Crosby is Cuyuna country — old mining towns, deep ground, and wells that work harder to reach water than the lake towns' wells do. We pull the deep pumps, fix the failures, and drill new wells out here.
Crosby sits in Crow Wing County's old mining country, and wells out here can run deep — the 320-foot pump pull in our recent work is a Crosby well.
Crosby repair calls skew deep. This is old mining country, the wells run long, and when a pump quits at 300 feet it's a pull, not a quick swap — we bring the rig hands, not just the parts box. The shallow stuff still shows up — switches, control boxes, waterlogged tanks — and those we finish the same visit. But if you're in Crosby and the water stops, plan on us asking your depth before we roll.
Depths run deeper around Crosby than the lakes-area norm — the region's wells mostly land between 100 and 300 feet, and Crosby pushes the deep end of that and past it. Your estimate names the depth range we expect on your lot, from the well records around you, before the rig rolls.
Crosby is east of Brainerd, close enough that we're out here weekly. Estimates are free, written, and done at the well; phones answered around the clock.
The cheap tests still come first — switch, control box, tank charge — because a $210 switch fails on deep wells too. But Crosby is where our pull work concentrates: pump pull and motor work runs $950–$2,650, and at 300-plus feet we'll walk you through repair-versus-replace math in writing before the string comes up.
Replacement at Crosby depths usually means the deep band: $1,500–$5,000 for a submersible past 300 feet, against $1,000–$2,500 for the standard 100–300 foot set and $450–$1,400 under 100. At these depths the wire and drop pipe get inspected hard on the way down — replacing them mid-job is nobody's favorite surprise.
Drilling a new well in Crosby is one job with us: site visit, setbacks, the state well notification filed before the rig drills, the hole drilled and cased, the casing grouted and sealed, then pump, tank, and electrical. Per-foot rates run $28–$50 in sand and gravel, $40–$60 in mixed glacial ground, $50–$65 in bedrock, plus a $2,500–$5,500 completion package — line by line on our well drilling cost page.
Crosby sits in the old Cuyuna mining country, and the ground here makes wells work deeper than the lake towns — our 320-foot pump pull in recent work is a Crosby well. If your place is on an old deep well, we'll test what's down there before we talk about a new hole.
Pressure tanks run $400–$2,500 by size out here too, and a waterlogged tank on a deep well is a pump-killer with a longer pull attached — worth catching early. Selling? A well inspection runs $250–$550, well and septic together $400–$650 on one visit, lab panels available, written report for the lender.
First question in Crosby is depth: how deep is the well, if you know it? That one answer loads the right truck.
We come out and test at the well head. On a deep well, the estimate spells out the pull before anyone commits to it.
Written price, scope, and timing — including what a 300-foot pull involves — before work starts.
Shallow repairs usually finish the same visit; deep pulls are a day of their own. Drilling runs 4–8 weeks first call to water on.
Water run clear, pressure checked, paperwork in hand — and the old parts yours to look at if you want them.

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.”
