If you are looking for a company that will inform, educate and lead you through the water well and pump process — Action Drilling, Inc. is the company for you. We take time to answer questions and communicate the entire process.

A well is something that a person generally needs only a few times in their life, and it should last a lifetime if done properly. With over 25 years of experience, Action Drilling has the expertise and know-how to set up and maintain your complete water system — and do it right the first time.

Our offices are located in Waterford and Cambridge Springs, PA. Our success is driven by hard work, honesty, and reputation.

What We Do

Our Services

From new well installations to system upgrades, we handle every aspect of your water system.

🔩

Complete Water System Installations

New well installations with 6″–12″ casing. We also offer pumps, tanks, water lines, and pump replacement services — everything your system needs from the start.

🔄

Water Well Rehab & Clean Outs

A well with decreasing production can often be improved with a "clean-out." Proper well maintenance extends the life of your pump and water treatment system while protecting your plumbing.

Products We Trust

We use Myers, Goulds, Square D, Merril, CSI, Pentek, WellMate, Pentair, and more. All brands are chosen for years of proven reliability — most come with at least a five-year warranty and frequently last 15+ years. We use parts made in the USA whenever possible.

Clean, Safe Water

Water Treatment

Most drinking water complaints — taste, odor, hardness — can be remedied without salt softeners or constant filter changes.

Iron Removal

Iron in your water stains laundry and fixtures and gives water a bitter, metallic taste. Iron can be in soluble or oxidized form — each requires a different treatment approach. We'll test your water first to determine the right solution.

Hydrogen Sulfide (Rotten Egg Smell)

Produced by decaying underground organic deposits, hydrogen sulfide gas dissolves easily in water, is very corrosive, and will rapidly tarnish silver. We have systems to eliminate it completely.

Hardness

Common in ground water, hardness is caused by minerals picked up as water moves through rocks. It causes deposits in heaters and pipes, film on fixtures, and reduces appliance efficiency. We can address it without salt softeners.

Maintenance & Support

Home water treatment devices need regular maintenance — typically filter cartridge or UV light replacement at least once per year. Action Drilling is here to help with all your ongoing water treatment needs.

Always have your water tested before installing a treatment device. Contact us today and we'll help you design a system for your specific needs.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I have my well drilled if I'm building a home?

Before construction begins. Contrary to what you may have heard, there is not usable water in sufficient quantities everywhere. At the end of your project is not the time to find out that your property can't provide the water you require.

Where do you drill the well?

Many factors determine the best drilling location — property boundaries, utility locations, and septic system distance requirements are just a few. We will meet with you on your site before drilling begins and determine the best possible location(s).

What is the storage capacity of my well?

That depends on the diameter and depth of your well:

• 6″ casing stores 1.4 gallons per foot
• 8″ casing stores 2.6 gallons per foot
• 12″ casing stores 5.9 gallons per foot

The diameter and depth will be determined by the water table records of the area and your personal requirements.

Our well has been running out of water. Can anything be done?

We cannot create water that was never present when the well was originally drilled. However, if the well has always kept up with your needs in the past but has recently been falling short, it may be possible to "clean out" the well and restore flow to previous rates — often a less expensive alternative to drilling a new one.

Can anything be done about red stains in my shower and toilet?

Water treatment has come a long way since the old water softener. There are systems available now that remove iron stains and sulfur smell without any filters to change or salt bags to haul. Ask us what options are currently available and we'll help you determine what works best for your situation.

What brands do you use in your installations?

We use Myers, Goulds, Square D, Merril, CSI, Pentek, and many others. All are extremely reliable and most come with at least a five-year warranty, but frequently last 15 years or more. We like to do the job once and do it right, with parts made in the USA whenever possible.
