How it works
We aren’t a contractor. We’re an editorial site that happens to know who the good drillers are. Here’s exactly what happens when you submit the form.
County, project type, rough timing. Two minutes, fewer than ten fields. Acreage and target gallons-per-minute help, but aren’t required.
We pick drillers licensed in your area who actually drill the depth and aquifer you need — not just whoever paid for placement.
Usually within 24 hours. They’ll ask about your site, your access road, and what your neighbors have. Some will want to come out before quoting.
Look at price per foot, casing spec, pump brand, warranty, lead time. We have a quote comparison guide if you want one. No pressure from us.
What “vetted” means here
The state already does a lot of the work. Every legal water well driller in Texas must be licensed by TDLR, and every well report gets filed with the state. That’s the floor. Here’s what we add.
We pull the TDLR licensee roster and remove anyone whose license lapses, is suspended, or carries an open disciplinary action.
A driller who lives down to the Edwards every week isn’t necessarily the right person for a 900-foot Trinity well. We route by what you actually need drilled.
Drillers who don’t file Well Reports — the legally required record of every well — don’t stay in our network.
We follow up with homeowners after the job. Patterns of unfinished pump installs, surprise re-drills, or unresponsive service get drillers removed.
Where we have drillers
Different parts of Texas drill into different aquifers, at very different depths, under very different rules. We work with contractors who know their patch.
Even if your county isn’t a major metro, fill out the form and we’ll route you to the nearest contractors who actually drive out that way.

Yes. You don’t pay us anything to request quotes, and you’re under no obligation to hire a driller you talk to. Our network pays a small flat fee when they pick up a lead — that’s how we keep the lights on.
The driller, directly. We don’t run a call center, and we don’t hand your information to a “matching service” that resells it. Up to three local, licensed drillers see your request; they reach out from their own numbers.
Usually the same day, almost always within 24 hours. The exception is during severe drought, when drillers across the state are buried in re-drill requests — expect a few days in those windows.
That’s fine — say so in the timing field. Some drillers will pass on early-stage leads, others are happy to walk you through what a well on your land would actually cost. If you’d rather not talk to anyone yet, start with our cost guide instead.
No. Drillers in our network are familiar with the permitting process in their counties and will tell you exactly what your local groundwater conservation district requires. For a statewide overview, see our permits guide.
You can — note it in the project notes field and we’ll only route to a single contractor. Most homeowners benefit from comparing at least two quotes, though, especially on wells over 500 feet.
Yes, especially for jobs over $10,000. A 10–30% deposit at scheduling is standard practice in Texas water well drilling. If anyone asks for full payment up front before drilling starts, walk away — and tell us.
For drillers
We’re building the most-trusted directory of Texas water well contractors, county by county. If you’re actively drilling, posting Well Reports, and taking on new residential or ag jobs, we want you in the network.
We charge a flat per-lead fee — no monthly subscription, no markup on the job itself. You see the homeowner’s county and project notes before you accept; you only pay when you accept.
