Well Drilling & Pump Repair in Edgefield, SC

From the pottery town to the peach orchards — your well, handled

Edgefield sits on the SC Piedmont near the fall line, the historic county seat famous for Old Edgefield pottery, its “home of ten governors” heritage, and the National Wild Turkey Federation. Ride out along US-25, SC-23, SC-19, or SC-430 and the town gives way fast to farm and orchard country — the peach groves toward Johnston and Trenton, the crossroads at Merriwether and Modoc, and the lake-fringe lots near Clarks Hill and J. Strom Thurmond Lake where the Savannah River backs up to the west. Out here almost nobody is on city water. Homes, farms, hunting tracts, and lake places all run on private wells, and when one quits, everything stops.

Most wells around Edgefield are drilled bedrock wells that punch into the crystalline Piedmont rock and granite in the north of the county, grading toward sandier fall-line and Sandhills soils as you drop toward the Savannah River — and that geology is what drives how deep you go and what it costs. Water pulled off this rock tends to carry iron and hardness, so rusty staining, that metallic taste, and scaled-up fixtures are common complaints. On top of that, a lot of the pumps serving these homes have been in the ground for twenty or thirty years, and aging pumps fail — usually on the hottest day of summer. We keep them producing, treat the water, and drill new wells when it is time.
