Southern Utah's geology demands specialized equipment. From Cedar City's volcanic rock to Kane County's deep limestone formations, we've invested in the right tools for every challenge — so your well gets drilled right the first time.
GPS-tracked, 1,000+ foot capacity rigs engineered for Southern Utah's toughest formations
Our fleet of hydraulic rotary drilling rigs represents the current standard of the industry — built to handle everything Southern Utah's varied geology can throw at them. Whether you're on the red sandstone benches near St. George, the alluvial valleys around Hurricane, or the deep sedimentary layers of Kanab, these rigs are matched to the formation.
Every rig in our fleet is GPS-tracked for job site accuracy and dispatched based on formation type and depth requirement. We don't send a light rig to a 600-foot job.
Engineered for Cedar City volcanic rock and Kane County limestone — faster, lower cost per foot
Cedar City sits atop volcanic geology that will defeat under-equipped drilling operations. Kane County's deep limestone is equally unforgiving. Our downhole hammer and air rotary systems were chosen specifically for Southern Utah's hard rock challenges.
The downhole hammer works by driving a pneumatic percussive bit directly into rock with compressed air — delivering faster penetration rates than rotary alone and significantly lower cost per foot in consolidated rock formations. The drill cuttings are simultaneously lifted out of the borehole by the return air, keeping the hole clean and the bit cool.
Standard pressure tanks cycle your pump on and off hundreds of times per day. Every start puts mechanical stress on the motor and draws a surge of electricity. VFD systems eliminate that cycle entirely by modulating pump speed to match your household's real-time water demand — the pump runs slower when demand is low, faster when it's high, and the pressure stays constant throughout.
For Southern Utah properties where electricity costs are high and service calls are expensive, VFD systems typically pay for themselves within a few years through energy savings alone — before accounting for reduced maintenance and extended pump life.
Electronic depth and formation logging — know exactly what aquifer you've hit before a drop of water is pumped
Traditional well drilling was partly guesswork — drillers estimated formation depth from surface geology and neighboring well reports. Digital well logging eliminates the guesswork by recording electronic data in real time as the drill bit advances through each formation layer.
Our logging tools measure penetration rate, formation density, and drilling resistance at each foot of depth, building a continuous electronic record of your well's geology. When we hit an aquifer zone, we know its depth precisely, its thickness, and its likely yield — before we ever set pump depth.
TDS, pH, turbidity, and arsenic screening completed at the drill site — not weeks later from a lab
Southern Utah has naturally elevated mineral content in many aquifer zones — including arsenic in certain areas of Washington and Kane counties. Knowing your water quality at the drill site allows immediate decisions about casing depth, screen placement, and whether additional treatment will be needed.
Our technicians perform field testing during well development, providing same-day results on key parameters. This is not a substitute for a full certified lab analysis, but it gives you actionable information before you leave the job site.
See every inch of your well casing, screen, and interior — without pulling the pump or guessing at the problem
When an existing well starts underperforming — lower pressure, reduced yield, discolored water — the traditional diagnostic approach was trial and error. Pull the pump, check the pump, put it back, hope for the best. Our fiber optic downhole camera eliminates that guesswork entirely.
The camera travels the full depth of your well in real time, transmitting high-resolution video to a surface monitor. We can see casing cracks, screen plugging, mineral encrustation, pump intake condition, and any debris or obstructions — before touching the pump. This leads to faster diagnoses, more accurate repair estimates, and avoids unnecessary pump pulls.
We'll visit your site, assess your geology, and recommend the right drilling method and pump system — at no charge.
