Desert Eagle Drilling in Hood County
Hood County sits in the cedar-and-limestone hills along the Brazos, and around Granbury, Tolar, and Lipan a private well is the norm once you’re off the lake water. Desert Eagle Drilling has drilled and serviced Hood County wells since 2019 — more than 500 wells across North Texas and counting.
We’re TDLR-licensed (Brad Butler #59822, David Maynor #60601) and run oil-field-built rigs that handle the Paluxy depths here without complaint. A real person answers the phone, day or night.
From a new well on an Acton or Cresson build to a failed pump out toward Paluxy, we’re close enough to get there and equipped to finish the job the same trip.
Granbury’s lake keeps steady new building coming into Hood County, and we drill the wells for the homes going up on the acreage just past the water lines — then keep them running for the long haul.
Wells in Hood County: what’s under your property
Hood County wells tap the Trinity Aquifer, most often its Twin Mountains formation, which outcrops across the western part of the county — typical domestic wells run about 200 to 700 feet, and we check TWDB logs before drilling.
The water is usually solid but hard, and both iron and localized sulfur turn up in Hood County wells — orange staining or a rotten-egg smell are the tells. Those are treatment items, and we test first rather than guess.
The 2021 freeze cracked pitless adapters across Hood County just like everywhere else in North Texas, so wellhead insulation and heat tape are standard on our work. And a hard, dry late summer can draw a shallow well down — usually a deeper pump setting solves it.

Hood County Water Well FAQ
How deep are water wells in Hood County?
Hood County wells draw from the Trinity Aquifer’s Twin Mountains formation, which outcrops across the western part of the county, and typical depth is about 200 to 700 feet. We check well logs and TWDB records first.
Why does my Granbury-area well smell like sulfur?
Some Hood County wells carry a rotten-egg sulfur odor from bacteria, especially after sitting idle. It is treatable — we test the water and match the fix to it.
Do I need a permit to drill a well in Hood County?
Hood County is in the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District, which has registration and spacing rules. We take care of all of that paperwork as part of a new drill, so you’re not chasing permits.
Do you do after-hours pump work in Hood County?
Yes. We answer 24/7 and are equipped to pull and replace pumps across Hood County, including properties along the Brazos and out toward Tolar and Lipan.
Can my Hood County well run low in a drought?
Shallower Trinity wells can draw down in a dry late summer. The usual fix is setting the pump deeper, not drilling a new well — we evaluate depth first.
