Three generations, one problem. Water in the hole.
Founded by Jack Leroy, an inventor and blasting industry veteran who needed a reliable way to remove water and lower the water table on a shot quickly and efficiently.
Led by Troy Coburn for more than two decades, continuing to build and support Dryrite's borehole dewatering systems.
Passed to Tyler Lueckfeld, who is carrying Dryrite forward with new products, updated systems, and the next generation of Jet Nozzle Technology.
Same purpose-built engineering, for the people who load the holes.
A simple system with minimal moving parts. Non-ferrous construction, no electrical equipment down the hole, and an air-driven design with very little to go wrong on a jobsite that is hard on equipment.
Some of our original 1988 pumps are still running today.
