Water well repair in Burnet

TR Drilling repairs the everyday well problems that leave a Burnet home without reliable water: low or lost pressure, no water at all, air sputtering at the faucets, dirty or sandy water, a pump that short-cycles on and off, and outright pump failure. In most cases a repair is far more affordable than drilling a new well, and we will not push you toward a replacement you do not need. Before we recommend anything, we diagnose the whole system, the pump, the pressure tank, the pressure switch, the wiring, and the well itself, so the real cause gets fixed the first time.

Burnet sits on the layered Paleozoic formations of the Llano Uplift, and wells in and around town pull from the Ellenburger-San Saba, Hickory, Marble Falls, and Trinity, with the local supply at Bertram drawn from the Ellenburger-San Saba carbonate. Those layers stack at very different depths from one tract to the next, so a well finished in the deep Hickory behaves nothing like a shallower carbonate well a mile away. The deeper granite-country settings put hard, steady demand on a pump, and when the water level drops during a lean Highland Lakes year, a pump set too high begins pulling air, cycling hard, and wearing out early. Reading that local layering correctly is what lets us separate a true water-level problem from a worn pump or a failing tank.

TR Drilling has been the established, professional name Burnet County well owners call since 1985, licensed and insured, and serving the Highland Lakes and the eastern Hill Country. We lead with a real diagnosis instead of a sales pitch, and we tell you honestly whether a repair or a full pump replacement is the smarter use of your money, with financing available when a larger job makes sense. We stand behind our work, and when your household is out of water we move fast on no-water calls, often the same day.

What we fix in Burnet

• Lost or low water pressure traced to the pump, tank, or pressure switch.
• No water at all fast diagnosis of the well, pump, and power.
• Air sputtering at the taps often a dropping level or a leak on the line.
• Dirty, cloudy, or smelly water we find the source instead of just filtering it.
• Short-cycling or a pump that never stops usually a tank or switch problem, and fixable.
• Failed or aging pumps repaired, or replaced when that is the smarter money.
