Why TR Drilling
Four decades of knowing exactly where the water is
Out here, the difference between a great well and a dry hole comes down to who's reading the ground. Beneath the Hill Country sits a complicated mix of limestone, clay, and fractured rock, some wells hit water at 200 feet, others need 1,000 or more. We've been drilling this exact terrain since 1985, and that local knowledge is the most valuable thing we bring to your property. Curious what's under your land? See our guide to the Hill Country aquifers.
- Local geology expertise. We know the aquifers, depths, and formations across Kendall, Kerr, Bandera, and Comal counties.
- Quick quotes, usually same day. You'll get a clear, written estimate, not just a rough number over the phone.
- Honest, upfront pricing. We tell you what the job involves and what it costs, with no surprises on the invoice.
- Licensed, insured, and accountable. Texas-licensed drillers and pump installers standing behind every job.
How a new well comes together
A clear process from test hole to running water
Site evaluation
We walk your property, study the local formations, and pinpoint the best spot and target depth for a reliable water source.
Drilling & casing
We drill to the aquifer, then set steel or PVC casing and grout to seal out surface contamination and prevent collapse.
Pump & pressure
We install the right pump, pressure tank, and controls for your usage, then test the water before it goes into service.
Testing & handover
We flow-test the well, confirm water quality, and walk you through how to care for your new system for the long haul.
Protect your water system
Join our Maintenance Plan
Most well failures do not warn you, the pump just quits, often on a hot weekend when you need water most. Our plan catches the wear early: two thorough inspections a year keep your pump, tank, and well running, and find the small issues while they are still small and cheap to fix.
- A full 10-point system check, every six months. Wiring, pressure, pumps, tanks, and piping, all inspected.
- Priority scheduling on service calls when you need us.
- Free first hour of labor on service calls.
$500 per year. Pricing valid within 25 miles of Boerne.
New: around-the-clock monitoring
Watch your well from your phone with NightOwl
As an authorized NightOwl installer, we put your well's live data right in your pocket. The cellular system streams water level, pressure, and pump activity around the clock and alerts you the moment something changes, so you catch trouble long before a dry tap.
- Real-time tracking of water level, pressure, and pump activity on your phone or computer.
- Instant text or email alerts when pressure drops, power is lost, or levels change.
- Cellular and always connected, no Wi-Fi needed, anywhere in the Hill Country.
Builders & developers
Wells and well plugging for new development
Putting in a subdivision or a commercial project? We drill and equip high-capacity and shared wells, and we locate, plug, and document the old wells a survey turns up, on your construction schedule, with the filed reports your title company and the county need.
- New wells and water systems for subdivisions, irrigation, and commercial property.
- Bulk well plugging across a tract or several communities, scheduled to your build.
