National Water Services

What National Water Services does

National Water Services, LLC (NWS) is a privately held, vertically integrated water well services company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Paoli, Indiana. The company provides end-to-end groundwater solutions — pre-drilling exploration and hydrogeological assessment, well design, drilling via multiple methods (direct rotary, cable tool, reverse circulation, dual rotary, mud rotary, auger, downhole hammer), well development, maintenance and rehabilitation, and pump and motor supply — to municipal, industrial, agricultural, recreational, commercial, and residential customers across 11 U.S. states. NWS holds Water Well Driller, Pump Installer, and General/Municipal-Utility Construction Contractor licenses across multiple jurisdictions and operates 8 regional offices with 24/7 emergency service. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reynolds National Corp, enabling coordination with affiliated engineering, operations, and leasing entities.

The company's technology stack is anchored in a broad portfolio of drilling methods and patented proprietary well-rehabilitation technology. Its registered High Velocity Injection (HVI) Cleaning Technology uses pulsed, high-pressure water injection to dislodge mineral buildup, biofouling, and obstructions from well screens without damaging well structure, positioning NWS as a differentiated provider in the well-maintenance segment. Equipment partnerships with leading pump manufacturers allow NWS to supply submersible, centrifugal, booster, and vertical turbine pumps along with motors and controls (across-the-line starters, VFDs, soft starters). The firm emphasizes safety (a disclosed TRIR of 0 versus an industry average of 3.0) and operational depth, with several decades-tenured executives leading operations.

NWS monetizes through project-based professional services contracts (well drilling, development, rehabilitation, wastewater/lift station work), hardware sales of pumps/motors/controls, and recurring Well Field Management maintenance agreements. Go-to-market is sales-led: dedicated Sales Directors and Project Managers in each operating territory engage clients directly, pursue RFP submissions for municipal and government contracts, and provide 24/7 emergency response. Pricing is custom and quote-based; revenue is distributed across multiple verticals, with municipalities identified as the primary segment and industrial, agricultural, recreational, residential, and commercial customers as secondary segments.
