Well Drilling
Professional Well Drilling Across Northern Indiana
Klutz Well Drilling has drilled water wells for homes, farms, and businesses across northern Indiana for six generations. From our shop in North Manchester, we serve Wabash, Allen, Whitley, Huntington, and surrounding counties — wherever glacial geology, depth swings, and local aquifers demand a driller who knows the ground.
Whether you need a household well for a new build, a high-volume agricultural supply, or an industrial system sized for daily production, we handle the full project: site evaluation, drilling and casing, pump installation, and pressure-system setup. Most residential wells in our service area land between 80 and 300 feet, and a standard home project typically wraps within one to two days once conditions allow.

Northern Indiana Geology
Glacial sand-and-gravel, outwash, and bedrock contacts all behave differently under a bit. We research local well logs and soil conditions before we spud so depth and casing match what your property actually needs.
Free Site Evaluation
Every project starts with a walk of your property and an honest depth estimate — no flat-rate guessing, no pressure to sign the same day.
Turnkey Water Systems
Drilling is only half the job. We install casing, grouting, pumps, pressure tanks, and controls so you have water at the tap — not just a hole in the ground.
Six Generations Local
Family-owned since 1914 and based in North Manchester. The crew that answers your call is the crew that shows up on your property.
How Well Drilling Works
Site Evaluation
We review property layout, setbacks, soil type, and water demand — then check local well logs to estimate depth before any equipment arrives.
Drilling & Casing
Our crew drills to the target aquifer, sets steel or PVC casing, and grouts the annular space to Indiana code so surface water stays out of your supply.
Pump & Pressure System
We size and install the submersible pump, drop pipe, pressure tank, and controls matched to your depth and daily gallons-per-minute needs.
Testing & Handoff
We verify flow rate, check pressure build, walk you through the new system, and leave you with a well ready for everyday use.
When to Consider a New Well
- You are building a new home, barn, or commercial structure where municipal water is unavailable or impractical
- An existing well has collapsed, lost yield, or failed inspection and repair is no longer economical
- You need a dedicated high-capacity source for irrigation, livestock watering, or industrial process water
- A real estate closing or lender requires a verified private water source before move-in
- You are upgrading from a shared, seasonal, or unreliable supply and want your own dependable well

Contact UsWell Drilling Questions
- How deep will my well be drilled?
- Depth varies based on your location, soil composition, and local water table. In our service area across northern Indiana, most residential wells range from 80 to 300 feet. During your free site evaluation, we'll research local well logs and assess your property to give you a reliable depth estimate before any drilling begins.
- How long does the well drilling process take?
- A standard residential well can typically be drilled and the pump system installed within one to two days, weather and soil conditions permitting. More complex projects — such as deeper wells or difficult terrain — may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
- How much does a new well cost?
- Well drilling costs depend on depth, casing material, pump system, and site conditions. Because every property is different, we don't publish flat-rate prices. What we do offer is a free, no-obligation estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Give us a call or fill out our contact form and we'll get you a transparent quote.
- Do you service existing wells and pumps, or only drill new ones?
- We do both. In addition to drilling new wells, we repair and replace submersible and jet pumps, pressure tanks, pressure switches, and water lines. We also perform well chlorination and well inspections — whether you're buying a property or just want peace of mind about your current system.
