Certain jobs are best left to specialists. For example, you should leave surgery to surgeons, and you should leave well drilling to experienced well drilling contractors like those on our team at Barefoot’s Well Drilling and Pump Service. Our team has been working in the well drilling business for many years, and we know what it takes to succeed in this industry. In this article, we’ll go over a few hallmarks of a great well drilling contractor to help you find the best person for the job.
- Experience – When looking for a well drilling contractor, one of the first things you should ask each candidate is how much experience they have. Ideally, you want a contractor with many years of experience in drilling wells, and specifically one with plenty of practice in drilling the particular type of well you require.
- Knowledge – Another hallmark of a great well drilling contractor is thorough knowledge of their business. Our drilling contractors are thoroughly familiar with local geological conditions as well as with local laws and regulations, all of which helps us deliver excellent results on our projects while also staying on schedule.
- References – Finally, a great well drilling contractor will have a solid reputation with their past clients. When interviewing each candidate, ask them to provide a list of client references for you to contact. A reputable contractor will be happy to provide this information. Then, call a few of the previous clients on the list and ask about what their experience with the contractor was like—if they have good things to say, then you can feel confident about moving forward with your hiring decision.
