What We Do

Complete Water Well Services for Your Home

From the first drill to ongoing maintenance, we keep your water flowing cleanly and reliably — no matter what San Juan Island weather throws our way.

New Well Drilling

Starting fresh? We'll assess your property, find the best spot, and drill a production well that meets your family's water needs — properly permitted and built to last.

Well Pump Repair

Low pressure? No water? We diagnose and repair submersible and jet pump systems fast. Most calls get same-day attention so you're not left dry.

Well Maintenance

Annual check-ups catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies. We inspect caps, electrical connections, pressure tanks, and water quality.

Water Quality Testing

Know what's in your water. We collect samples and send them to certified labs for bacteria, nitrates, minerals, and other contaminant analysis.

Well Rehabilitation

Old wells can lose output over time. We clean, restore, and redevelop existing wells to bring them back to peak performance — often avoiding a costly replacement.

System Upgrades

From pressure tanks to filtration systems, we upgrade your whole-house water setup for better flow, cleaner taste, and longer equipment life.

About Us

Your Neighbors Keep Your Water Flowing

Martel Water Well Technologies was founded right here in Friday Harbor with a simple promise: treat every home like it's our own. We know San Juan Island's geology, water tables, and the unique challenges island living brings — from seasonal demand spikes to the salt air that speeds up equipment wear.

When you call us, you're not getting a corporate dispatch center. You're getting a local crew that shows up on time, explains what's wrong in plain English, and won't sell you a replacement when a repair will do.

Why Martel

What Makes Us Different

It's not just about drilling holes and running pipes. It's about the relationship we build with every homeowner on the island.

We Live Here Too

Our kids go to school in Friday Harbor. We shop at the same co-op. We understand why a reliable water supply matters when the ferry schedule is tight and supplies are limited.

No Surprise Bills

We give you a clear estimate before any work starts. If we find something unexpected, we call you first — we don't just add it to the invoice.

Built for the Islands

San Juan Island's soil, rock, and climate are unique. We've drilled hundreds of wells here and know exactly what works — and what doesn't.

Long-Term Relationships

Many of our customers have been with us since day one. We don't just fix wells — we maintain them, so you're never caught off guard.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

Don't take our word for it — hear from the homeowners and property managers who trust us with their water.

"Our pump went out on a Saturday and Martel had someone out by Sunday morning. They diagnosed the issue quickly, had the part in their truck, and had us running again by lunch. Incredible service."

Sarah M. Friday Harbor

"We bought a property with a well that was producing sand and barely any water. Martel came out, explained the situation honestly, and rehabilitated the well instead of pushing a full replacement. Saved us thousands."

Robert T. East Sound

"They drilled our new well two years ago and have been maintaining it ever since. Always on time, always friendly, and they explain everything so we actually understand what's going on with our system."
