About Us

Meet Shane Mitchell

My name is Shane Mitchell. I am the driller and owner of A1 Water Well Drilling and Service. I was born and raised in Winnsboro. Aside from the years I spent in Nacogdoches getting a degree in business, I have spent my whole life here. My wife, Katie, and I are raising four precious children in this community. I would have it no other way!

How it started

I got started in the water well drilling industry as a matter of necessity. I was short of water during summer months at our poultry farms. I was forced to haul water seven days a week in the summers to make up for the deficit. I did not have the funds to hire the necessary wells drilled so I built a homemade rig and drilled the wells for myself.

With a little luck and by God's grace the wells that were drilled at my farms were so successful that neighbors and friends became interested in hiring me to do for them what I had done for myself.

Equipped to serve East Texas

We have added some equipment to better serve our community. We currently have 3 drilling rigs and 4 pulling units. We are capable of drilling up to 1500 ft and pulling pumps up to 30,000 lbs.

Over the past few years we have had the great fortune to serve East Texans drilling and servicing hundreds of wells for homeowners, farmers and cities. We look forward to serving you. I will be glad to provide references for both commercial and domestic drilling and service jobs.
