Morton Drilling LLC

Description of Work: In September of 2010 Tom Morton of Morton Drilling in Morehead City was contacted and contracted with to drill a 100 foot deep water well for a future irrigation sytem at my home in New Bern, NC. The well was dug and $3,000 was paid to Morton Drilling. April of 2011 I had the irrigation system installed and a new lawn (sod) was put in place in July 2011. In July of 2012, I began to have problems with sprinkler sytem whereby the pressure would diminish and a station could not complete its cycle. The system was inspected by my electrician and irrigation specialist and both components of the system checked out as functioning properly. Morton Drilling was called and on the afternoon of July 31, 2012, Jason Morton came to the house, inspected the well, indicated that the "bladder tank" or accumulator tank (typically covered for 3-5 years under warranty) was bad and and they would be back in the next 1-2 days to make repairs. They did NOT return to affect repairs and, after more than two weeks and 30 phone calls (and an ever-wilting yard), I was forced to hire and pay another services provider to come in and make the necessary repairs. Clearly, these folks are not dependable and left me hanging at a time (services) of need. I would not recommend this company under any circumstances.
