Our well stopped working Saturday ... nightmare . Called around . Most were too busy to come out . One company came out and looked at well without pulling up pump and said "it needs to come " out but couldn't do it .... We got ahold of Peters on Sunday and they came out first thing Monday . Nevada ( that's his name ! :) opened up the well house , tested everything and said yep let's pull that baby out .... What a haul ! Even called his boss Aaron who came right out to us to help pull it out . Once out , found out it Needed new wiring , new pump , the whole deal . Nevada had everything on hand on his truck and got us up and running with water within 3 hours . Super nice guy ! Very personable and told us everything about our well that we didn't know . 5 year warranty too . We will most definitely call them if we need any help ever again . And will tell all of our friends . read more

Josh was amazing!!! He figured out the problem and fixed it quickly. He even came two hours early. Beyond grateful to have my water working

Don Hughes helped me today, He was very professional and did an excellent job. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to come help me out. He made the whole process quick, easy, and painless. Highly recommend read more

It appears as though the new owner or manager has no interest in retaining clients. I've been a customer of Peters on over 60 wells and public and private systems I service. I called today and booked an appointment for their boom truck, Kevin said their p12 couldn't lift a set that was placed by a smeal 5t. Less than half the size of a p12. I believe the company has been taken over by the lessor worked and over paid Gen X, they will definitely get no more referrals read more

Our experience with Peter's Drilling & Pump Service was extremely disappointing and costly. They originally drilled multiple water wells for a development project. Later, when the wells were brought online, we began discovering major discrepancies between the well depths and production that were reported and what actually existed. The most troubling incident occurred when Peter's Drilling came out to service a well pump. During their attempt to retrieve the pump, something went wrong and the well was suddenly unusable. We were told the well had "collapsed due to an act of nature" and that the only solution was drilling a completely new well at significant cost. An independent well contractor later inspected the situation and concluded the failure was most likely caused during Peter's own work. When we asked for transparency or even a simple camera inspection of the well, those requests were refused. Water wells are expensive and critical infrastructure. In our experience there were serious issues with accuracy, communication, and accountability. If you hire Peter's Drilling for well drilling or pump service, I strongly recommend independently verifying well depth and water production. read more

So glad to have found this business to help with our 1965 fixer upper. Luke was incredibly fast to come and review our needs and Sean has worked on the system twice and they provided amazing service. We will definitely use them moving forward as we have a lot of projects we need to get taken care of, we highly recommend this business. read more

this company is horrible. Please avoid it all and they overcharge you and they're unprofessional. They've gouged me on prices for many years. Their staff has a high turnover rate because they don't treat their staff well. There's plenty of other companies in the area that can do a better job for a better rate. read more

Always a very professional and helpful company in the 6 years I have conducted business with them.I would highly recommend this company.

Peter's well drilling is out at our house this morning1/29/2025. The employee came up and said great news.We do not have to replace all your pipping it's your cupplers. so we will replace those he said. That saves us at least $1500. Friendly and very professional. Happy with our choice to call them. Terry ,Brian Crane read more

We've had great experience with Peters Drilling & Pump Service. We had them drill 3 wells on our property and the 3rd one is a great producing well. 1st one was dry, second one was decent but ended up collapsing and losing our pump. Under warranty and as great customer service, they drilled a new well and lined it to prevent problems in the future. Plus installed a new pump and control box. This well produced over double the amount of the previous well. Greg Stephen was my contact for all of our well work. He is very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. I highly recommend Peters Well Drilling for any of your well needs. Update 4-22-22, early this morning our well pump stopped working. I called and left a message. I received a phone call back from Kevin who said he would send a tech out to look at the well. A couple hours later Patrick arrived and had us up and running in less than an hour. He diagnosed a faulty pump control box and replaced it under warranty. Everyone I've had contact with at Peter's has been very helpful and professional. Great work Peters Well team!!! read more

Peters' Drilling & Pump Service - Well Drilling Near Me - Grass Valley, California

