What makes Don Pedro Pump different from other contractors?
We’re a third-generation family business with over 85 years in the Central Valley. Our team handles full system integration—pump, electrical, controls, and plumbing—with in-house fabrication and 24/7 emergency support.
How long does it take to get a permit?
Typical permit processing takes 5–15 business days, depending on your county and the complexity of your system. We manage this process to avoid costly delays.
Can I drill my own well?
No. In California, only licensed C-57 contractors can legally drill wells. DIY well construction risks contamination and legal penalties.
What counties do you serve?
We serve California’s Central Valley from Sacramento to Fresno, with a focus on Stanislaus, Merced, San Joaquin, and Fresno counties.
What types of pumps do you install and service?
We install and repair vertical turbine pumps, submersible pumps, propeller/mixed-flow units, centrifugal booster pumps, and lagoon/sewage lift pumps—serving farms, cities, dairies, and industrial clients.
Can I reuse an old well on my property?
Sometimes. We’ll perform a video inspection and check for code compliance. If the casing is corroded or seal depth is insufficient, the county may require full destruction and replacement.
Do I need a permit to drill or abandon a well?
Yes. Every new well, deepening, or destruction in California requires a permit—usually from your county’s environmental health department. We handle all permitting for you, ensuring your project complies with both state and local codes.
How deep should a residential well be in Stanislaus County?
Most domestic wells in the Turlock area range from 100 to 400 feet, depending on local geology and aquifer depth. At Don Pedro Pump, we drill based on site-specific yield and pressure data—not guesswork.
