Water Well Service in Wellington, Texas
Wellington anchors some of the best farm ground on our route: cotton, peanuts, and cattle along the Salt Fork of the Red River. We serve Collingsworth County with well drilling, pump repair, windmill service, and solar systems, about 50 minutes down US 83 from our Wheeler shop.
Farm wells work harder here than almost anywhere we go, and we keep them working.
Well Country: What Makes Wellington Different
Collingsworth County farms the red-land valley of the Salt Fork, and its water reflects that setting. Irrigation and household wells around Wellington often draw from shallower alluvial and Seymour-type sands rather than the deep Ogallala section found northwest of here. Depths and yields swing field to field, which makes local records and honest siting worth real money.
Cotton and peanut ground means seasonal irrigation demand, and demand concentrates wear. Late summer is when a tired pump lets go, mid-set, on the hottest week of the year. A spring checkup on irrigation and stock wells is the cheapest crop insurance sold in this county.
Wellington itself, with the restored Ritz Theatre on the square, is the kind of town where word-of-mouth is the only advertising that counts. We work to earn it on every call.

Wellington Well Service Questions
Do you service irrigation wells around Wellington?
Yes: pumps, motors, and pressure systems on farm wells, plus new drilling where the ground supports it.
Are wells shallower around Wellington than up on the plains?
Often, yes. The valley draws from different sands than the deep Ogallala ground northwest of here. We verify with nearby well logs before quoting.
Can you get parts for older farm pumps?
Usually. We stock common submersible sizes and can rebuild or match most working systems in the county.
How far in advance should I book pre-season irrigation service?
Early spring. By June the schedule fills with emergencies, and you want your wells checked before the heat, not during it.
