B. W. Layman & Sons Well Drilling

B. W. Layman & Sons Well Drilling

(9 reviews)

These guys are honest! I had a low pressure problem with my well. I had someone else come out who…read moresaid that I needed a new well! I called B.W. Layman, Phil came out and said it was a pumping problem, not a well problem. He sent a team out to do a complete cleaning. They worked politely and professionally on the hottest day of the year! They solved my problem for a fraction of what the other guy wanted! When I do need a well dug, they are the only phone call I will make because I can trust what they say,

I truly wish I could give this company zero stars. But let me start by saying that I'm a real…read moreestate agent who represented a seller who was selling the home that belonged to his father for 29 years. After his dad's passing, him and his wife prepared the home in order to list it. I've known this couple for a long time - they are the most amazing people. The kind of people who would drop everything and help you in a time of need. Honestly, I had never even heard them speak poorly about anyone... until Layman & Sons came into the picture. The home needed a new well in order to be financed by the buyer they accepted an offer from. A contract was in place for the price, a large deposit was paid, and Layman & Sons verbally agreed to allow the balance of the new well to be paid after closing in a few months. During the install, the lack of communication from Layman & Sons made it impossible to provide updates to the buyers. With growing concerns about no one showing up, reports not being sent to the County, and the owner of the company, Phil, verbally assaulting Mrs. Seller, I began communicating directly with Phil's wife Karen. She gave me a backhanded apology for Phil's behavior, acknowledging that he was rude to Mrs. Seller (never actually apologizing) and admitting that "He doesn't explain things well." She then excused his behavior by saying he was frustrated and had a man-cold. As a business owner myself, I get frustrated too, but I would never take it out on a client. His lack of control over his emotions, his inability to communicate effectively & take accountability, and his total disregard for showing up to the jobsite are just a few ways he is completely unprofessional. As if that weren't enough, in order to get back at the sellers, he went back on his word and filed a lien on the property. Even his wife, Karen, knew it was wrong of him to do that. She texted me "I asked him not to but he did it anyway." Take a look at the way he responds to any negative review, because that's the kind of "man" you'll be dealing with if you hire Layman & Sons. He has caused my clients so much undeserved stress. I will never recommend them to anyone. I don't want my clients going through what these clients had to endure.

Wyckoff Well Drilling - New oressure switch

Wyckoff Well Drilling

Woke up in the morning the other day where we had no water in our home. After reviewing both…read moreGoogle and Yelp reviews for well contractors in the area we settled on Wyckoff Well Drilling based on all the positive reviews where Google is a 5 star average! I called the business at 7:30 am, a time that most businesses of this nature were closed and was surprised to reach a human voice on the other end end. Seeing that we were literally out of water and in a lurch the owner, Robert, was able to juggle his full schedule and was get to our house less than an hour after contacting him. Upon arrival Robert was able to quickly diagnose our issue as a failed pressure switch and had parts on hand to effect the repair all within an hours timeframe. The service call with labor and parts came to $140 which was very very reasonable in my mind. I truly expected it to be much more due to all the price gouging I have seen in this area in the past and definately did not expect to be up and running again within 2 hours of my original call. Nice! Throughout the process Robert and his grandson Trevor were super friendly and explained what was going on throughout the process showing great patience with my questions as he went about the business of the repair. During the repair process he identified that the pressure switch had failed as a result of my 35 year old pressure tank being near end of useful life where the bladder was clearly starting to fail. He explained to me that we could get a few more years out of my old tank but the tradeoff was that my well pump which is also 35 years old was getting cycled way more than it should which could lead to a an earlier failure of that key component which would be a much more expensive repair on the order of $3500. At no point did he pressure me to replace the pressure tank but instead provided key data/information I needed to make an informed decision all the while stating I could push this tank replacement off maybe a couple more years. Being a retired engineer I appreciated both his honesty and candor where he presented the facts/data which is the way all contractors should act and most dont and let me make up my own mind where I decided to proceed with the replacement of the pressure tank in order to extend the life of my old more expensive well pump which he did two days later. No over the top pressure tactics here and the usual scare tactics that contractors like use. Again nice! Overall I was completely satisfied with the work he did on my well system and how he handled his business. Reasonable cost, first class work and a friendly demeanor are hard to beat in my book and I will definately contacting him for any well issues I have in the future. Five stars in my book.

We flushed only to find that we had no water pressure! Bob helped me troubleshoot over the phone…read morethen sent Trevor over within an hour. Trevor was great! He went above and beyond to help us fix the problem even though it was bigger than we originally thought. The price was reasonable too. I highly recommend these guys!

I highly recommend Joe Curry well drilling, He came out and gave us a quote, and was ready to…read morestart the next day. Joe was here for 3 hours the first day to drill the new well, and the next day came back put a new pump underground and all the other work that needed to be done. This man Is very motivated and does great work. He is honest, no hidden fees. and this is also the first job I have ever had done, that the clean up process was great, others usually leave such a mess behind, not him. thumbs up to curry well drilling,

DO NOT USE JOE CURRY WELL DRILLING! I have to say this company could possibly be the worst company…read moreto work with ever, and I mean ever! Joe Curry personally did a great job "over" selling me the well with his quick talking, and "30 year's experience" for an overpriced $7,000 at least $2,000 more than is should have cost well. (FYI - which I now know is working directly with McPherson Well Service, where Joe Drills McPherson's well quotes for him with his rig) who ironically quoted me near the same $7,000 price. Not only did Joe personally upon the initial estimate, bash Oakland Country for their water testing procedure on certifying a well to rid the bacteria, but did not back his work after is was drilled. My well failed a total of 4 times for bacteria at high levels, he did not stand behind his work to assure the well was 100% clean of bacteria, rather he walked away after just 2 chlorination's saying he "does not work for free" and would need to charge me to get rid of bacteria with another chlorination? Now I am really upset and confused as to how someone can just walk away?? Isn't this part of the well procedure to drill a safe well? Not in in their eyes. I had to pay out of my own pocket to have another well company chlorinate/re-establish once, time and it passed. (I have their name if you need it) One try and it had to be re-established, not did Joe Curry try, or offer this. Not only, my well was drilled on 10/30/17 and it was not until 1/12/18 that my well was free of bacteria. I lived with bacteria in my home for nearly 3 months. Not once, did Joe try to make it right without attempting to charge me. It gets worse. After 3 days of rain recently, I came home to a wet basement. I found that the old intruding well pipe that Joe Curry used to put his new pipe through, was leaking like a drinking fountain in my basement for days, and not sealed properly outside the well, or at the house. My basement was full of water and carpet ruined. I called Joe curry who offered to come put a drain from my gutter in the yard (which was not the problem), spray foam in the pipe (which he did), and let me use a high powered fan. When I told him I needed the problem dug up from the outside as the leak is from the yard, he refused to help. He would not dig up the problem, again saying he'd need to charge me if he did? I now have a new $7,000 well, my own extra costs, a leaky well, a wet basement, ruined carpet, and new piping and electrical wire sitting in an old leaky well pipe ..... and he has actually packed up and walked away refusing to do anything else to make this right. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
