When you are looking for honest hard working drillers, Basic Drilling truly stands out from all the rest. After 3 years of trying to find a reputable driller to help me provide water to my mountain property, Mr. Horsley, State of Utah engineer in the Division of Water Rights, put it all into perspective. He said “ Well Drillers are like doctors, you hear lots of horror stories and a few positive endorsements.”

From the time I first met with “Pug”, to the time he left me with the valuable water that I needed, he was honest, punctual, dependable, and knowledgeable. He documented and discussed important information from the mud logs, kept me informed of the drilling progress, and made cost-effective recommendations as related to the quantity and quality of water that I required.

He acknowledged that he had not previously drilled in my remote location, and subsequently he consulted with local experts (La Sal Mountain Realty), well records, regional private contractors, and published state geological surveys, before and during the drilling operation, at no additional cost. I definitely endorse his work. Dr. Brent A Jarrett Well Location: La Sal, Utah.
