Weeks Drilling & Pump Company Comparative Summary

Few companies in the water well and pump field earn the prestigious Diamond Certified award, which means they’ve been independently rated Highest in Quality. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Weeks Drilling & Pump Company falls into another impressive category: It’s been providing residential and commercial water solutions for Northern California customers for more than 100 years. “As far as I know, the only Sebastopol-based company that’s older is the Sebastopol Times newspaper,” says CEO Chris Thompson.

Weeks Drilling & Pump Company not only designs and drills new water wells, but it also offers water treatment and testing, water pumps and tanks, and well repairs. The company works on jobs of every size, from small repairs and installations to servicing complex industrial and vineyard water systems. “We have the largest fleet of specialized equipment in the North Bay,” says Mr. Thompson. “That means we have broader capabilities than our competitors and can quickly mobilize, which is important to our customers.”

Weeks Drilling & Pump Company also has the largest database of existing well information in Sonoma County, which helps its employees quickly find water for new wells that are being drilled. “Those records are all computer-indexed and available to help our customers find new water sources,” says Mr. Thompson. “They’re very valuable to our operation.”

Mr. Thompson says his customers frequently comment on how fast Weeks Drilling & Pump Company was able to arrive and perform its services. “Unlike some other companies, we really strive to get the water back on during the same day.”

Weeks Drilling & Pump Company has a second facility in Ukiah, which furthers its service area and expands a customer base that’s been growing exponentially since 1906. Mr. Thompson sees the company’s extended success as a reflection of its business approach. “There have been very few ownership changes in the long history of this company,” he says. “It’s family-owned and family-oriented, and we intend to keep it that way.”
