Water well repair in Dripping Springs

If your Dripping Springs property runs on a private well and something has gone wrong, you do not have to live with it. We repair wells and pumps throughout Dripping Springs and the surrounding Hays County acreage: low or lost pressure, no water at all, sputtering air at the taps, dirty or cloudy water, short-cycling, a pump that never shuts off, and outright pump failures. Most of these turn out to be routine fixes once you find the real cause, and a repair is almost always far more affordable than drilling a new well. We diagnose the whole system, the pump, the pressure tank, the pressure switch, the wiring, and the well itself, before we recommend anything.

Dripping Springs draws from the Middle Trinity Aquifer, the producing zone of stacked Lower Glen Rose, Hensell Sand, and Cow Creek Limestone, managed by the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. Wells out here have to reach down into that limestone to find dependable water, and when the aquifer level drops, your pump has to work harder to lift it, which is exactly when air at the taps, weak pressure, and a short-cycling or overworked pump start showing up. The multi-year Hill Country drought has pushed Trinity water levels lower across western Hays County, and a pump set for the old water level can begin pulling air and losing prime long before the well itself is empty. Knowing how these wells behave as the aquifer drops is what separates a correct repair from a parts-swapping guess.

TR Drilling and Service is the established, professional name that Hays County well owners call when the water stops. We have been licensed and insured and working Hill Country ground since 1985, more than 40 years of knowing these aquifers and the depths around Dripping Springs. We lead with a real diagnosis instead of a sales pitch, and we will tell you honestly whether a repair or a pump replacement is the smarter money rather than reaching for the most expensive option. We stand behind the work, financing is available when a bigger job is the right call, and we move fast on no-water calls so your household is not left without water any longer than it has to be.
