Expert Well Drilling in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio
Rotary well drilling for new 5-inch to 8-inch water wells on homes, farms, and commercial properties across Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio since 1945.
Wiley Well Drilling has done well drilling for homes, farms, and businesses across Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio since April 1945, working out of our office in Union City. Drilling wells is the main thing we do. We specialize in rotary well drilling and are capable of installing 5-inch to 8-inch diameter wells, whether that is a first water well installation on new ground or a replacement for one that gave out.
Need the water to do more than fill a glass? We drill for farm irrigation too, and once the well is in, our water well services keep it working. Call us at (765) 584-8648 for a free estimate, and you will have a quotation within 24 hours.
Common situations
When a Property Needs a New Well Drilled
Most new wells start one of three ways. Someone is building out past where city water reaches. An old well has quit keeping up, or the water has gone bad and a repair will not fix it. Or a farm needs volume for irrigation that the house well was never built for.
Not sure which camp you are in? Start with a look at the old well. Sometimes a repair or a new pump buys years, and we will tell you if that is the case before anyone talks about drilling.
Every property type

We drill new and replacement wells for:
- Homes
- Farms & Agricultural Land
- Commercial Properties
- Rural Developments

Household water, crop irrigation, or a commercial supply. The well gets built for the job it has to do, and our well cleaning and inspection work keeps it going for decades.
How we drill
How We Pick the Spot and Drill the Well
We start with the site. Placement depends on underground water sources, soil conditions, and access for the rig. Your preferences count, but the ground gets a vote. Then we drill with rotary equipment down to a productive water source.
Spring thaw turns plenty of farm lanes around here to mud, so we will ask how a rig gets back to the spot before we put you on the schedule.
What to Expect on Drilling Day and After
Most wells are finished in two to four days, depending on soil type, depth, and weather. Once the hole is drilled, we set the well pump and tank, hook up the pressure system, and check flow before we leave. After that, a well should be inspected at least once a year.
Well Drilling Cost and How We Quote It
We do not publish prices, and we will not guess at the cost to drill a well over the phone. Depth, diameter, ground conditions, and what goes on top of the well all move the number. People often ask about well drilling cost per foot, but a per-foot rate only tells part of the story once the pump and tank are added. What you get from us is a free estimate and a quotation within 24 hours.

Drilling FAQs
Well Drilling Questions
How Long Does Well Drilling Usually Take?
Most wells are finished in two to four days. Soil type, depth, and weather set the timeline, and we keep you posted along the way.
How Deep Should a Well Be?
It depends on where the water-bearing ground sits under your property and how much water you need. We set the depth after looking at the site, and that depth is the biggest single factor in the price.
Can I Choose the Location of My Well?
We help you pick it. Your preferences count, but placement depends on underground water sources, soil conditions, and access for the rig, so we look at the land before settling on a spot.
What Kind of Maintenance Does a New Well Need?
A well should be inspected at least once a year. We check water quality, pump performance, and overall system health, which helps you avoid costly repairs later.
Why Hire a Professional Well Drilling Contractor?
A professional handles permits, equipment, and testing, and builds the well to meet safety standards and state regulations. Wiley Well Drilling has been doing exactly that since 1945.
