Well Drilling & Pump Repair in Clinton, NC

Well country in the heart of hog-and-turkey Sampson

Clinton is the seat of Sampson County, but a couple miles past the courthouse square and the US-701 bypass you're deep in farm country, and out there almost everybody draws their own water. Head toward Roseboro, Newton Grove, Turkey, or Garland — down NC-24, up US-421, or along the back roads near the Great Coharie and Six Runs Creek — and about every farmhouse, brick ranch, and doublewide runs on a private well and a submersible pump. This is one of the biggest ag counties in the state, hog and turkey country where the barns outnumber the houses, and there's no city water line running out to most of it. That well in the yard is the whole supply.

Down here on the Eastern North Carolina coastal plain, wells tap sandy groundwater from the Black Creek and Peedee aquifers — no hard rock to bore through, but the sand means iron, screens that can silt in, and pumps that have to be set and cased right. Most drilled wells around Clinton land somewhere between 80 and 250 feet depending on which sand you're pulling from. A lot of these pumps went in decades ago and they're wearing out all at once, and when one quits on a private well there's no municipal backup — a household goes from full water to none in an instant.
