Well Drilling and Pump Repair in Stark County, OH
Homeowners across Stark County depend on private wells every day, from farmland outside Hartville and Louisville to established neighborhoods in Canton, North Canton, and Massillon. At A & G Well Drilling, we are a second-generation, family-owned well drilling and pump repair company based nearby in Ravenna. Since 1964, we have drilled, serviced, and repaired water well systems throughout Northeast Ohio, and our motto has stayed the same since day one: quality work done right the first time.
We are not a fly-by-night outfit that shows up once and disappears. Stark County families and property owners call us back year after year because we understand the ground beneath this county and we stand behind the systems we install.
What Stark County’s Ground Means for Your Well
Well depth and yield in Stark County depend heavily on where you sit relative to the county’s glacial till and buried valley aquifers versus its Pennsylvanian-age shale and sandstone bedrock. Properties near the Tuscarawas River valley and its tributaries often draw from sand and gravel deposits, while wells farther from the river corridor, including many parcels around Alliance and Hartville, more commonly finish in bedrock. Drilling the correct well for the correct formation is not guesswork. It takes decades of hands-on experience with this specific county’s subsurface to avoid a well that runs dry in a summer drought or a system that never delivers consistent pressure.
Our crews have drilled and serviced wells across Canton, North Canton, Massillon, Alliance, Hartville, Louisville, and the surrounding townships long enough to know where shallow sand-and-gravel wells perform well and where a deeper bedrock well is the safer investment.
New Well Construction and Replacement Wells
A properly constructed well starts with correct depth for your specific parcel, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We evaluate your property’s location within Stark County, nearby well logs, and known local formations before we ever set up the rig. Our new well construction and replacement well services include:
Licensed and Ohio Department of Health Compliant
Because every well we drill is permitted and inspected to Ohio Department of Health standards, you get a documented, code-compliant system rather than a shortcut that creates problems at resale or refinancing.
Well Drilling, Pump, and Water System Services
Well Pump Repair, Pressure Tanks, and Water Conditioning
A well is only as good as the pump and tank moving that water into your home. When a Canton or Massillon homeowner calls us with low pressure, no water, or a pump that short-cycles, the cause is usually one of a handful of things: a failing submersible pump, a waterlogged pressure tank, a cracked pressure switch, or sediment fouling the system after years of use. Our pump and system services include:
Stark County groundwater frequently carries dissolved iron and sulfur, particularly in bedrock wells around Alliance and Hartville, which is why we pair pump repair with water conditioning recommendations rather than treating the symptom without addressing water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions About Well and Pump Service in Stark County
Well depth in Stark County typically ranges from around 80 feet in sand and gravel areas near the Tuscarawas River corridor to 200 feet or more in bedrock-dominant areas farther from the river. The right depth depends on your specific parcel, nearby well logs, and local formation, which is why we evaluate each property individually rather than using a standard number.
Sulfur odor and orange or reddish staining are usually caused by dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas and iron in the groundwater, both of which are common in bedrock wells across Stark County, particularly around Alliance and Hartville. A properly sized water conditioning system typically resolves both issues.
Well pump repair cost depends on whether the issue is the pump itself, the pressure tank, the switch, or wiring, since a pressure tank replacement and a submersible pump replacement carry very different price points. We diagnose the actual cause first and provide a free, itemized estimate before any repair work begins.
Yes, new well construction in Stark County requires a permit and must comply with Ohio Department of Health private water system regulations. We handle the permitting process as part of every new well or replacement well project so you do not have to navigate it yourself.
Most residential wells benefit from an inspection and, if needed, a clean-out every several years, though wells with visible sediment, declining pressure, or age beyond 20 to 25 years should be checked sooner. Regular attention prevents sediment buildup from shortening your pump’s lifespan.
