About Franklin County

We’re proud to serve Franklin County.

Down on the Forgotten Coast, the utility lines stop early and the salt air never quits. We drill and service wells across Franklin County, from Apalachicola and Eastpoint out to Carrabelle, Lanark Village, and Alligator Point, built to stand up to coastal conditions, with pump work available seven days a week.

Why we offer service in Franklin County

Coastal sand, shallow water tables, and salt exposure make Franklin County wells a job for a licensed pro: the right depth and casing are the difference between clear water and constant trouble. Plenty of homes and fish camps here sit outside municipal lines, and a properly drilled well is simply how they get their water.

A little about Franklin County

Apalachicola was one of the Gulf’s busiest cotton ports in the 1800s before the bay made it famous for oysters. It’s also where Dr. John Gorrie pioneered mechanical refrigeration while trying to cool fever patients. Down the coast, Carrabelle’s Camp Gordon Johnston trained a quarter-million soldiers for World War II amphibious landings.
