After meeting with 3 different companies for a new well install, I decided to hire Nick as he came across as the most knowledgeable and professional. While his wasnt the cheapest quote, I felt like he was the right person for the job. My situation was a little more complicated due to the small lot, proximity of neighbors and other existings structures. While I could write an essay as to other differences Ive since realized in talking to three different contractors, Ill spare everyone these details. Hands down CE Layman was the right choice! No need to shop around. Ive already done the homework. Would highly recommend!
Honest, professional, experienced, knowledgeable, exceptional customer service and a competitive good price!! I would recommend C.E. Layman Company as my 1st choice! When I first called they answered the phone immediately, I spoke to Nick explained the situation with my low water pressure and pump running non- stop, pressure falling and cant maintain system pressure. Nick was able to help explain what was likely happening with my system.Nick was able to come out the next morning, diagnosed the exact problems, provide a detailed estimate and complete the job in 1 hour! New piping, new pump, well flush and treatment. My experience with Nick from C.E. Layman Company exemplifies excellent customer service, great pricing and a job done correctly. When I find a great company they become my goto choice for service. Thank you guys for a job well done and piece of mind my system is in great shape now. Sincerely Mike
Wonderful company!We found ourselves without water a week or so before Christmas, and it was super stressful. Called C.E. Layman and spoke to Nick. He was out the same day to assess the situation, and provide an estimate.The next day, was a go!Nick and his team came to the rescue. They were extremely professional, but down to earth. So many times, when encountering businesses with wonderful reputations...they arent the most easy to work with. I can say the COMPLETE opposite about these guys! They are well known, have a great reputation, and rightfully so. Just fantastic through and through, and did an amazing job.If we ever need well service in the future, we wouldnt even consider looking elsewhere.Thank you guys again so much!
After having well issues over the weekend, I did a bit of research and chose to reach out to CE Layman & Son because of all the good feedback I was finding and they didn’t disappoint. I called on Sunday and they were here replacing a pump by Tuesday afternoon. They were professional and eager to answer questions, they were done in lightening time and I found their pricing (& warranty) to be more than fair especially since Nick had fit us in between other jobs. Also, to my surprise, while he was here, Nick told us that it was their company & his uncle who had drilled our well originally, 30 years ago! CE Layman did a great job for us and I can highly recommend them!! Thank you Nick!
Nick was top notch! He found the issue quickly and fixed it even quicker. He walked me through everything. He was super easy to deal with and made getting a new well pump and great experience. My recommendation is don’t mess with other well companies, call C.E. Layman and Son first!!!
Thank you to Nick Layman and his team. I called at 10pm with no water and within 5 minutes my call was returned. Nick was able to trouble shoot my problem over the phone, so I could at least use the toilets. By 8am next morning his crew was at my door and resolved the problem. His professional team was able to determine the main cause and replaced my pump motor, cleaned the well, and inspected the complete system. Their knowledge and professionalism was well received since my wife and kids were only home. They reached out to me at work and explained everything that they completed in detail. The quality of work and materials used makes this company only one I’d use. Thank you to Matt and Bill for a plus one experience! If anyone needs any type of well work done, I recommend this company!
This is the second time I have dealt with C.E. Layman & Son, and both experiences were great! They are very quick to respond. I sent Nick a video of our issue and he knew exactly what was going on. They were at my house to fix the problem first thing the next morning and were quick to get the job done. Nick and his team are very friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone in need of well services!
Great company. Nick came out same day (on a Saturday) when our pump went out. He is super nice guy. Explained everything. Got us up and running with water again quickly. Best thing is they were $100s (yes plural) cheaper than other places, when I talked to my 5 of my neighbors that have had their pumps replaced in the past year. We are in a neighborhood that was built at the same time and our pumps are all about 20 years old and they are failing now. I strongly recommend!!!
Nick and his crew did an amazing job helping us with a well leaking situation that 5 other well companies wouldn’t touch. They were honest and very professional. Nick called us back a week after finishing the job to make sure the well had stopped leaking. We would and will highly recommend Layman to everyone who needs well work done. Thank you Nick, Brian and Kathy.
