Hill Country water well service

Fast, reliable water well and pump repair

No water? Low pressure? Air sputtering at the tap? We diagnose the real problem and get your water flowing again, often the same day.

When your water stops, it's not something that can wait until next week. We offer same-day emergency service because we know what it means to turn on the tap and get nothing. Our crews carry the experience and the parts to track down the cause quickly instead of guessing.

We handle the full range of well and pump problems: sudden loss of pressure, air sputtering through the lines, failed or short-cycling pumps, clogged or collapsing casing, tripped controls, waterlogged pressure tanks, and contamination. We diagnose the system as a whole, pump, tank, electrical, and well, so the fix actually holds.

And we're honest about what we find. If a repair makes sense, we'll repair it. If the smarter long-term move is a replacement, we'll tell you that too, and explain why.

Problems we fix every week

  • Loss of water pressure. From a worn pump to a waterlogged tank, we find which it is.
  • Air spitting from faucets. Often a dropping water level or a leak in the system.
  • Pump failures. Repair or replacement of submersible and jet pumps.
  • Clogged or damaged casing. Restoring flow and protecting the well structure.
  • Water quality issues. Contamination, sediment, and cloudy water diagnosed and addressed.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

My water pressure dropped or stopped completely. Does that mean I need a whole new well?

Not usually. Low pressure, no water, or air sputtering at the faucet most often points to a repairable part like the pump, pressure tank, pressure switch, or a wiring or pipe issue rather than the well itself. We start by diagnosing the actual cause before recommending anything major, and in most cases a targeted repair gets you back up and running. Call us at (830) 816-3232 and we will help you figure out what is going on.

What are the warning signs that my well pump is starting to fail?

Common red flags include water pressure that fluctuates or drops, air sputtering and spitting from the taps, the pump cycling on and off rapidly, higher electric bills, or muddy and sandy water. You may also notice the pump running constantly without building pressure. Catching these signs early often means a smaller repair instead of a full pump replacement, so it is worth calling at the first symptom rather than waiting.

How quickly can you come out, and how long does a typical repair take?

We know being without water is stressful, so we prioritize getting to you as fast as we can, often the same day or next day depending on the schedule. Many common repairs like a pressure switch, pressure tank, or pump replacement are completed in a single visit. Deeper jobs that involve pulling the pump from the well can take longer, and we will give you a clear timeline once we have diagnosed the problem.

How much does a well or pump repair cost compared to drilling a brand new well?

Repair costs vary widely depending on what failed, how deep your pump sits, and which parts are involved, so we provide an honest estimate after we diagnose the issue rather than quoting blind. Repairing or replacing a pump is almost always far more affordable than drilling a completely new well, which is why it is usually the right path when the well itself is still sound. We will always tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or whether your well is reaching the end of its life.

How do I choose a trustworthy well repair company in the Hill Country?

Look for a licensed, established local company that knows the specific geology and water conditions of this area, since Hill Country wells behave differently than wells elsewhere in Texas. Ask whether they diagnose before recommending big-ticket work, and choose a company that explains your options in plain terms. TR Drilling and Service has served the Texas Hill Country since 1985, and we are always happy to talk through your situation at (830) 816-3232.
