About 3RD Gen Drilling
3Rd Gen Drilling
A Legacy of Water, Built on Generations of Trust
3Rd Gen Drilling is more than a drilling contractor — we’re a family legacy built on decades of honest work, technical precision, and deep respect for the land and people we serve. Founded in 2018 and backed by over 25 years of hands-on industry experience, we are proud to be a licensed and insured company delivering high-quality well drilling and pump services across the entire state of Utah.
As a third-generation business, we understand that water isn’t just a utility — it’s a lifeline for homes, ranches, farms, and growing communities. That’s why our commitment goes beyond equipment and excavation. We prioritize customer relationships, safety, and long-term performance in every project we take on.
Family-Owned and Operated Since the Beginning
At the heart of 3Rd Gen Drilling is a team that treats every job like it’s being done on our own land. We’re a family-operated business, and that shows in the way we work — with integrity, care, and respect.
Our founder, Shane Anderson, brings a lifetime of experience in water system design, well construction, and pump servicing. Combined with a crew of highly trained specialists, we offer expertise that spans across residential, agricultural, and commercial water systems.
We don’t believe in shortcuts — we believe in solutions that last. Every well we drill and every pump we install is backed by generational knowledge and a passion for doing the job right the first time.
Methods
Air Rotary
Best for: Hard rock and rapid drilling.
"Utilizes high-velocity compressed air to shatter rock formations, offering the fastest penetration rates for deep, stable wells."
Mud Rotary
Best for: Sand, gravel, and unstable soil.
"Circulates drilling fluid to support the borehole walls, preventing collapse in loose or sandy soil where other methods fail."
Reverse Circulation
Best for: Large diameter wells and clean sampling.
"Uses a dual-wall pipe system to return cuttings directly to the surface, perfect for high-capacity irrigation wells and maximizing yield."