My pumped burned up on Friday night 8/21. Couldnt find anyone to come out in the next 24 hours. Contacted Nick and Saturday morning he called me back, Had a family wedding Saturday but he was out first thing Sunday to install, our new pump.Nick is a super guy. 4th generation and explained every detail he was going to do and explained what we might encounter. Could not of asked for a better well repair service. Outstanding.
I cannot give enough stars to show my thanks properly. Nick was incredibly easy to work with, honest and fair. He never took advantage of the position we were in. We were in a rush to get things moving forward due to a strict closing date so he came over on a Sunday to ensure we made our deadline. When I say he consistently went above and beyond throughout the process that is an understatement. If you need well work you will not regret calling!
Nick knew right away what my issue was over the phone. Matt was out the next morning and promptly fixed our pressure tank issue. Professional family friendly service all the way. Highly recommend their services if you find yourself in need of a well, or service to an existing one.
As a new homeowner I had no clue what to do when I woke up this morning and my water didn’t work, I called Nick and he was able to swing by within 30 minutes and had my well running again within the hour! Fantastic service from a great company and we will definitely be calling them in the future for all of our well needs!!!
Our well pump went out around 10pm. We had checked the breaker, the pressure switch, and the bladder tank.. and still nothing.I called Nick around 7am and explained what had happened. Nick was to my house before 9am and had finished the job before 10! He replaced the well pump, all fittings, checked our water pressure and made necessary adjustments. Nick was honest, professional, and very knowledgeable! After calling multiple well companies to get prices... Laymans was by far the best price! We will definitely be using Laymans in the future for anything we may need. I would recommend this company to anyone!
I woke up to no water and immediately researched local well drilling companies. I went with C.E. Layman & Sons from the previous reviews and I can say that I am glad that I did. Nick was in the area and came right over to check on my situation; unfortunately I needed a new pump, and Nick rearranged his schedule to come out the next morning to do the job. He explained everything about the job to me and was extremely helpful in telling me all that I needed to know to keep my new pump working best for me. I got professional, knowledgeable, friendly and honest work in an emergency situation . I would highly recommend C. E. Layman & sons to anyone who needs this type of work done. Thx Nick for your 5 star service.
I had the best experience with this company. I left a message this morning (on a holiday weekend) and got a return phone call right away! Nick Layman was able to come out to my house the very same day for a well inspection (much sooner than another company I called - they were not going to be able to come for almost a week).Nick communicated with me through every step of the way, which I appreciated and I think is nice. I love when people take the time to explain things to you, especially in a very specialized industry - not general knowledge. I would (and will!) recommend this company to anyone!
My well pump began cycling every 2 minutes in the middle of the night. The next day I called CE Layman. Nick was at my house in 30 mins, diagnosed my issue and said he could be out the next day to complete the repair. He was more than accommodating with payment options. He also explained exactly what was happening and how he was going to fix it. I am very happy with this company and will always recommend them.
Absolutely excellent service and communication. Elderly parents 30 year old well pump went out the Sunday of 4th of July week, 2019. No water for all the required cleaning and such was a killer. Called numerous well companies and barely got a response as parents well is 200 deep and the old style pump in the basement. Finally called C.E. Laymen on Tuesday morning. Nick was on vacation and called me within 2 hours of me leaving message. Had Matt come out that evening due to critical nature of needing water for the elderly parents. Reviewed the situation, ordered pump needed, will be back next day. Pump ordered and received on Wed was incorrect and they drove an hour and a half to get the proper pump and still Matt came out Wednesday night. Pump installed but couldnt get it primed and Matt had to leave due to another critical well problem for someone else and would come back next day as soon as he could. No problem at all going one more day--understand fully......Matt back at 9am on July 4th as promised, and pump started right up and primed. Just excellent old fashioned service. The way it should be. Great communication from an owner who cared, and on vacation no less. Pricing was exceptionally fair considering the timeliness and also being a Holiday--would highly recommend them in a heart beat. Thank you Nick, and thank you Matt and his Assistant for taking such good care of our parents! Truly appreciated.
