A water well is a long-term investment in your property, and the company you choose matters as much as the equipment. A dry hole or a poorly built well is expensive to fix. Here's what to look for.
1. A current Texas license
Water well drillers and pump installers in Texas are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Ask for the license number and confirm it. A licensed driller is required to construct and report your well to state standards.

2. Real local experience
Hill Country geology changes from one tract to the next, and depth can swing from a couple hundred feet to over a thousand. A driller who works your area knows the aquifers and the right depth to target. (We've drilled this ground since 1985, see our guide to local well depths.)
3. Insurance and a written quote
Make sure they carry insurance, and get the scope and price in writing before work starts. Upfront, honest pricing is a good sign; a vague verbal number is not.
4. Reviews and references
Look at what other local homeowners say. Reviews from people in your area tell you how a company actually shows up.
5. One company for the whole system
Drilling is only the start. You'll want pumps, storage, and service down the road, so a full-service company that stands behind the whole system saves you headaches. That's how we work across the Hill Country. Get a quote and see the difference.
