Our Story

Okeechobee Roots, Statewide Reach

American Drilling Services started as a local family business doing hands-on well work for the people around Okeechobee. It still is one.

Since 1984 we have drilled and serviced wells for homes, farms, and ranches in and around Okeechobee County, then kept those systems running with pumps, tanks, and water treatment. As customers came to us with bigger needs, like irrigation wells for growers, water for construction sites, and systems for businesses, we took on that work too.

We did not grow by chasing the biggest contracts. We grew one customer at a time, because people remember how they were treated. From the start, our owner asked everyone on the crew to lead with their heart and to treat each customer the way they would treat the people they care about most. That still decides how we answer the phone, how we price a job, and how we leave a property when the work is done.

Today our crews travel all over Florida for commercial and agricultural jobs, large and small. We are still family-owned and operated, and the phone still rings in Okeechobee. A homeowner with a sputtering pump gets the same attention as a developer with a site plan.

What We Believe

A handful of plain rules shape how we run every job, whether it takes an hour or a month.

People Before Profit

Every customer gets treated the way we would want the people we care about most to be treated. Sometimes that means talking you out of work you do not need.

Straight Answers

We tell you what is wrong, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost before we start. If a repair makes more sense than a new well, you will hear that from us.

Right the First Time

We use proper grout seals, approved casing, and a pump sized to the well. Shortcuts underground turn into bigger bills later, so we do not take them.

There When It Matters

Water never fails on a convenient schedule. Our emergency service runs 24/7, nights and weekends included.

Small Jobs Welcome

A worn pressure switch or a replacement sprinkler sensor gets the same care as a large-diameter production well.

We Stand Behind It

Our name goes on every well we drill and every pump we set. If something is not right, tell us. We want to be the company you trust with the next job, too.

In the Field, Coast to Heartland

Most days our crews are out on a rig, at a pump house, or in a pasture. Here is what to expect when we pull onto your property.

A Planned Setup

We walk the site first and plan where the rig and trucks will sit, so lawns, driveways, and job schedules see as little disruption as possible.

Clear Updates

You hear what we found, what we did, and what comes next. Project managers get the details they need to keep their schedule moving.

A Clean Finish

We clean up, flush, and check the system, then walk you through how everything works before we pack up and leave.

Credentials & Commitments

Florida law is clear: anyone in the business of building, repairing, or plugging wells must hold a water well contractor license, and each of those jobs needs a permit before work begins.

We hold the license, carry the insurance, and handle the permit paperwork, from the application to the completion report filed after the work is done. A Florida water well contractor license is valid statewide, which is how a hometown company like ours can say yes to projects from the Panhandle to South Florida.

What You Can Count On

Proud to Call Okeechobee Home

This is cattle, dairy, citrus, and sugarcane country, and the people who work that land are our neighbors and our customers.

Being local means we know the ground here, from the iron-heavy pockets of the shallow aquifer to the deep Floridan wells that water the pastures. It also means we are still around after the job is done. When you need us again, you call the same office and talk to people who know your property.

We serve families on acreage, ranches and groves, local businesses, and the contractors building the county’s next homes.

“I needed a new piece for my wireless sensor for my sprinkler system. They ordered it, and it was cheaper than if I ordered it on Amazon. Thanks, American Drilling.”