My well system lost pressure. Called the C.E. Layman & Son and left a voicemail, Nick Layman called back in under 5 minutes, came out insanely fast between his other jobs, quickly knew exactly what the problem was, quickly fixed it. My well system is working better than it ever has since I bought the house. Friendly guy, knows his stuff, fast, quality work, and a decent price. Id recommend these guys to anyone.
Nick came out on short notice to figure out what was going on with the low water pressure in my house. He diagnosed the issue as uneven pressure levels in my pressure tank and a blockage in my whole house filter. He explained to me that I will need to replace my pressure tank and well pump down the road because they are over 20 yards old and even gave me a reasonable quote! He was very thorough, precise and knowledgeable. He charged me a nominal service fee and even gave me a discount because he was a little behind. I highly recommend him and will be contacting him for all future needs. Thanks again Nick!
Nick was able to come out to my house within 24 hours of my call after discussing my intermittent no-water issue over the phone. He showed up promptly the following morning and immediately got to work, diagnosing the problem in 5 minutes. Within just two hours, he had everything back up and running better than ever after installing a new well pump (previous was 22 years old and I feared it was dying on me when I called), upgrading my pressure switch, adjusting the tank pressure, replacing several fittings, and testing it all out. Very quick work, very professional, and he came prepared for any circumstances. On top of that, Im thankful he didnt mind my curiosity looking over his shoulder and asking questions. He was very helpful in making sure I understood how the entire system works and the steps he was taking, giving advice and recommending different options for me to choose from without pressuring me. He was very fair on pricing and just a great guy overall who I was glad to have do the work that was needed. I highly recommend CE Layman & Son to anyone requiring well maintenance!
Amazing company! Called and Matt was out within 30 minutes. Our tank had gone bad and burned out the pump – no water pressure. Matt talked me through the entire troubleshooting process. They had us up and running within just a few hours. We now have more water pressure than when we moved into the house 16 years ago! Nick even texted me the next day to make sure everything was okay. If you have any well issues these are they guys to use!
It was a bitterly cold Jan day that we called C.E. Layman & Son. Our Well Pump had stopped working. Nick and his team came the same day to replace a well pump, flush our well, and replace a pressure tank. By that evening, we have running water again. Best of all, at much better water pressure. Professional service, quick response, and willing to help solving our water issue make C.E. Layman stands out over its competitor. Im very glad that we call this company and Thank You so much Nick & the team.
I called CE Layman because they had the most 5 star reviews in the area and I’m glad I did!Nick answered right away. He asked me to send him a few pictures of the well and of my interior hookups. He diagnosed the most common problem and provided me a quote via text! One of his guys came out the next morning to make sure there weren’t any surprises he didn’t pick up on in the pictures and they finished the job less than 24 hours later!The work was fast and they cleaned up after themselves. The price was very fair and I’ll be using CE Layman for any well needs going forward.I give my highest recommendation to CE Layman!
I had a old well pump leaking down. It was a rough situation having to turn my water off every night to prevent the pump from turning on every few minutes. It was close to the weekend and the start of freezing temps. Nick was to the rescue. He worked quickly to get the pump replaced. Checked on everything all the way through the well system and recommended i flush the well. I am so glad he was able to get me back up and running as quickly as he did. The flushing of the well had never been done in the past and im happy we did. This is one of the absolute best companies ive ever had the pleasure of dealing with and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much Nick !!!
I was so impressed with Nick and his very fast, prompt service. I called on a Sunday afternoon and he came and put in a new well pump in before the end of the day. He didn’t overcharge me, in fact he could have charged a Sunday rate and didn’t. His communication was great and he kept me updated with texts and photos about my well. I highly recommend.
