Third-generation family drillers serving Wisconsin since 1947. 30,000+ wells drilled, 5,000+ customers, 10 rigs on the road every day — one crew that shows up on time and gets it right the first time.
Sam's Well Drilling has been putting Wisconsin families and farms on their own clean water since 1947. What started as one rig is now ten — running year-round, including winters — without losing the thing that built the business: a family that answers the phone and shows up when they say they will.
Every well is permitted, logged, and tested before we leave — whether it's a homeowner's first well, an irrigation well for a 400-acre farm, or a municipal project. Member of the Wisconsin Water Well Association and the National Ground Water Association.
Residential, farm, or municipal — if it needs a well, a pump, or a water test, we've likely already drilled one just like it somewhere in Wisconsin.
New water wells for homes, complete with pump installation. Most residential jobs finished in 1–2 days.
High-capacity wells for farms, golf courses, and nurseries, sized to the acreage and the season.
Bacteria, chemical, and contaminant testing so you know exactly what's coming out of the ground before you drink it.
For sites where a straight vertical bore isn't an option — utility crossings, tight lots, protected land.
We handle the paperwork with your county and the DNR before the rig ever shows up.
Rig time and drilling equipment available for qualified contractors and municipal crews.
A complete residential well — drilling, casing, and pump installation — runs $8,000 to $15,000 depending on depth and site conditions. We quote it up front, in writing, before the rig arrives.

Five thousand Wisconsin customers and counting. Here's what a few of them had to say.
"Professional from the first call to the final test. They were efficient and the pricing was more than reasonable for the work involved."
"Ten rigs and they still feel like a family outfit. Showed up when they said, drilled clean, left the site tidy."
"Straightforward quote, no pressure, and the well's been running perfectly since. Would call them again without thinking twice."
Ten rigs reach most of the state within a two-hour radius — Madison and Milwaukee within one hour — plus larger projects across the state line.
