I provided new water well construction, well repair, submersible pump system installation and maintenance, storage and pressure tank systems. As an independent well-rig owner and operator, I specialized in shallow depth (60-175 feet) wells in the foothill areas using an economic drilling method called cable-tool drilling. I provided affordable alternatives to deep hole exploration by focusing on by-the-foot exploration of mountain properties using geologic surveying to make water availability predictions.