I was experiencing low water pressure and very high electric bills. (As it turned out, my well pump was running constantly!) After doing some on line research, I knew that there was something terribly wrong with my 26 year old well pump, and probably my holding tank. I contacted a few well contractors and only received a response from two! CE Layman was one of them, and Nick Laymans compassion for my concerns was outstanding. Within a matter of days, they attacked my issues and had my well up and running. If you live in an area where your well is located in tight quarters, hire this company!! They have a small, well drilling/crane machine that can maneuver in just about any location. Throughout the entire process, Nick explained their every move and answered all of my questions. Nick made me feel important as a customer and was not at all bothered by my questions. They cleaned my well, and boy, the nasty stuff that came out was a sight to behold! They took the time to make sure that my pressure was where it should be and that my water was clear and sparkling once again. I need to give kudos to Matt who had to enter the crawl space to replace my holding tank! Not an easy job nor a comfortable position to be in. He did not complain because this is how CE Layman is....they will get it done!! I couldnt be happier with their work process and the time it took to complete the job. Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and honest. I am so appreciative. The price was fair and honest. I will beyond a doubt recommend CE Layman to anyone who has well issues. Thank you Nick and Matt.
My almost brand new well pump stopped working late at night on December 23rd. I tried calling the Well company that recently installed the well and their answering service said they would get back to me on December 26th. This was was not acceptable since we are hosting for the holidays. I called Nick at C.E. Well Service and he texted me back immediately even though it was well after business hours on a holiday weekend. He was even nice enough to help me troubleshoot the problem over the phone and helped me get up and running again until he could get someone out to me. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and has empathy for other people. I am having him come to replace my switch next week and would highly recommend C.E. Well service to anyone that is looking for a reputable company that has excellent customer service!!!!
Excellent experience. Nick asked all the right questions when I was describing the problem, gave good answers that aligned with what had researched. Was able to get out the same day that I called and get the job done which entailed a new tank and pump, submersible pump 200+ feet down, in spite of the heavy rains that day. All the necessary accessories, switch, fittings. wiring etc all on their truck. Nick and his partner were very professional and took the time to answer all our questions. We felt that they had a sincere concern on getting our water system back up and running. HIGHEST recommendation.
My husband had been traveling all week, and I was home alone with three kids under the age of six when we lost water in the house!!! Nick came out on a Friday afternoon and diagnosed a very serious problem. He and his Dad returned early Saturday morning to start replacing the well pump. By Saturday, noon time, I was getting caught up on laundry. They were very professional and also friendly with the kids. Thank you, guys! C.J. Layman & Son did a great job, and we highly recommend them!!!
Nick and team drilled a new well for our family. His quote was reasonable, more importantly though- it was crystal clear. We knew exactly what to expect and everything happened just as he said it would. Nick is a pros pro. He answered all our questions, communicated well through the process, planned and timed perfectly, and cleaned up well before they left. Thanks Nick
Had to get my well fixed, Layman Well Drilling came the day after I called them (I still had water). They installed a new pump, bladder tank, and pressure switch was in an hour and a half (arrival, fix, and departure). The crew was friendly, careful to leave the site as undisturbed as possible, quick, and thorough.Love the little rig for getting in a small space.
Ive had two great experiences with C.E. Layman & Son Well Drilling. I had a well pump go out and they came out and replaced it within hours. About a year later my pressure tank started leaking and once again they were able to make it out that same day so my family could have water. Very clean and very professional work. Top notch service from a top notch company. Thanks C.E. Layman & Son!
Shout out to C E Layman & Son Well Drilling!!! No water on a Saturday night, return phone call within 10 minutes, amazing response time!! Sunday arrival and fixed! Matt and his Sunday helper 😀 were simply amazing! Calming and reassuring regardless of the issue. Thankfully it wasnt as bad as it could have been. C E layman will always be our one and only call for our well and the only company we would refer to family or friends. Top notch service that truly exceeds your expectations!
Woke up with water in my basement and a well tank that decided to spring a leak. Called C.E. Layman and Son at 8:00 am and they had my new tank installed before 11. Nick and his worker (want to say Mike but not sure) were very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to call them again when needed!!
