What areas does Applewhite Water Well serve?
The eastern Texas Panhandle: Wheeler, Pampa, Shamrock, Canadian, Wellington, Groom, Miami, Kelton, Skellytown, Alanreed, Briscoe, and Allison, plus the ranch country between them.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Matthew Applewhite holds an active Texas Water Well Driller and Pump Installer license, #61162, with the Master Water Well Pump Installer designation. Verify it yourself on the TDLR license search.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Site visits and written estimates are free, and the number you approve is the number you pay.
How fast can you respond when a well goes down?
No-water calls get priority, and livestock outages go to the front of the line. Call 806-334-0785 and we will give you an honest window.
Do you work on windmills and solar systems, or just electric pumps?
All three. We install and repair traditional windmills, solar pumping systems, and electric submersible systems, so our recommendation is based on your site, not on what we happen to sell.
