Throwback to 2022!

We had the privilege of drilling a community well for the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in Sequim, WA. A proud moment for the TPD team, helping tap into Washington’s aquifers to bring clean, reliable water where it’s needed most. 🚰

Behind the scenes of the work we love, serving the communities we care about.

We are so proud to serve this community and for so many years!

Not only do we get the opportunity to provide fresh, clean water to local residences...but we also get to partner with businesses, ensure projects are safely implemented, and help expand and develop research into sustainable energy.

Throwback to our first night sail during Race to Alaska 2023 ⛵️

🌅 This moment still feels fresh, fluky winds, calm seas, and the glow of sunset as Team Bonesaw settled in for the night.

We dodged some big cargo ships, caught a few hours of sleep, and woke up to slow sailing and breakfast on deck. Not fast, but unforgettable. 💙

Hard to believe this was two years ago.

Throwback to our expert welder, Rob Schubach, installing a pitless adapter on a well at Holyrood Cemetery.

This clever piece of equipment connects the pump’s discharge pipe to the facility’s water line all underground. Translation? The pump can be serviced without digging it up. We call that a win. What about you?

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! Today we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the spirit of America. Established in 1776 and still going strong. Wishing you a joyful day filled with pride, fireworks, and time well spent with loved ones. 💥🦅

Just your average day at Tacoma Pump & Drilling, fire going, water flowing, and the rig doing what it does best. 🔥💦

We may have shared this one last year, but some setups are worth the encore. When the elements align, you know you’re in good hands.

Throwback to one of our favorite adventures — Race to Alaska, 2023.

Team Bonesaw gave it their all and made it a third of the way before calling it in at Port McNeill, BC. It was a wild, unforgettable ride and we couldn’t be prouder of the grit, teamwork, and spirit they showed along the way.

We still talk about the laughs, the challenges, and the dream of a more comfortable Jahmbo 2.0 for next time.

Throwback to when we definitely could’ve landed a role on “Dirty Jobs” 🤣🛠️

No matter how messy it gets—we get the job done.

Hello Monday. They said it’d be just a few feet of pipe… but here we are, staring down what feels like a few football fields’ worth. Let’s get to work 💪

How much drill rod does it take to drill a well? Depends on how deep we need to go to reach water. But the short answer is...a lot!

The average well is between 100 and 300 feet deep 💪

What lies beneath? 🪨✨ You never truly know until the bit hits the ground. Core samples like this one give us a clear look into the geology below—each fracture and layer tells a story. It’s one of the most exciting parts of drilling: uncovering the unseen.