Amazing service. Woke up to no water paid 85$ for a diagnosis and estimate from another company. Called nick and his estimate was hundreds cheaper. I had some inside issues as well including the pressure accumulator. I wanted to wait because of cost and he worked with me to get a price that I could afford. They came out and in just a short time fixed everything and both guys were super awesome to work with. I will call them anytime in the future when I need work done.
Just had to have my well pump replaced when it went out. (pump was 15 years old and well was done in 1966). Nick (4th generation in this company) was great,fast and very passionate about getting my water back as soon as possible. Even when extra parts were needed he found them quickly and on the same day he looked at the pump, it was replaced and working better than ever. The quote was honest, and service was worth it.
My well pump wasnt building pressure, it would not shut off on its own. I didnt run out of water but I didnt want the pump constantly running. I called C.E Layman + Son and they were at my door the next day at 9:30 a.m. The pump was replaced, the well was cleaned (nasty brown rusty water was turned to sparkling clear) and sanitized all in about 2 hours time by a couple very nice and knowledgeable men. All questions were answered and explained. They adjusted the pressure switch and made sure everything was operating as it should.Thank you for quick, quality and curtious service. If anyone asks me about a well service company, C.E. Layman and Son will be my recommendation.Chris in Grand Blanc township
C.E. Layman fixed a well tank issue I had on a shallow well. They were the only place with the knowledge and expertise to finally fix it correctly and it has worked flawlessly since.They were also very easy to get ahold of and the price was very fair. Turnaround time was also very quick. One of the best contractors I have ever dealt with.
I had my well pump replaced and they did an amazing job. They use the best parts available without asking. I did some well pump research before hand and was pleased to see that they use top of the line pumps. I would without a doubt recomend C.E. Layman & Son to anyone in the area that needs well service. Very friendly and more than happy to answer all of my questions.
Woke up Tuesday 7/25 to no water! :(. I dreaded calling anyone since Ive had bad experiences with companies trying to rip off a single woman! It was not the case with C.E. Layman and Son Well drilling The Son Nick came out same day,changed out a regulator that was shot,and in doing me a favor and changing my inline house filter discovered a leak from the well casing.That filter tube was full of rusty grit! He did not pressure me in any way to get it replaced right now, just said I should keep an eye on the amount of grit from now on. That was great, but I discovered after having a new regulator and it working properly the hole was bigger than we thought. I called and said I didnt want to wait and possibly have an emergency call in the winter. I was scheduled for the day after,and he flushed my Well,told me it didnt need to be as deep as it was so saved me money in the long run. I will recommend them to everyone! Truely an A+++ company.He recommended I change my filter again in a few days to just make sure any last residuel of crud would be expelled by then,and guess what I still couldnt do it! I gave him a call and he stopped by after his last job and replaced it for me again, Thank You Nick, I have you on speed dial!!
We woke up with no running water. I left a voicemail for Nick around 7 am, had a returned phone call by 7:30. He was able to come over and identify the issue that morning and have everything repaired and running by noon that day. Very informative, will use again in the future.
A wonderful company! Nick, Matt and Charlie were great, very patient with all my questions, did not go over the quote and were here when they said they would be. I cant say enough about these guys! I was not looking forward to dealing with the well situation, actually, was dreading it, but they made it a very positive experience. Thank you, C.E Layman, for doing what you do so well!!
They did a great job! Theyre fair, honest and very quick to help. Our schedules worked out to where they had to put our new well in while we were out of town. They kept me informed while we were gone and came home to the job completely finished. We would highly recommend them.
After being without a working well for 5 weeks and taking several days off work to meet other contractors I stumbled upon CE Layman & Sons best thing that could have happened. Amazing communication. And got what I thought was an un-repairable job done!! I will keep the # and recommend them to anyone and everyone!!
We woke up one morning with no water. I called them at 630am and left a message, they got back with me by 730am. They came by and took at look at our problem, gave us a quote on what needed to be done. By 1230, they were done and the problem was solved. Nick was super nice and professional.
