Our Story

Four Generations, One Family

Burgess Drilling began in 1943 with John Burgess and has remained a family-owned water well company through four generations. For more than eight decades, the Burgess family has helped local homes, farms and businesses reach dependable water.

Robert Burgess owns the company today, continuing the work passed down through the family. His son Matt, the fourth generation, handles much of the day-to-day service and works directly with customers throughout Tuscarawas County and surrounding areas.

The equipment has changed since 1943, but the commitment has not: understand the property, do the work carefully, and stand behind the Burgess name in the community the family calls home.

Common Questions

Well Drilling Questions We Hear Often

I have no water — what should I do?

Call the office at 330-343-0887 and describe what happened. Loss of water can come from the pump, wiring, pressure tank or the well itself, and we will talk through what you are seeing before scheduling a visit.

How long does well drilling take?

The timing depends on property access, ground conditions and the depth required. Once we understand your property and the scope of work, we can give you a realistic idea of the schedule.

Do you service existing wells and pumps?

Yes, we service existing wells and water systems as well as drilling new wells. We install and repair well pumps, pressure tanks, wiring and related components.

What is a replacement well?

A replacement well is a new well drilled when an existing well no longer provides adequate or dependable water. We can first review the current system and discuss whether replacement is the practical option for your property.

What information do you need for a quote?

Please share your property address, the service you need and a short description of the problem or project. Photos of the equipment or problem area are helpful when available.
