Whisler's Well Drilling

Feb 2024

We are new to the area and haven't had a well water system in our home in over 50 years. So, when our well pump stopped working, I looked on the Shippensburg Community page and found Whistler's Well Service from Newville, Pa. with excellent ratings. The kind woman who answered my phone call assured me that she could and would have a crew out first thing in the morning, or even that night. I told her I was pretty sure it was the pump or foot valve and that it was not a "quick fix", so in the morning was fine. First thing in the morning two enthusiastic and energetic young men (I am 75...no longer energetic) arrived, and I explained the problem, and they immediately got started on resolving the problem. First, did it have electric. Next checked the pressure tank, found a problem, and suggested it could have caused the failure. I asked should it be replaced, and they said if I was replacing the pump, yes, they suggested I also replace the failed tank. So, they determined that the pump was indeed the source of the problem, and we went in search of the well head. Easier said than done, but we found in buried underneath a very large, 3 feet across, round evergreen bush in front of the house. Turned out, it was about 3 feet below the ground surface! While waiting on a machine to dig down and find the well head, they did another service call, rather than wasting time waiting for a machine to arrive. They worked hard from when they arrived until they finished after dark, but they got the water back on, showed me how to change the primary filter past the pressure tank, recommended I do it a number of times over the next two days (I quickly found out why and replaced/cleaned the filter many times), and told me should any problems occur, call them and they would come back and fix it. I offered them to come in and have the supper meal with our family, but they politely refused the offer and kept working non-stop. These two fellows need to be highly complimented on their work ethic and personalities.... they were great. If you are having any problems with your well water, pump, filtration system or other water related issues, please, give them a call. You will not be disappointed. I am so glad that I called them, and they came to our rescue so promptly. Thank you to the owners and crew that responded from Whistler's Well Drilling. Dennis Urban, Shippensburg, Pa.

I'm sorry for the late review! The gentlemen at Whisler's Well and Drilling are very professional and have excellent knowledge in what they do! My well pump went bad in August and they were here the next day to fix the issue. They also saved me thousands of dollars and finished the task in a timely manner. I will never call anyone else if something goes wrong with my well again. If I could give this company 20 stars I would! Do yourself a favor and call Whisler's before calling anyone else. Trust me, you'll thank me later!

The team at Whisler's are knowledgeable, experienced, and the right guys for the job. I woke up to zero running water in the house and called someone else first, but that guy diagnosed the problem sight unseen at a cost of thousands. I hung up from that guy and called Whisler's. They came out, found a faulty switch, and my water was flowing again. They advised I would need to replace the pressure tank in the future but not today. They saved me thousands and have my business FOREVER!
