DRILLING MICHIGAN'S WELLS FOR OVER 25 YEARS
Richard Layman, Jr., a fourth-generation well driller, began his career working alongside his father, Richard Layman, Sr., at B.W. Layman & Sons Well Drilling. After graduating from high school, Richard relocated to Northeastern Michigan, where he married and in 1989, founded Pure Water Well. Richard has been dedicated to serving the Northern Michigan community's well and water needs ever since.
CREATING A LEGACY
Seeing the Layman children working diligently at the family business was a common sight. Richard’s daughter, Rachar, was especially keen to learn from her father and grandfather, eagerly absorbing everything about well drilling. By age 11, she earned her first paycheck and became an active employee. Well-drilling was in her blood, and by 16, Rachar had stepped up to run jobs, becoming the fifth generation in her family involved in the business.
​
In 2009, the family expanded further when Rachar married Jason, who developed a strong interest in well drilling. After completing his work-study, Jason became a licensed well driller in 2012, playing a significant role in the business operations at Pure Water Well.
​
Nowadays, it's common to see Rachar and Jason’s children following closely behind their parents, representing the up-and-coming sixth generation of well-drillers. They are keen observers, learning the family business operations at a young age. While they are still quite young, they cherish spending time with their grandparents and parents, embracing their family's legacy.
WORKING FOR OUR SAFE GROUND WATER
Richard is deeply committed to ongoing education and excellence in his field, surpassing state requirements for drilling registration. As a licensed National Ground Water Well Driller, he has achieved Master Ground Water Contractor Certification through the NGWA, a distinction held by only a few well drillers in Michigan.
Richard has also significantly contributed to the Michigan Ground Water Association, serving as Vice President for two years before becoming President from 2013 to 2016. In this role, he collaborated with legislators, the DEQ, DHD, and well drillers statewide, enhancing knowledge and cooperation across the industry. For customers, this means Richard is dedicated to finding solutions to challenging projects, ensuring the safety of your groundwater for future generations.
Jason is also on the path to achieving his Master’s Certification through the National Ground Water Association. At Pure Water Well, we prioritize education and the application of the most current, skilled practices for safe well drilling.