IF I COULD GIVE NICK AN ADDITIONAL STAR, I WOULD. HE DID EVERYTHING THAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO. NOT SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY SEE. IF YOU NEED WELL SERVICES, THIS IS THE GUY!!! HE WAS INFORMATIVE, UPFRONT, ACCURATE AND PATIENT WITH MY 100 QUESTIONS I HAD. THANKS GUYS AND KEEP IT UP!!

2022-01-31If I could give this company 10 stars I would. Nick is amazing, knowledgeable and just a GREAT person. We woke up with no water on a Saturday and Nick came out twice to get the job done. He had to do some problem solving but he came up with a solution that worked. I will never hesitate to recommend C. E. Layman and if we ever have problems in the future they will be our first call. Words really cant describe how appreciative we are to Nick.

2021-07-12As a local business owner, I was looking for a local company to look at my well. After reading the reviews I decided to go with C.E Layman & Son. Most well companies would not even take a look at a shallow well but I called CE and Matt came over the same day. I knew even before he looked at it that it was time to replace my 60 year old well. The well was still working but my pump was working overtime. Matt concluded the well had served its time and Nick sent over a quote the same day. Matt let me know they were busy and it would take a week or 2 before they could get to me since I still had water, but to let them know if things change. My critical well turned into a terminal well. I lost my pump and water later that night. Nick put his team into action and took care of me the very next day. Matt and Nick are courteous and professional. I am so glad we have a solid family run company locally! Great job!! Highly recommend!

2022-07-17Flat out amazing. Responded within minutes. Had a new well done in days and was priced below than the competition. Do not waste your time with anyone else.

2021-12-24Without a doubt the best company around. I lost water late last night (the day before Christmas eve) and texted Nick immediately. Nick responded first thing in the morning and personally came out ON CHRISTMAS EVE! to repair our system so that we would have water on Christmas. Nick went above and beyond in all aspects of service and my family cant thank him enough. I will do business with Nick Layman for the rest of my life. Thank you so much. Glad to know that there are still honorable businesses out there and great Americans running them.

2021-10-28Our pump went out late last night and when my husband began calling around this morning, no one was available until a week or later.When my husband called C.E. Layman & Son, Nick was actually concerned for us that we didnt have any water and made us a priority.A couple hours later, Matt and Brian showed up. They were so helpful and knowledgable. They knew exactly what needed repaired and replaced.They worked hard to get the job done and were more than willing to explain everything they were doing. Very nice and professional guys!!Thank you so much for having such kind and caring people.We would highly recommend C.E. Layman & Son!!!!!!Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

2022-04-19Cannot speak highly enough of the entire experience. Their communication was prompt, everyone was polite & courteous, the install was fast & professionally done, and they took care to not make a mess & cleaned up after themselves.

2021-02-09I contacted C.E. Layman and Son Well Drilling when I lost water pressure. Nick Layman got back with me promptly and sent a technician to my residence within an hour. Matt replaced a pressure switch and attaching line that was corroding. The work was completed within a half hour and my well pump water pressure is better than it has been in years! The cost of the repairs was very reasonable. I highly recommend contacting this company for your well service needs.Dave Martini

2021-03-05Wouldnt take my business anywhere else! C.E. Layman is hands down the best! We have a deck over our existing well (not ideal!) and needed all new water lines put it. Nick was very quick in responding. He was extremely professional. Took the time to explain the different options and exceeded our expectations. If you need work done know that this company is honest, professional and reliable. They truly take pride in their work. Thanks again!

2021-05-04We needed a new well, and Nick and his crew (Matt and Brian) were outstanding to work with. Nick explained the process and options thoroughly which were complicated by a lakefront, septics and existing structures. CE Layman delivered as promised and got our water back running expeditiously. We would highly recommend.

2020-04-21This Company is amazing. My phone call at 8 am was answered right away, Nick promised someone would be at my home same day. They texted me first to let me know when they were on the way. Once the guy got to my home, he was so pleasant and patient, explaining everything to me. Ended up having to buy a new well pump and a new air tank, but he installed them both same day, was gone in about 2 1/2 hours, and the price was amazingly reasonable. I would tell anyone and everyone who needs well work done to call this company! I cannot thank them enough!
