Well Drilling in St Augustine, FL
Outside the city water lines, plenty of homes, farms and new builds around St. Augustine depend on a private well. When that well needs to be drilled, or the pump behind it quits, you want someone who will look at the whole picture and give you a straight answer. Simply Well and Pump drills new wells and replaces well pumps for property owners throughout St. Augustine and St. Johns County, and we also handle well inspections and proper well abandonment.

Property-Specific Solutions
Water well installation planned around your property
A new home in Elkton, an acreage near Hastings, or a lot in Flagler Estates can each ask something different of a well. Household use, irrigation, livestock or a shop all change how much water the system needs to deliver. Before any drilling starts, we talk through how the property will use water, look at the site, and explain the well, pump and pressure equipment we're proposing.
Already have a well that's struggling? We'll evaluate it first. Sometimes the answer is a pump or pressure tank, not a new well. When a new well really is the right call, we walk you through the scope of work and the permitting involved — in St. Johns County, water well construction is permitted through the St. Johns River Water Management District.
System Diagnosis
No water or weak pressure? Let's find out why
Sometimes a pump fails all at once and the taps go dry. Other times the warning signs build slowly: pressure that surges and drops, a pump that clicks on and off, or a shower that fades when someone starts the washing machine. Florida's summer thunderstorms can also take a toll on pump controls. The tricky part is that a bad pressure tank, switch, control box or wiring can look exactly like a bad pump.
That's why our well pump repair calls start with a check of the whole system. If the pump needs replacing, we size the new one to your well and the way your household actually uses water. You'll hear what we found and what we recommend before any work begins — and if the pump isn't the problem, we'll tell you that, too.

Well inspections
Buying a home with a private well, noticing a change in your water, or not sure when the system was last serviced? An inspection gives you a clear look at the accessible well and pressure equipment, and we explain anything that needs attention.

An old well you no longer use shouldn't just be capped and forgotten. Proper abandonment seals it according to Florida's well rules so it can't become a pathway for contamination into the aquifer. We'll assess the old well and explain what the work involves.

Serving St. Augustine and St. Johns County properties
St. Augustine may be best known for its historic downtown, but just beyond it are rural roads, farmland and growing neighborhoods where private wells are part of everyday life — from the farm country around Hastings to properties out toward Elkton, Moultrie and Flagler Estates. A well project on a wooded acreage raises different questions than one closer to the coast, where water quality can be a bigger consideration.
You don't need to know which part has failed before you call. Just tell us what changed and when it started. That helps us come prepared and explain the next step clearly.
