Water well repair in Horseshoe Bay

When a Horseshoe Bay well starts acting up, the symptoms are usually familiar: low or lost pressure, no water at all, air sputtering and spitting at the faucet, dirty or sandy water, a pump that short-cycles on and off, or a pump that has simply failed. A repair is almost always far more affordable than drilling a new well, so it pays to find out what is actually wrong first. We diagnose the whole system, the pump, the pressure tank, the pressure switch, the wiring, and the well itself, before we recommend anything, because the part that is failing is not always the part you would guess.

Horseshoe Bay sits on the south shore of Lake LBJ in the granite-and-limestone country of Llano County, where wells draw from the Llano Uplift aquifers, the Hickory, the Ellenburger-San Saba, and Marble Falls. Depths range widely here, and the Hickory's artesian zone can run well over a thousand feet, so knowing which formation a well is finished in matters a great deal when something goes wrong. Deep settings and hard Paleozoic rock are tough on pumps and pressure systems, and when Highland Lakes levels drop in a dry stretch, water tables and well performance can shift, which is exactly when pressure problems, sand, and short-cycling tend to show up.

TR Drilling and Service is the established, professional name Llano County well owners call, licensed and insured and working across this region since 1985, more than 40 years. 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 use of your money rather than pushing the bigger job. We stand behind the work we do, and we move fast on no-water calls, because a household with no water cannot wait.
