Originally, in March of 2014, we contracted a well test on some property we were purchasing. Barnhardt Pump did this testing for us, and gave us the green light on the well.
Next, June 2, 2014, we lost all water. We called Barnhardt Pump that morning and they told us that they would try to get out to us that same day. At around 4 pm, they called us to tell us that they could not make it out. They did show up the following day, did some tests on our system, told me that they thought that there was a leak in the line because they heard water back flowing. They then went out to test our pump, they pulled the pump from the well and did a pressure test, they told me that the pump was working fine. They then tried to put the pump back into the well and it got hung up and they could not get it to go back down. At this point, they connected a garden hose from the well top to the water tank in my house. I asked the employee about the safety of this set up and was told that it would be fine until winter and that they would not be able to get us on their schedule for 6 weeks anyway. The employee then gave me a rough estimate for replacing the pump (as our was 15 years old) and repairing the leak.
We then spent the summer saving up the money to pay for the repair. On July 25th, I called the company to schedule having the work done. We scheduled for August 7, 2014. The gentleman I spoke with, found our paperwork and said that they saw everything that needed to be done. When they show up at our house on the 7th, there seems to be a lot of confusion. The employee who came out then told us that they didn't know that they were replacing the well and that because it has been out so long, they could break the whole well trying to put it back which would cost us even more "who knows" how much!
At this point, they came out in June and broke our well and attached a hose for $450, then told us that it could cost around $3500 to replace the pump and fix the leak. So, we gave them the benefit of the doubt and ask them to come and fix it at which point they tell us that because we followed their advice, they may not be able to fix it and may have to drill an entire new well for an unknown cost!
