C&J Well Drilling and Pump Co
At C&J Well Co. Service, Pumps, & Drilling, we provide Central Indiana with state-of-the-art well and geothermal drilling and a full-service maintenance team. In addition to drilling, we perform service calls and maintenance checkups and replace pressure tanks and pumps in existing systems. C&J is a family-owned and operated business with a dedicated staff and many satisfied customers. We offer competitive prices without compromising the integrity of our services. Because our wells are drilled using the latest drilling technology, you are ensured to get the most out of your money. C&J Well Company is a member of the BBB, Indiana Ground Water Association, and the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis. In a quarter of a century, there have been many notable accomplishments, such as opening C and J Water for softeners and treatment, and integrating other local well drilling companies. C&J proudly continues the legacies of Water Wells by Wilhite, Dean Well Drilling, Harness Well Company, and Scobee Well Drilling. Josh and Christy are grateful for their hard-working technicians and strong support staff that led the company through the years.
"I have some mixed opinions on my first direct experience with CJ (well maintenance and water treatment). I decided to use them since the previous owner of my home had them install water treatment equipment, and I was familiar with the name and they had good reviews. I had 2 appointments for water treatment system maintenance and the well clean out. I made an appointment for water treatment at 2PM one day. Nobody mentioned anything about a 2 hour window when I made the appointment until I got an automated text message reminder the morning of. The tech ended up being over 2 hours late. He was a nice guy and went above and beyond answering many questions I asked him about the system. The most disappointing piece of it was cleanliness. It is unusual these days in my experience to have a contractor come to your house who doesn't put booties on. He also left a lot of water drops on my floor that evaporated and left iron stains all over. Lastly, he used a bucket I happened to have in my utility room and never cleaned it out. I found it by chance the next day. I had to spend 30 minutes of my time cleaning up after. As far as the well clean out goes, there were multiple issues. Again there was a indoor cleanliness issue. I had to spend 30-60 minutes of my time cleaning wood floors when they were done due to dirty footprints everywhere they walked. Booties would have prevented this. Upon arrival they started rattling off a litany of items that could end up costing extra above what I was quoted for the service - it could have easily been 2X what I was quoted. Maybe they should train office staff to communicate common issues that can come up to clients ahead of time to minimize surprises. Next, the guys did not strike me as being the most motivated individuals in the world. They had a stereotypical "union" mentality to how they went about their work. The work was done sufficiently, but I never felt like they cared much about what they were doing, cared about my property, or cared about the quality of their work. The well cap is in a mulched area on a slope and I expected some clean-up, but not near the clean-up that was required. If they are skilled at what they do, they should have foreseen what was going to happen and could have warned me. I literally had to spend 3 hours cleaning up my neighbors property and will likely have to invest $100 in grass seed and starter mulch. They could keep sandbags on the truck to manage runoff, or I could have found some salt bags in the basement or any multitude of things in my garage to help divert some runoff if I had been warned. No doubt the truck they use has equipment that costs money, but $1000 for 1.5 hours of lightly-skilled labor is a little steep, especially with all the clean-up required on my part (indoor and outdoor). I had a coupon for 25% off so it wasn't that bad, but if I had paid full price I would feel a little ripped off based on my experience. I will consider using CJ again but I will be keeping my options open and soliciting some more bids next time I have well work done."
