Herr Well Drilling, Inc. has served Waukesha as a trusted well drilling contractor for over sixty years. Our family started drilling wells in this county in 1964, and Waukesha — as the county seat and one of the region's largest communities — has been part of our territory through every generation. Water well drilling here requires navigating a range of property types, zoning conditions, and geological variables that only experience handles well.
We handle it. Every part of it.
Waukesha County's well drilling needs span a wide range—older rural properties on private water, agricultural operations, new residential construction on the county's outer edges, and commercial developments that need engineered water systems. Our well drilling services cover all of it under one roof. We also provide family-owned well drilling company.

Residential well drilling in Waukesha varies considerably depending on the neighborhood and land use history of the parcel. Some properties in more rural sections of the county access productive aquifers at moderate depth. Others require deeper drilling to get past contaminated or low-yield formations. We assess each site individually and recommend accordingly—not based on what's easiest, but on what will perform.
Waukesha's commercial and light industrial base creates steady demand for commercial well drilling. Facilities that need process water, irrigation systems , or backup water supply for operations require wells engineered for sustained use. We design to actual operational demand, size the casing and pump correctly, and document yield before we consider the project complete. Our crews regularly handle HDD drilling services.
High-capacity well installation serves the higher end of the demand spectrum — large agricultural operations, industrial water supply, and multi-structure developments with significant daily volume needs. These projects involve detailed yield testing, pump engineering, and flow documentation that goes beyond the scope of standard residential work. We've built these systems in Waukesha County for decades.
Certain parcels in the Waukesha area require deep well drilling to reach a clean formation. This is usually where people run into problems with contractors who lack the equipment or geological knowledge to make informed decisions at depth. We go as deep as the geology requires, and we've been doing it here long enough to know what to expect. Ask us about well inspection and development as well.

Many Waukesha properties are on municipal water, but the surrounding townships and rural areas of Waukesha County rely on private wells. If your property is outside the municipal service area, a private well is your water supply. We serve those properties extensively.
Age, declining yield, repeated equipment failures, and water quality changes are all indicators. A vehicle well over 30 to 40 years old showing multiple issues is often a replacement candidate rather than a repair project. We assess the situation and give you an honest recommendation.
Waukesha County has experienced groundwater management attention in recent years due to regional demand. Bedrock wells generally provide more stable yield than shallow sand wells. This is one reason we recommend drilling to the productive bedrock aquifer whenever site conditions allow.
Wisconsin law requires that any well no longer in use be properly abandoned—meaning it's filled and sealed to DNR specifications to prevent surface water from entering the aquifer. We handle abandonment for old residential wells, agricultural wells, and monitoring wells.
Yes, and we recommend coordinating early. Drilling before the foundation goes in and the site gets congested is significantly easier and faster. We work with builders and landowners to sequence the well into the construction schedule.
