Commercial Well Drilling Service in West Allis, WI
Commercial well drilling West Allis property owners need today is often about the wells the old factories left behind. This was Allis-Chalmers country, with plants along Greenfield Avenue that used groundwater for decades. As those lots get redeveloped, old wells turn up and have to be dealt with. Herr Well Drilling has handled that work, and new commercial wells, since 1964.
We return calls within 24 hours and send quotes within 48, Monday through Friday.
Old Industrial Wells on West Allis Redevelopment Sites
West Allis businesses are mostly on municipal water now. But a former plant, shop or rail yard may still have a well under a floor slab or in a pit nobody has opened in years. Before a site changes hands or a new building goes up, those wells need to be found, pulled and sealed under state rules.
That sealing is well abandonment: equipment removed, the borehole disinfected and filled bottom to top with grout or bentonite, and the state report filed. On an old industrial well it can mean pulling a lot of pipe. A commercial well drilling near me search from a West Allis job site will find us ready for it.
New Commercial Wells and Pump Work on West Allis Lots
Some properties still want their own water for process, cooling or irrigation. Commercial water well drilling for those jobs means a well 8 to 24 inches across, drilled to match daily demand. Commercial well drilling West Allis projects start with state records for nearby wells, and there are a lot of old records here. Our West Allis well drilling contractor page covers the process.
Wells that can pump over 100,000 gallons a day need DNR approval as high capacity well installation. For industrial well drilling on a crowded city lot, our West Allis directional drilling crew can run lines under paving and rail spurs without trenching.

Commercial well pump installation is sized to the tested yield and the peak demand. Our West Allis pump installation work covers new and replacement pumps.
Commercial well pump repair handles controls, wiring, switches and motors. We work weekdays 8 to 5 and are not a 24-hour shop, so emergency pump repair goes best early in the day.
Inspecting and Restoring West Allis Commercial Wells
A commercial well inspection checks casing, cap, pump, controls and storage, and tells a buyer or lender whether an existing well is worth keeping. Routine work runs through West Allis well service and repair.
If a well is sound but slow, well rehabilitation can recover flow lost to scale and sediment, as our West Allis well development page explains.
