 4:00 P.M. Marital harmony restored.

They walked me through the process of replacing the rusted pipe. They dug up the old pipe and replaced it for us. They helped us to get our inspection and walked us through the requirements to have the county sign it off. When it had the initial inspection, they came back and filled in the hole. They told us the kind of cover that we should get to cover the pipe. They are the people I would call if I ever have a problem again.
Description of Work: We had a well upgrade. The pipe in the ground was rusted and we replaced it.
