Herr Well Drilling, Inc. serves West Allis and Milwaukee County as a licensed well drilling contractor with more than sixty years of experience in southeastern Wisconsin . Water well drilling in West Allis and the surrounding urban and suburban communities requires a different kind of attention — tighter lot conditions, closer proximity to potential contamination sources, and properties that often have limited documentation on existing systems.
We navigate all of it. Our family has been doing this work in this region since 1964.
Private wells in more urban settings like West Allis are less common than in rural Waukesha County, but they exist — on older properties, in areas outside full municipal service coverage, and on commercial parcels with specific water needs. Our well drilling services in this area also extend to neighboring communities where rural-to-suburban transition zones create a meaningful private well population. Our crews regularly handle well drilling company serving Metro Milwaukee.
We provide water well drilling, pump replacement , pressure system service , water quality testing , and well abandonment. Where a full new well isn't the need, we can assess, service, and advise on existing systems. As a well drilling company with history across both Waukesha and Milwaukee counties, we understand the regulatory and geological nuances on both sides of the county line.
Residential well drilling in West Allis and surrounding Milwaukee County communities requires careful site evaluation—setback compliance, lot configuration, and geological assessment all matter before a drilling plan is committed to. We do that work upfront, not mid-project. Ask us about farm well drilling as well.
Commercial well drilling in this area serves industrial properties, commercial facilities, and businesses with process water needs that municipal supply alone may not efficiently serve. We engineer commercial wells to operational specifications with yield testing and full production documentation. Many homeowners in the area also ask about our directional drilling services.
High-capacity well installation in Milwaukee County serves industrial and commercial operations with significant water demand. These projects require detailed engineering and yield confirmation before the system is finalized. We've built these systems in this region and understand the additional regulatory review they sometimes require.
Urban and suburban geology in Milwaukee County sometimes requires deep well drilling to reach aquifers below zones of historical contamination. This is not a situation for guesswork. Deep well drilling in these settings demands knowledge of local formation depths, contamination records, and regulatory requirements. This is usually where people run into problems with contractors unfamiliar with urban site conditions. Explore our well development services for more details.

West Allis is largely served by municipal water, but older properties and parcels on the municipal fringe occasionally have private wells — either as the primary supply or as legacy systems that need to be properly abandoned. We handle both scenarios.
Wisconsin law requires that unused wells be filled and sealed to DNR specifications to prevent surface water from contaminating the groundwater supply. The process involves filling the casing with grout from the bottom up and filing a completion report with the DNR. Leaving an old well unsealed is both a regulatory violation and a contamination risk.
Yes. Pre-purchase well inspections are a service we provide. We assess the condition of the well, the pump and the pressure system and can coordinate water quality testing. The results give buyers a clear picture of what they're inheriting before closing.
Site history matters. We review available contamination records and design the well to minimize exposure risk—typically by targeting deeper bedrock aquifers and ensuring the casing is properly sealed through potentially compromised shallow formations.
Yes. Pump replacement, pressure tank service, and system diagnostics are services we provide independent of new well drilling. If your pump is failing or your pressure is inconsistent, a service call is the right first step.
We handle the full range of well work in West Allis — drilling, development, pumps, service, and repair.
