They know us. They trust us. They continue to use us.

  • I contacted “Andrews & Foster Drilling Company” in the spring of 2014 about drilling a deep water well at our country property in East Texas. The employees at all stages of the project were very knowledgeable and eager to provide a quality product. My wife & I are extremely happy with our new well & would recommend “Andrews & Foster Drilling Company” to anyone looking for professionals in the water well drilling industry.

    Ron Shireman, Landowner

  • Several years ago, one of the HOAs I manage desperately needed a well qualified, reputable, and responsive company to handle ongoing problems with the well on their property. While speaking with another vendor about the problems, it was suggested that I contact Andrews & Foster.  After my conversations with Andrews & Foster; their visit to the site; their assessment of our well; and their recommended plan for repairs, we finally learned why the well had continual problems and how to resolve those issues.  It was clearly evident that Andrews & Foster knows their business and knows it well! Since that time back in 2011, I’ve used Andrews & Foster exclusively for all of my well servicing needs.  I’ve had such good success with them, that I recommend them to other community association managers when asked for a well servicing company.

  • I’ve worked with Andrews & Foster on dozens of projects, some in very challenging conditions. They are inventive, can change plans on the fly and will bend over backwards to make sure the job is done right.

    Kevin Spencer, P.G., R.W. Harden & Associates

  • Andrews & Foster is a rare company. They have drilled several wells for me and while there are other companies in my area who do what they do, I wouldn’t work with anyone else. Andrews & Foster is one of those companies that you can leave at the site and know that when you get back, it’ll all be done right.

    John Dickens, Residential Developer

  • What makes Andrews & Foster unique? Their commitment to a quality product and outstanding customer service. No matter what the challenge, Don Foster remains positive, always seeking immediate and long term solutions to whatever obstacles he faces in the completion of a project.

  • In May 2011, Texas Westmoreland Coal Co. acquired Andrews and Foster Drilling Company to provide drilling services for our dewatering operations at the Jewett Lignite Mine. With their vast experience, knowledge and production, TWCC was able to exceed our dewatering goals by the end of the year. In addition, and most importantly, this company’s safety program and their attention to detail was impeccable

  • Andrews & Foster has been an integral and valuable team member in helping us grow and maintain our business. They conduct themselves in a professional manner and have always been willing to go that “extra mile” to help ensure successful attainment of our goals. They truly act like a business partner in our relationship.
