Langer Drilling, father and son duo, are awesome. I needed a new well put in and I was just hoping to have more than 8 GPM. They definitely exceeded my desire; I now have a well with 60 GPM that will more than fulfill my needs, even if I do put in a garden or lawn. Thank you Langer Drilling.
Can't say enough great things about this father and son crew. Stand up Americans, and Jay the son is a Marine vet. We shared some great chats about serving this great country while on my job site. We witched out the drill spot a day prior.
We have water. Terrific work. Father and son are both professional and courteous, with great rates. The date of drilling needed to be adjusted a couple of times and they were fantastic in communication and flexibility.
If you want experience, reliability, professionalism, and you want some water, hire Langer Drilling and Pump. They are extremely familiar with Idaho's water tables and have been doing wells for a long time. They made the process easy and we have water.
Very pleased with Pike and Jay's work. Very professional and personable, with quick response time even when they had a busy schedule. They let me know when they would show up, and did. In and out in a couple days and they found the best water for me. We absolutely love it. Would recommend Langer to anyone.
Langer Drilling and Pump did an excellent job drilling our well. They are professional and courteous. I highly recommend them.
A generational, family-run company that believes in service. They put in a residential well for me and the service was excellent. Their prices and services are great, and communication with the customer even better.
We've had them do more than one well for us and they've always done a good job. Quick to get the job done correctly and to our satisfaction. We had a few issues with one well and they let us know the best options and it worked out. Thank you Pike and JP.
I couldn't be more happy with the job JP and Pike did drilling my well. They are great to work with and do an amazing job. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a well drilled.
These guys drill a good well and they're good dudes too. You don't see too many honest, hard working good ol' boys any more.
Amazing family-run business. Honest, fair, hardworking. Would totally recommend them.
Good dudes, very honest and hardworking.
Very happy with the well.
Very pleased with their work. We've used them on two separate properties.
Our story
Two generations, one promise: get the water right.
Langer Drilling and Pump is a father-and-son operation rooted in Midvale, Idaho. Jay grew up around the rigs before serving in the United States Marine Corps. After his enlistment Jay came home to work alongside his dad, raise his family, and build a business his neighbors can rely on.
Pike Langer was born and raised in Idaho and has been drilling wells in this country for over fifteen years. He works hard, believes in doing the job right the first time, and that standard shows up on every site we leave.
In our own words
“We live in the country we work in, and we know the geology, the water table, and most of the people who hire us.”

Questions we hear a lot
Straight answers.
How much does a new well cost?
It depends on your site. Depth, geology, and the system all shape the job, so rather than guess over the phone, we come look and give you a free estimate. Call us and we'll walk through it together.
How deep will my well need to be?
Depth varies across the range we work, and we estimate before we drill using local knowledge, neighboring well logs, and geology data when we need it. Most domestic wells in southwest and central Idaho land between 100 and 400 feet, with mountain sites running deeper.
How long does it take to drill a well?
A typical domestic well is a couple of days of drilling once we're on site, though scheduling, permits, and weather move the start date. We give you a realistic timeline up front and keep you posted if anything shifts.
Do I need a permit to drill a well in Idaho?
Idaho requires a permit and a state-filed driller's log for new wells, and the work has to be done by a licensed driller, and there's no drill-it-yourself option in Idaho. As a licensed outfit we handle the permit and the paperwork as part of the job, so you get the well, the log, and the records the state needs.
Do you drill for farms and irrigation?
Yes. We drill agricultural and irrigation wells and size them to your real GPM needs, so give us a call to talk through what your operation requires.
The fastest way to get water sorted is a phone call.