From contacting them to completion of service, we have received nothing but above excellent service from Peter's Drilling & Pump service. They've been quick to respond and also repair when we needed our failed well switch replaced several years back, and today they replaced our well pump. The technician (Mike) is very knowledgeable and skilled, and is an overall professional, friendly, and really likable guy. Their work has stood the test of time, and we have confidence they are doing impeccable work. We highly appreciate and recommend Peter's! read more

I have worked with the company three times in the past. The first time when I purchased a property and I had them test the well to check the gallons per minute it was producing. The tech they sent out had no idea what they were doing and could not figure out what the well actually produced. The second time, they sent the same guy out with his supervisor. They then figured out the pump was a 5 gallon per minute pump and that they could only determine the well was producing what the pump was allowing. That was 4 years ago. Now giving them a third try... Thinking they tried to make things right, I gave them a third chance to come out and try to diagnose another issue. Was my pump bad, or was it the control unit? The tech they sent had figured out the control unit was bad (burnt up inside, which we already knew) and that he would test the pump to see if it was still functioning. After working on it for 10 minutes....just 10 minutes...he determined the pump was bad and that we needed a new one. He seemed to be pulling the power just before the flow would start. He called the shop and said that he could replace the pump in two days, with one that pumped half the amount and that it would cost around $6000 and that we needed to make a decision quickly while they still had them. I told him I had to think about it and sent him on his way. Thinking he was pushing overly hard for a sale , I hooked up my own generator to the pump....and the water started flowing just fine. I called their shop, explained the issue to numerous people and said I was having an issue paying for a service call where the tech misdiagnosed the issue and was trying to not only sell me a unit that was not needed, but then take the better pump that was still working. After a a few calls and many minutes on the phone we then came to an agreement... ....Fool me three times, shame on me.... ...I would buy a new control unit from them and then they would install it and I would then pay them for the original service call. Knowing that my property is still under 4' of snow, they kept sending me late bills until I called the office one last time. They said the guy in charge of my "file" was out on leave and that they would talk with him and we would work something out when he returned. I just got a collections notice not even 20 days after I talked with him. At this point I will be notifying the Better Business Bureau and having my attorney contact them. Not doing a good job is one thing, but trying to defraud customers is illegal. read more

They came out and installed the wrong control panel and charged me $300, which I paid. Only a month later, no water again and had to pay for ANOTHER control panel. Needless to say, I didn't trust them to do the work since it'd only been a short time since they worked on it. They told me I was screwed out of the money I'd payed them since I didn't contact them for their warranty. They wouldn't do anything about the $300 I gave them for doing a bad job putting in the wrong damn control panel. Don't use them unless you want to get screwed, too. read more

This company is amazing! Our well went out in the only big storm of the season. They came right out, replaced the well the next day, and our water was running through the taps later that day! Fantastic service, very professional and courteous, and fair pricing for what should last another 20 years. Thank you Luke H! read more

We have used Peter's Drilling a couple other times for different issues and have been very happy with their service. On Friday we called them in the morning cause our well would cycle every 30 minutes. They sent out Mike D. After explaining to Mike what was going on he told me I bet you have a leak in your pipe coming out of the tank. He said I feel it's right here and sure enough after digging the pipe up the leak was right where he said it would be. Mike worked his butt off to replumb the piping. He was very professional hard working and very knowledgeable. We will continue to use Peter's Drilling for all of our well issues! read more

