Herr Well Drilling, Inc.—fifth-generation well drilling for Metro Milwaukee and Southeast Wisconsin since 1964.
Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Closed Saturday & Sunday
Our shop sits on Herr Road in Dousman, and we work a roughly 50-mile radius around it across the Milwaukee–Waukesha metro and the Lake Country communities in between. That includes Oconomowoc, Hartland, Pewaukee, Wales, Waukesha, Brookfield, New Berlin, West Allis, Muskego, Watertown and Milwaukee, along with the unincorporated townships around them where private wells are the norm rather than the exception.
We are a Monday-through-Friday shop, not a 24-hour emergency service. Calls are returned within 24 hours and written estimates go out within 24 to 48 hours. If you are out of water, call the office first thing in the morning — that is when we schedule the day’s service runs, and the earlier we hear from you the better the odds of getting a truck to you the same week.
Useful details to have ready when you call: the property address, the approximate age of the well, whether the pump is submersible or a jet pump, and what you are seeing — no water at all, pressure that drops off, air spitting at the taps, or sand and grit in the fixtures. It saves a diagnostic trip and lets us quote more accurately.
Not sure which service you need? Describe the problem — no water, falling pressure, a new build with no well, a farm expansion — and we will tell you which of these it falls under and what an estimate involves.
New residential, agricultural, and commercial wells drilled to suit Southeast Wisconsin geology — from the limestone of the Kettle Moraine to the sand aquifers across Waukesha County.
High-capacity wells built for sustained demand from dairy operations, irrigated fields, and greenhouse complexes, and designed to tie into existing livestock and irrigation infrastructure.
Development and rehabilitation for older wells losing flow or pressure. Declining performance from mineral buildup or formation change often does not call for a replacement well.
Horizontal and angled drilling for sites where rock, wetlands, buried utilities, finished driveways, or landscaping make a conventional vertical approach impractical.
Pump failure, pressure loss, water quality changes, aging equipment, and routine inspections for residential, agricultural, and commercial well systems.
