Breezy Point is lake-home country on Pelican Lake — a resort community where most homes run hard all summer and sleep all winter, and every one of them drinks from a well. We open those wells up in spring, fix them through summer, and drill new ones when the old give up.
Breezy Point is lake-home country in Crow Wing County — seasonal places opened in spring and closed in fall, and a well that sat idle all winter deserves a look before the first weekend.
Breezy Point repair calls come in waves: opening weekend, when half the point turns its water on at once and the weak pumps show themselves; and midsummer, when a house built for four is hosting twelve and the tank can't keep up. Both are usually one failed part, found by testing.
Across the lakes area most wells land between 100 and 300 feet, and Breezy Point's wells are drilled in the same glacial sand the lake sits in. Your written estimate names the depth range we expect on your lot, from the well records around you, before the rig rolls.
Breezy Point is a regular run from Brainerd, twenty minutes up the road. Estimates are free and written after an in-person look; phones answered around the clock — including opening weekend.
We start with the cheap tests: switch ($125–$300), control box ($175–$500), tank charge. On seasonal places there's a fourth check — the well itself after a winter idle: a pump that sat can be fine, stuck, or done, and the tests tell us which before anyone prices a pull. Pulling the string starts near $1,000, in writing first.
Replacement prices by depth: $450–$1,400 under 100 feet, $1,000–$2,500 at 100–300 feet, $1,500–$5,000 past 300. For a seasonal place we'll talk straight about sizing: the pump has to serve your busiest July weekend, not your average Tuesday.
A new well in Breezy Point is one job with us: site visit and setbacks checked, the state well notification filed before the rig drills, the hole drilled and cased, the casing grouted and sealed, then pump, pressure tank, and electrical hookup to complete it. Per-foot rates: $28–$50 in sand and gravel, $40–$60 in mixed glacial ground, $50–$65 in bedrock, plus a $2,500–$5,500 completion package — the full picture is on our well drilling cost page.
Breezy Point drilling is mostly new lake homes and wells for places being rebuilt bigger. A well drilled for a two-bedroom cabin in 1975 meets a four-bathroom house today — sometimes it serves, sometimes it can't. We'll test the old well's flow before quoting a new hole.
Pressure tanks price by size — $400–$900 small, $800–$1,500 standard, $1,500–$2,500 large — and on a seasonal place the tank gets drained and checked at closing so it isn't a spring surprise. Selling? A well inspection runs $250–$550, well and septic together $400–$650 on one visit, lab panels available, written report for the lender.
Tell us what the water's doing, and whether you're here now or calling from home — we'll plan around your next trip up.
We test at the well on a booked visit; if you're not up here, the written estimate comes to you with photos of what we found.
Price, scope, and timing in writing before work starts. No work on a verbal okay.
Repairs usually finish the same visit. Drilling runs 4–8 weeks first call to water on — plan it in the off-season if you can.
Water run clear, pressure checked at the tap, paperwork in hand — or sent to you if you've already headed home.

Pulled 320 feet of drop pipe to reach a failing pump motor on a deep well. Motor work done, pump tested, and the whole string reset and disinfected.
“At 320 feet down, I knew this wasn't a small job. They explained why the motor work made sense instead of a whole new pump, did it in a day, and the water pressure is better than it's been in years.”
