Our Family Legacy: Three Generations of Well Drilling Excellence
Kell Well Drilling isn’t just a business; it’s a three-generation family legacy built on a simple, powerful promise.
Our story began in 1944 when Jacob Frederick “Jake” Kell started serving local homeowners and farmers, bringing reliable water systems to the community. Jake’s unwavering philosophy—“Do the job right the first time, every time”—became the bedrock of our company.
His son, Fred, proudly carried on this tradition, formally incorporating the business as an S Corporation in 1972. Today, we continue to honor Jake’s founding principles. Few companies can claim over 80 years of specialized expertise. We’ve drilled through decades of changing technology, treating every project with the precision, care, and hands-on experience our family is known for.
At Kell Well Drilling, our name is our bond, and our work is the continuation of our legacy. When you choose us, you’re choosing a water system built to last.
