In addition to well pump repair, our trenching contractor team routinely works with land developers, remodel teams, and other industries to provide excavation and trenching services in both residential and commercial areas.

Trenching Contractors and Excavation Services

While well drilling is necessary to actually install a water well, the surrounding pipe infrastructure requires the use of heavy equipment to dig a long, narrow cavity deep within the ground. In the case of the underground utilities and pumping system that carries water from the well to the home, it's necessary to dig below the frost line to prevent the pipes from freezing and possibly bursting.

In Raleigh and the surrounding areas, the frost line is 12 inches below the surface, though most pipes are laid significantly deeper than that.

Our Raleigh Trenching Services

At A&T Well and Pump, we specialize exclusively in trenching for water well installations throughout Raleigh and Wake County. From the very first site visit to final landscape restoration, our focused expertise ensures your excavation work is done with precision, efficiency, and long‑term reliability.

Site Evaluation and Planning

Before a single shovel hits the ground, our trenching contractors conduct a comprehensive soil and terrain assessment to determine the optimal trench path, depth, and slope for your well system. This upfront planning helps us avoid hidden obstacles, reduce excavation time, and tailor the trench design to your property’s unique characteristics—ensuring proper water flow and preventing future settling or erosion.

Soil composition analysis
Property layout review for minimal disruption
Custom trench design tailored to well location

Permitting and Utility Coordination

Navigating Raleigh’s permitting process and coordinating utility locates can be time‑consuming and confusing.

HPN

Fast, reasonable, professional. From calling the company to having water again took roughly 3 hours total time.I needed a new well pump. Daniel quoted me 3 different prices because the required pump size varies by depth, and I didn’t know how deep our well was. Eventually he charged me the lowest of the three.They carry various pumps with them, meaning they can do the work immediately.I can only recommend them if you are in a bind.Also, the 5- year warranty for the pump itself is transferable if you ever sell the house.

Dr John R.

I was very impressed with the promptness, professionalism, and knowledge of the technician who diagnosed and repaired the issue with my residential well. I will not hesitate to call Pure Vision Well Service for all of my future well issues.

Vincent N.

I cannot say enough for Daniel and his company. My elderly in-laws were having issues with their well. I was out of town and couldn’t go check it out myself. Daniel went over right away and diagnosed the problem down to issue. I had him replace the pump and tank. There were other issues with the well and filters since a lot of iron was in the well. Daniel came out two more times and we got everything working correctly. He even showed me what to do if iron clogged our system again. Awesome team and very professional. Can’t go wrong hiring his company.

Sara M.

I cannot say enough good things about A&T Well and Pump! Over the weekend, our well pump died, and we were in a real bind. A&T Well and Pump came to the rescue with incredible speed and reliability. Their team arrived promptly and got straight to work, showcasing their expertise and dedication.The quality of their work was outstanding. They didn’t just fix the problem; they ensured everything was running perfectly before they left. They had everything the could possibly need on the truck, and were able to work their magic that same day! The customer service and care we received were mind blowing. From the initial call with Tyler to the final handshake, every interaction was professional and friendly.A&T Well and Pump truly went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using their services again when needed.

Stacy K.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company. From when I called to set up an appointment to when my service was done, everything was so quick and above standards. Both Reggie & Stewart were amazing. They both took the time to explain what was wrong and gave me options on what I needed to do to fix the problem. On top of there professional service, they were both so warm and welcoming of my 2 year old being interested in what they were doing. I cannot recommend this company (and Reggie & Stewart) enough. Thank you!

Mary D.

Our well pump stopped working. Stewart came the same day and provided a detailed explanation of what the problem likely was and an estimate of the cost to replace the pump. He came out and replaced it first thing the following morning. Very professional and knowledgeable guy! Highly recommend this company.

I put in a request to come out and do some repairs on my residential well system. The team quickly diagnosed the problem and replaced the failing parts that day.

Mark D.

It was a Saturday morning when I called and tea and I could not have been more impressed.After two other supposed well companies came out and could not resolve the problem. Tyler came out with the screw compared to replace the well pump but instead his technician reviewed all the controls on the well pump replaced the controller and Harris back in business in 30 minutes and saving us thousands of dollars.I do know that I’ll need to remove the well and have an updated and I’ll definitely call auntie when that time comes!MD

Daniel S.

Our well pump stopped functioning midday on a Saturday and we had no water. I contacted A&T since I have used them in the past and they were out here within an hour. They diagnosed the issue and worked after normal hours on a Saturday in the heat to replace the pump. I would highly recommend Daniel and crew!

Brian B

I highly recommend A & T. 50 star review not 5.

Closed on a fixer-upper, 12 hours later we had no water. Called Tyler at 830PM and he was there the next morning. He and his crew had us back up and running in a matter of hours. We are grateful to him for his prompt service and professionalism. We highly recommend him and his team for any similar job!

Travis J.

I'm not one to leave reviews but it needs to be known that these guys are fantastic to work with. Called them Saturday morning and A&T was at my house within two hours! Tyler was able to diagnosis the issue and had a new well pump along with two expansion tanks installed by Monday morning. Prompt, efficient and reasonably priced. Customer service exceeded all expectations! High praise to this team.

