We are licensed in Colorado and New Mexico and can take on select projects in neighboring states depending on the scope of work.

What services does DAK Drilling offer?

We provide complete water well and drilling solutions, including water well drilling, pump service and repair, well inspections, water quality testing, water treatment systems, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Whether you need a new well, system upgrade, or troubleshooting, we’ve got you covered.

Do you offer emergency well or pump service?

Yes. If you’ve lost water or are experiencing a system issue, we offer emergency service to get your water back up and running as quickly as possible. Give us a call and we’ll help diagnose the issue and schedule service.

What should I do if I have no water or low water pressure?

No water or low pressure can be caused by several issues, including pump failure, pressure tank problems, electrical issues, or well production decline. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the problem and recommend the right solution to restore your system.

Do you drill new water wells for both residential and commercial?

Yes. We install new wells for residential and commercial properties when an existing well is no longer producing or has failed. We’ll guide you through the entire process, including permitting and system design.

Do you perform well inspections for real estate transactions?

Absolutely. We provide well inspections for homebuyers and sellers to verify well location, construction details, and system performance. We also offer pump tests and downhole video inspections for a more detailed evaluation.

Can you test my well water quality?

Yes. We offer a range of water testing options, including bacteria testing (E. coli and coliform), basic water quality tests, and comprehensive lab analysis for minerals and potential contaminants. Testing is often recommended for home purchases, system issues, or peace of mind.

Do you install pumps, tanks, and treatment systems?

We do. DAK installs and services complete potable water systems, including pumps, pressure tanks, cisterns, filtration systems, water softeners, and control systems. We design systems based on your mountain property’s specific water needs and quality. Our experienced team will help you narrow down the options and find the solution that best fits your unique needs.

What is a gallery well, and when is it used?

A gallery well is a shallow, horizontal-style water collection system typically used in areas with high groundwater near rivers or surface water. It can be a great solution in the right conditions, and we can help determine if it’s a good fit for your property.

How long has DAK Drilling been in business?
