No Water? No Worries! B&B Waterworks Keeps Wells Flowing At Lake Of The Ozarks

“We have no water.”

These four words will strike fear into the heart of any home, condo, or business owner. But it’s especially bad when your wife texts you this, and she’s home with your five children, and she’s trying to get everything ready for your family to leave on vacation.

The water always goes out at the worst possible time. And when the water stops flowing, life itself seems to stop.

Everyone drops whatever they were happily doing and immediately shifts into panic/survival mode. Kids start chugging all the juice and milk in the fridge. Everyone suddenly needs a shower but of course can not take a shower. Tempers flare. And then, inevitably, someone forgets that we’ve only got “one flush” in the toilet tank.

While urbanites may be accustomed to the typically uninterrupted flow of city-supplied water, most folks who live at — or have a home on the shores of — Lake of the Ozarks have felt that sense of dread when the well pump stops working. Those who haven’t yet, will soon.

So when, only a couple of hours after I called B&B Waterworks (based in Linn Creek), their truck rolled into my driveway, an overwhelming sense of relief arrived with it. The water would soon be flowing again.

The rest of the story…

Phillip Beffa, whose family owns the company and has been servicing wells in the Lake area for decades, quickly clambered down into my (recently renovated) well house pit, and within a few minutes, he had bad news: “We’re gonna have to pull the pump.”

But first, he needed to find a route to my well house with his pump truck.

PRO TIP: If you’re drilling a well, drill it somewhere that a pump truck can actually access it in the future. Lesson learned!

After a little tree trimming, Phillip handily maneuvered the pump truck back to my well house and started pulling the pipe. I’ll spare you all the gritty details: the culprit was a faulty wire. We opted to replace the decades-old pump too, while we had it out. My wife — who had been trying earnestly not to panic at the thought of no water for the rest of the day — nearly fainted with relief when I told her the water would be back on in time for the kids’ evening baths.

Having loathed and battled that well house for long enough (almost died in there once: that’s another story), I asked Phillip if he could convert my well to a pit-less system.

Sure, he said.

When we returned from vacation a week and a half later, the job was done, and done with excellence. Phillip had even cleaned up what had formerly been a very sketchy wiring situation in the now-retired well house. No longer a well house, this little out-building now had an overhead light with a switch and an outlet. I hadn’t even mentioned that, but Phillip knew what it needed and took care of it.

A happy customer? You bet. And I’m in a long line of them: folks whose panic ended when B&B Waterworks arrived to take care of the job.
