Desert Eagle Drilling in Johnson County
Johnson County is Chisholm Trail prairie — rolling hay ground and farm country — and out past Cleburne, Joshua, and Godley, a lot of homes still run on their own well. Desert Eagle Drilling has drilled and serviced Johnson County wells since 2019, part of more than 500 wells across North Texas.
We’re TDLR-licensed (Brad Butler #59822, David Maynor #60601) and run heavy, oil-field-grade equipment, and a real person answers when you call. New build near Grandview or a quit pump in Alvarado — we’re set up for either.
As Johnson County keeps growing south from the Metroplex, we drill a lot of new-construction wells here alongside the service work — and we handle the district paperwork so you don’t have to.
We work the whole county, from the older places around Cleburne and Keene to the new subdivisions filling in near Joshua and Alvarado, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a spot is better served by a fresh well or a fix to the one you’ve got.
Wells in Johnson County: what’s under your property
Johnson County wells draw on the Trinity Aquifer — specifically the Twin Mountains and Travis Peak section — the deep regional system under most of North Central Texas. Domestic wells here typically run about 400 to 900+ feet, though depth shifts across the county, so we pull the TWDB records and any prior driller’s log before sizing the well.
The water is reliable but hard, and iron is common — that’s the orange staining you see on fixtures. It’s a treatment matter, not a failing well, and we test your water first so you’re treating the actual problem.
The February 2021 freeze split long-serving pitless adapters across Johnson County, so we insulate and heat-tape wellheads as standard. And in a dry late summer, a shallower well can draw down — the fix is usually a deeper pump, not a new well.

Johnson County Water Well FAQ
How deep are water wells in Johnson County?
Most Johnson County wells draw from the Twin Mountains and Travis Peak section of the Trinity Aquifer, and typical depth runs about 400 to 900+ feet, though it varies across the county. We check well logs and TWDB records first.
Why does my Johnson County well water stain fixtures orange?
That is iron, which is common in Trinity water here. It is a water-quality issue, not a broken well — a treatment system handles it, and we test first.
Do I need a permit to drill a well in Johnson County?
Johnson County is in the Prairielands 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 come out to Johnson County after hours?
Yes. We answer 24/7 and are equipped to pull and replace pumps across Johnson County, from Cleburne to Grandview.
Can a Johnson County well run dry in a drought?
Shallower Trinity wells can draw down in a hot, dry late summer. The usual fix is setting the pump deeper, not a new well — we check depth first.
