Water Well Service in Wheeler, Texas
Wheeler is home. Our shop and our mailbox are here, and most days our truck is somewhere between the courthouse square and a pasture gate on one end of the county or the other. When your well quits in Wheeler, you are not calling a crew from Amarillo. You are calling your neighbor.
Applewhite Water Well converts wells to solar, repairs pumps, rebuilds windmills, and builds stock water systems for homes, farms, and ranches throughout Wheeler and the surrounding county.
Well Country: What Makes Wheeler Different
Wheeler County sits on the eastern edge of the High Plains, where the caprock gives way to rolling red-dirt ranch country cut by Sweetwater Creek and its draws. That geography shows up in the wells. Upland ground east of town often drills deeper to find steady water, while bottomland along the creek can hit productive sand at shallower depth. We have serviced enough wells around Wheeler to know what to expect before the work starts.
This is cow-calf and natural gas country. A lot of our Wheeler work is livestock water: windmills that have stood since before REA lines came through, new solar pumps on remote grass, and stock tanks placed to open up pastures. In town and on the small acreages around it, we keep household wells and pressure systems running year-round.
Hard water is a fact of life here, and older wells can pull sand as water levels shift. Both are manageable with the right equipment choices, and we will tell you plainly which problems are worth fixing and which are just the Panhandle being itself.
