We understand that you may have questions about our processes and products. Below, we've compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive regarding water well systems, from initial drilling costs to ongoing pump maintenance.


  • How deep do you typically need to drill for a new water well?

    The depth of a well varies significantly based on local geology and the water table level. In areas like Lubbock and Amarillo, TX, well depths can range from a couple of hundred feet to much deeper to ensure access to a sustainable and clean water source. We conduct thorough assessments to determine the optimal drilling depth for your specific location.

  • What is involved in the water well drilling process?

    The water well drilling process begins with a site assessment to choose the best location. We then use specialized drilling rigs to penetrate the ground and rock layers to reach the aquifer. Once the desired depth is reached, we install a well casing to prevent collapse and protect the water from contaminants. Finally, the well is developed and tested to ensure a clean and steady water flow.

  • How long does it take to drill a new water well?

    The timeline for water well drilling can vary from a few days to over a week. The duration depends on the well's depth, the hardness of the rock and soil, and weather conditions. Our team at Rodgers Well Service works efficiently to complete the project as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.

  • What are the signs that I might need a well water pump repair service?

    Common indicators that your well pump may need repairs include no water flow, low water pressure, strange noises coming from the pump or pipes, dirty water, or your pump cycling on and off frequently. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to call for a professional well water pump repair service immediately to diagnose and fix the problem.

  • Can you repair all types of well pumps?

    Yes, our technicians are experienced in servicing and repairing a wide range of well pumps, including submersible pumps and jet pumps. We can handle various brands and models.

  • What is the process for water pump installation?

    A new water pump installation involves selecting the correct size and type of pump for your well's depth and your household's water needs. Our team will then install the pump, connect it to your plumbing and electrical systems, and test it thoroughly to ensure it operates efficiently and provides consistent water pressure.

  • What are the benefits of using poly pipe for irrigation systems?

    Poly pipe, or polyethylene pipe, is an excellent choice for irrigation systems because it is durable, flexible, and resistant to corrosion and chemicals. Its flexibility allows for easier installation around obstacles, and its smooth interior surface reduces friction, improving water flow and system efficiency.

  • How do I know if I need a new water pump installation or just a repair?

    Our technicians can help you make that determination. We will assess the age of your pump, the extent of the damage, and the cost of repairs versus replacement. In many cases, if a pump is old and requires frequent, costly repairs, a new water pump installation may be the more economical solution in the long run.

  • What kind of maintenance does a water well require?

    We recommend annual inspections for your water well system. This includes checking the pump's performance, water pressure, and electrical components. Regular water quality testing is also crucial to ensure your water remains safe to drink. Preventive maintenance can extend the life of your well and pump system.