AVOID PETERS' AT ALL COSTS!!! GO ELSEWHERE, EVEN TO AUBURN OR BEYOND FOR ANOTHER WELL PUMP SERVICE COMPANY BECAUSE IT IS SO WORTH IT! Peters' technician Sean replaced my well pump in August 2022. Since then until last month, we have suffered from water so dirty with soot/silt that it often looked like chocolate milk both inside and outside faucets. This went on for OVER 10 months despite my multiple complaints. I would call to complain and kept getting more and more "brushed off" with every call as if Peters' personnel thought, "If we humor her, she'll eventually go away." Not a good idea. I had had enough when, what was ultimately my last call to Peters', Sean (the technician who installed the new pump in 8/2022) became so hostile and belligerent toward me that I had to request I speak with someone else. Apparently, he did not like my contradicting his insisting that a certain outside spigot was going through our water softener system when I told him that spigot water was coming directly from the well itself. I already knew this because another Peters' technician told me so in ~2016 (not to mention this being confirmed by the other company we hired last month to fix Peters'/Sean's work). The bottom line is Peters' kept trying to push cleaning the softener system's beads for close to $1000 (but, if the incoming water is still dirty, clean beads will eventually get dirty again so that's $1000 down the drain essentially) and/or, when that wasn't working, to be patient or test the water or some other line of crap. Finally, after 10 - yes, TEN - months of being lied to, placated, or pacified only to have it all topped off with Sean's obnoxious behavior, I WAS DONE. I sought out the help of another local water well/pump company immediately. After hearing the details of my Peters' experience, reviewing documentation and looking at the well itself, they determined what we needed to do was lift the pump up a few feet which easily they did. Once we blew out the interior water lines of 10+ months of Peters' handywork and whatnot (which only took hours), we have clean water again - both inside and outside including that certain spigot. All Peters' had to do was really take my complaint seriously and actually come and inspect the well. Instead, they kept telling me: (1) "be patient" (that was their favorite one and the one they eventually fell back on at month 10); (2) "run the [certain] spigot low for hours, as often as you can;" (3) "the [2022-23] heavy winter rains" were the problem as the excessive water stirred things up and needs time for the ground to absorb; (4) "test the water" (their 2nd favorite - they wanted to test it a 3rd time at the end); and, (5) "you need to have the resin beads cleaned in your water softener system" which they really pushed for a time trying to get me to pay up ~$1000.00 for nothing). They have their collective heads up their butts and are untrustworthy. Sometimes people and companies get too big for their bridges and in this case it showed dramatically. Go with a smaller company - one whose technicians are trained and truly know what they are doing and what they are talking about. Forget Peters'. Aside from that technician back in 2016, I have yet to come across one at Peters' who knows anything of value so don't waste your time or money. read more

I have used Peters three times now and they are always there within one day and solve the problem without any delay. All of service staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Wouldn't think of using anyone else. read more

I hired Peters' to do a simple repair on my well. They were extremely negligent and mistakenly removed 200ft of my inner linning. When I brought this to thier attention they told me they would repair the damage they caused, but have since stopped retuning my calls. I highly recommend you do not do business with this company. I am taking them to court and sueing for damages. Do not do business with this company. Read all of the other negative reviews and avoid the same fate. read more

Peters' Drilling & Pump Service came out multiple times and they didn't solve the actual problem, but sure were willing to keep coming out. Then tried to double charge me and claim I wouldn't pay. Then 8 months later they tried to drop it on my credit. And no one there has answers except well we don't have record so pay us. I would rather take the credit hit then get scammed read more

One stop drilling and pump, service, dependable, reliable . All around the best company for this service.

Came home from work at 6 AM to my well not working and I had no water. Called them a little after 9AM, Caleb came out within an hour and fixed my well in about 1 hour. I am so so pleased with them! Fair price , very prompt service, great customer service! I highly recommend Peters' Drilling & Pump Service ! read more

Our well started leaking badly over the weekend. I had to turn it off. Left a message on Sunday, Monday morning Peter's was there before 8AM! They had it fixed in an hour. I couldn't be more thankful! read more

We had Caleb from Peters Drilling come out to our house because our well wasn't running as it should be. Caleb recalibrated our pump and it's been running great. Caleb was very informative and professional! He explained what was happening with our well and the adjustments he made to remedy the issue! Will definitely continue using Peters Drilling for all our well issues! read more

I have been a customer of Peters' for over 12 years. Last week I called with a pressure tank problem and they fixed it quickly and efficiently...I thought. Today, Saturday, the pressure tank just stopped. We have no water. I called and said this was an emergency, to which the response was sorry, can't get there until Monday. "But I have no water, I have horses, I can't go until Monday. This is a problem that I paid you last week to fix." I was then told to call someone else as they can't help me. This is not the way to do business, especially to a loyal long time customer. read more

