Geothermal systems offer long-term energy savings and sustainable climate control by using the Earth’s constant underground temperature. In winter, heat is drawn from the ground; in summer, it’s returned—providing year-round efficiency without fossil fuels. Ideal for schools, municipal buildings, and commercial facilities, these systems reduce operating costs and support green initiatives. Traut Companies is an IGSHPA-accredited installer with deep experience in both new construction and retrofits. We deliver turnkey geothermal solutions that meet performance, budget, and sustainability goals.

From high-capacity municipal wells to small commercial water systems, Traut Companies provides expert pump service to keep your operations running smoothly. We service and install all sizes and types of pumps, including vertical turbine, submersible, and line shaft models. Whether you need routine maintenance, emergency repair, or a complete system upgrade, our expert technicians deliver fast, reliable solutions that minimize downtime and protect your investment. With decades of experience in municipal infrastructure and commercial water systems, Traut is your trusted partner for efficient, long-lasting pump performance.

Service you can count on—big or small.

Traut Companies delivers advanced Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) solutions tailored for municipal and commercial clients. VFD technology allows precise control of motor speed and torque, resulting in more efficient pumping, reduced energy use, and lower long-term operating costs. Ideal for public utilities, infrastructure projects, and large-scale commercial systems, a VFD controlled pumping system adapts to varying ground conditions while minimizing wear on equipment. This means fewer disruptions, smoother performance, and a smarter investment for your water system needs. Trust Traut to bring innovation, efficiency, and reliability to your next municipal or commercial water pumping system project.

Traut Companies offers advanced Downhole Geophysical Data Logging to provide a magnitude of geological data parameters. We also offer Well Video Inspections to give you a clear, high-resolution view of the well casing and borehole conditions—so you can identify issues and make informed decisions with confidence. 

Our experienced technicians deploy robust camera systems capable of capturing real-time visual data inside well casings, screens, & open boreholes. 

With multiple cable winch options included with one mobilization, an array of geophysical logging tools can be selected to gather your required data. Traut Companies owns multiple geophysical tools with the ability to rent any specific tool needed for your project.

The benefits for your environmental project include: 

• Accurate detection of well casing damage or deformation
• Precise verification of packer seal locations
• Seamless documentation of depth-specific conditions
• Accurately identify geological formation transition depths
• Record borehole size measurements with fracture identification
• Measure fluid conductivity and temperature to identify fluid flow in the borehole
