"Bedford drilled a new well for me about a year and half ago, the only positives i can say is i do have water and the new lady in the office actually now answers the phone or responds to you. Its the craziest thing, the phone rings and she actually picks it up and talks to you. Its crazy. The first year you could only reach them by email or text, no one answered the phone. You left a voicemail and they would decide whether or not to call you. I've spent a year and half trying to get them to correct sloppy hookup work they left me with. I think the problem was with the prior office staff dropping the ball, but i shouldn't have pay for someone elses incompetence. Since week one I notified them of an issue and was completely ignored for months. At first they were busy on other jobs, told me they would have one of the guys call me which never happened. Then months later they told me for them to come correct the issue i had pay a service fee and open ended labor costs for something that has been ongoing since the install. Basically give them a blank check again, nope ive been down that road with them before. Service fees and labor fees should be charged for something that was beyond their control, not for sloppy workmanship. I had to spend months on a waiting list and ipaid almost $16k. The sad thing is both are probably simple fixes for them. Hire anyone else but them for the hookup, Catron, Sublette, Walkers, anyone else but Bedford for the hookup. Maybe the owner will respond to me directly when he reads this, not leave me dealing with an in-between person, honestly by now he should have called me personally. He has my number"

"I called this company bc it had good reviews & affordable price . They robed me I had a pump that need replaced cost would have been 600.00 total . Worker put new wire in & put through the pipe I had existing to the well . I asked if I pay cash can I get a discount ? I had lost my job 2 weeks ago from restructuring . I have no income coming in . After I was told $2600.00 I gave the worker $1300. Cash & he left for over 4 hours before showing up with the new parts. I called the owner again & explained to him my position I couldn’t help but cry & quote he tells me I got you . I thought ok he will give me some discount . NOT one penny did he go down . I had a total bill of $2600.00 . Wow glad he had my back ?! It would have been 4000.00 . I’ve talked to one’s professional in this business he actually raped me for what little was done & the price he got from me . Please beware women or anyone this company is rip off ! No one call him for any work . He deserves what he gets from being a liar & over charging . I have lots of friends & I will be telling all I know to tell all they know about this owner ."

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

Wells and Pumps questions, answered by experts

Most well pump pressure switches have a factory setting of 30 to 50 PSI. There’s some flexibility with this if you’d like a lower or higher water pressure, but remember that it should sit 2 to 3 PSI above your well tank’s general pressure setting.

The inside of your pressure switch cover will usually indicate minimum and maximum settings—going below and above the numbers might damage your well pump.

If you have a self-cleaning washing machine but you’re still seeing lint, your water pump filter might be clogged. To clean it, you should unscrew the drain hose, then remove the water pump filter. From there, you can inspect it and clean it with warm water before replacing it. Check to be sure your washing machine is functioning by running a short cycle. 

Wells usually replenish at about 5 gallons per minute, but a few variables can influence how quickly they refill. A deep well will take more time to replenish than a shallow well, and any leaks or other damage can slow down the replenishment rate. Other factors, such as a faulty well pump, a clogged well screen, and local geology, can also affect the replenishment rate.

Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.

Well pumps need power to run, so they can’t function without electricity. If your power shuts off, there can sometimes be enough pressure in the water tank to allow for a lucky flush or a bit of tap water—but this won’t last long. It’s a good idea to have a backup generator or an alternative power source like solar if you’re worried about losing power.