A big thank you to everyone at Peters. had some issues with our well and new pump and they NEVER failed to do everything they could to get to the bottom of it. Fixed the problem which wasn't easy. Communication with them is outstanding. Super responsive to all my questions and concerns. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. read more

With great physical effort my wife and I pulled the pump out, replaced it and put it back down 200 feet. Switched it on and nothing happened. You can imagine that was not what we were hoping. Called Peters' Well Drilling and they scheduled us for the next day. Ryan came out, flipped the switch and water started to come out. For about a minute water flowed and then stopped. After some analysis it was decided to pull the pump. Ryan and Zach used a machine that pulls the tubing and pump out like Old Faithful geyser. Ryan determined the water level had dropped 50 feet so the pump was just under water enough to start, but only pump a few gallons. They added 100 feet of tubing, reinstalled and we have water again. Excellent service and would highly recommend them. read more

Outstanding service and flexibility. My water was out and I called. They were ready to send someone right then in the morning, but I had a scheduled PG&E power outage. They came directly after the power came back on. The problem wasn't the well, and David helped hunt down where the issue was. Then he checked our entire water system, both for the house and yard. Really impressed. Exactly the sort of help I needed. And David's smile is infectious. Thanks again. read more

Woke up this morning to no water. Called Peters at 7:30 am, had Sean at the house at 9:30 am. My pressure switch failed due to earwigs living in there. He replaced the switch, checked the pressure in the tank, checked the voltage and was gone by 10:00 am with our water restored. Can you even expect better service than that? Thanks! read more

We needed a new pressure tank and Peter's came out exactly when I needed them to. Josh was courteous and efficient and did the whole job very quickly. I DO wish Peter's had a haul away option for the old tank, but not a huge deal, and I would definitely call them again. read more

I have inherited a confusing irrigation setup between NID water and the well water that had numerous problems, including house water disruptions. A few irrigation specialists shrugged their shoulders and scratched their heads without good results, but Ryan from Peters' Drilling was able to find the missing valves and to successfully resolve the issues within an hour. read more

Greedy, price gougers. I found out they charged us more than others in our area by $9 a foot. Not happy with them, don't recommend.

Peter's staff are so darn nice. We called them initially because their sticker was on the well equipment when we bought our place. We had issues with our well and they were very willing to help diagnose the problem not just over the phone but in person. (Issues were at the circuit breaker box as it turned out) We've had rain water catchment tanks installed, a pressurized irrigation system. These folks do a top shelf job. Everything is so orderly and cleanly laid out. Built to last. Taking on the phone with them it's clear they know their stuff. I feel very secure and confident relying on their advice. Call Peter's. You'll be happy. read more

I called on Wednesday and they were here by Friday as promised. They diagnosed and fixed the problem, same day. Excellent service, I highly recommend them. read more

Our well failed this morning, and I gave Peter's a call. It was professional straight through, and the weekend rates were better than a lot of reissue contractors. Josh who came out was knowledgeable and worked quickly. They are our new go to's! read more

Peter's Drilling has been to our property several times for different issues/ services. Ryan just fixed a broken pipe for us today; he was on time, professional, very helpful, showed me where the pipe broke and explained what he did to fix it. They are always our first call when there's an issue with our pump, water filter or outdoor pipes. I highly recommend Peter's Drilling and Pump Service. read more

Peters Drilling BEWARE-they charge you $165 an hour which includes their travel time from their shop to your location. I've never heard of a company doing that. I find it unprofessional and gouging. read more

These guys know what it means to be without water. This is my second time using them and on both occasions, they communicated well with several phone calls giving me status on arrival times. On my most recent issue, Jeff S. was on time, he was thorough in his troubleshooting, explained the necessary repair to me, and was very quick to get me back up and running. He was a very professional technician as has been my experience with all the Peter's Drilling staff. -JT read more

We had barely a trickle of water and sometimes none. Mike De Long came out and replaced our well pump and several feet of pipe caked with iron deposits. We couldn't be more pleased to finally have great water pressure! read more
