Who We Are
Valley Drilling Co is a family-owned septic and drilling contractor founded in 1950 and based in Cherry Valley, California. For three generations, the same family has installed, pumped, repaired, and engineered on-site wastewater systems for homeowners, builders, and businesses throughout Southern California — with Yucaipa and Redlands as our home ground.
We operate alongside our sister company, Payless 4 Plumbing — plumbing, septic, and drilling under one family name, with the same crews and the same standards.

Why People Choose Us
We answer the phone seven days a week — a real person, not a call center. We give straight answers and fair prices, pull the permits ourselves, and meet the inspector so our customers don't have to. Because our engineering is in-house, systems are sized correctly the first time and pass county review without back-and-forth.