King_Eric

Contacted A&T, they where very kind, and professional, they answered all my questions, no attitude, no fuss, very honest, and patient, and very, very knowledgeable. Definitely a Go-To Company. I am very pleased.

Vincent W.

Tyler came out to take a look at our well pump after it froze over night. Nothing could be done because it has to be totally replaced and the warehouse is closed until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. We have had the worst luck with our house since we bought it in September. Out of the kindness of his heart he waved the fee for coming out, gave us heaters to keep the kids warm since our hvac is also not working and even gifted us some money to take the kids out for Christmas. He wished me a merry Christmas and went home to see his family after a 13 hour shift. Then, he called about 10 minutes later to ask us if he needed to come back and give us some drop cords for the heaters. This man is a God send. God bless you Tyler. Merry Christmas.

CPS S.

Top notch company here! Great communication, start to finish! Competitive pricing and high quality work! Highly recommend!

Magali R.

Thank you, thank you and thank you again. Drove 1.5 hours, found and fixed the problem. God bless you all abundantly. From Williamston, NC 12/23/2022

Besides their professionalism, responsiveness, and quality work, nothing else needs to be said about Tyler and A&T. Look forward to using their services for years to come.

Dan S.

This information that you have shared is absolutely great ...Thank you for this learning experience.

Andy J.

Saw that the well head in the riser was leaking. Called A&T before 8am and someone answered immediately. They had a repair crew out here by 10:30am and fixed the issue quickly. Very knowledgeable crew who were very helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better response time and better service. Great job!

Anhonestman123

Had a personal emergency question about my artisan well run off. Tyler was professional, helpful and, even stopped over my house just to consult me on the issue. He resolved it quickly. Def advise using this company for any well work.

Nona S.

I cannot say enough about how great the crew was that did our work. They were knowledgeable and friendly while keeping a very professional manner. They answered all of our questions. Showed us how and when to service filters and explained all the things a first time well run home owner needs to know. I’d highly recommend these guys whether in a pinch, or just needing some maintenance work done.

Chris G.

Fast service, fair price, friendly people. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again.

I highly recommend A & T Well and Pump for all of your water needs. The owner is extremely nice, and cares deeply about his customers! Tyler (the owner) will make sure all your needs are taken care of. If you want someone that will go the extra mile, call A & T Well and Pump!

LEVR Studios L.

Outstanding service. A&T was fast to respond and was on-site, on time. The crew was fully prepared to deal with the issue and had the pump replaced quickly. They were respectful, kept the site clean and even jumped in to do some emergency repair work. Their prices were more than fair given the situation. Will certainly look to A&T in the future for installation, repair and professional services.

Mr J.

Had a pressure diaphragm rust through with a hole on the bottom filling part of my crawlspace up with 6.5 inches of water. Called on A & T Well and Pump to come and replace it, took them about 30 minutes and waited around to make sure the pressure was good in the house and everything was back to normal. Showed me a few things about the system so that I wouldnt be completely n00b about it and the system looks great and well, no pun intended, done!Went from a 36 gallon to a 44 gallon and the pressure in the house is very noticeable, so basically got an upgrade that i needed but didnt even realize that i wanted.If i have other issues of this nature, water heater, pump, hopefully not the pressurizer :o), I will definitely be calling them first.Called in the AM and they were able to make it out to my house the same day putting an end to our water outage.

Ron P.

My house had no water and this was the only business that answered my call after hours. The staff are knowledgeable and have lots of experience dealing with well and pump issues. Very easy to work with, and fair pricing. Will definitely call A & T again for future well or pump issues.

Bridget Rimpf W.

Great company, very responsive to requests, they work fast!

Raleigh Hidden H.

Great experience! Tyler was great, and he made the process easy and quick!

James S.

It's never good to wake up to a house without water, especially on New Years Day. The discharge line at our remote well site in the development had frozen and sheared off at the pressure tank. I called A&T at 8:00 am and Ted and crew were on site by 10:00 am. Replaced the pipe and tee fittings with solid brass in lieu of PVC and we were back in business by noon. Great work! Made sure everything was well-insulated by afternoon, especially with this prolonged cold snap. Note: I would have had to wait till the next day for anyone else to respond. A big thank you to Tyler and Company for the quick response and excellent service.

William C.

I am so thankful for Tyler and his team, they are excellent! They specialize in well pumps and repair, quick, professional and will explain the process and answer any questions you may have. I will never use anyone but them for this day forward. A+Look no farther, they are the best!

John B.

Best customer service ever. Looking forward to doing business with them again.

Gregory B.

I just wanted to extend my gratitude to Tyler for treating our water problem with the same level of urgency that we were feeling at home. They did everything they could to help us as fast as possible, and did a great job!

Ryan H.

Tyler was great to work with! My family's farm well needed an emergency pump repair to prevent loss of water to Spring crops and livestock. We contacted A&T after 5pm and Tyler promptly responded and arrived shortly after the call to repair the pump system. The team thoroughly cleaned the work space and completed the job same day! I highly recommend A&T Well and Pump of Raleigh for water well issues.
