Well Pump Repair

C&B Pump Service was established in the 1960’s by Cliff Birch, hence the name C&B Pump Service. Cliff worked out of our Leonidas location repairing water pump off all kinds. He was known for his knowledge of all things to do with water pump and friendly conversations. Cliff would fix just about anything out of his shop. After 3 decades of hard work and establishing a well (pun intended) known business Cliff and his wife decided to sell the business to his Son-In-Law and daughter. C&B Pump Service expanded the business to provide services not only out of our shop but also in the field at customers houses. This in home service would allow the availability to not only service the pump but also the well and tank which are crucial components.
