We have had to call on a couple emergencies. Home pump went down and the pump on our rental property. Both times the response was immediate and solutions found swiftly. They are great to work with and fair on their pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hewitt-Messenger Well Drilling & Pump Service
How do I decide where to drill my well?
Determining the ideal location for your well involves evaluating several crucial factors. Consulting with experienced well drilling professionals is your best course of action. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that over 43 million Americans rely on private wells for drinking water, underscoring the importance of careful planning. Key considerations include the site's terrain and accessibility, both now and in the future, especially if nearby development is anticipated. You'll need to adhere to legal setbacks from property lines and septic systems, which may vary by location. Additionally, factor in the current and potential future placement of structures and utility lines when making your decision.
Do I need a permit to drill a well?
Yes, a permit is typically required for well drilling. However, it's advisable to check with your specific county for local regulations. The state of Missouri mandates a well certification report upon completion, which we will provide as part of our service. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our well pump service team.
How deep will I have to go to find water?
Well depth can vary significantly depending on local geological conditions. The formations in your area largely determine the depth, yield, and construction methods necessary for safe and effective well drilling. As experienced local well drillers, we combine our expertise with research on nearby wells to provide a clearer picture of your project's requirements. After assessing your specific site, we can offer a more precise estimate of the well construction process and associated costs.
How much water will I need?
Water requirements vary based on individual needs. In our experience, average usage typically amounts to about 100 gallons per person per day. It's important to note that landscaping can significantly impact water consumption. For more detailed information tailored to your situation, we encourage you to contact our well pump service.
What is casing, and how much will I need?
Casing is a crucial component of well construction, consisting of metal or plastic pipe that lines the borehole. It serves to protect your well by sealing out contaminants, supporting surrounding rock and soil, and preventing corrosion over time. As part of our comprehensive service, we install casing in full compliance with Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regulations, based on the specific requirements of your well location.
What is a PVC liner, and do I need one?
A PVC liner is a hard plastic pipe made from polyvinyl chloride, serving a similar purpose to casing. It's used to prevent contamination, contain surrounding formations, and protect against rust. The PVC liner is installed inside the casing and borehole. For more specific information about whether a PVC liner is necessary for your well, please contact our well pump service team.
