Reynolds Well Drilling provides water well drilling, water system installation and service, water well abandonment, test drilling and direct push services. We work with homeowners as well as engineering firms, environmental consultants, developers and other professional clients throughout Illinois.

A new well may be needed when building a home outside a municipal water service area, developing a property, replacing an existing well or establishing a private groundwater source. The appropriate approach depends on the property, its expected water needs and local subsurface conditions.

The required depth cannot be guaranteed before drilling. Groundwater and geological conditions can vary from one property to another, even within the same community. Our team uses its knowledge of Illinois geology and drilling experience to approach each project according to the conditions encountered.

A private well system may include the well, pump, pressure tank, controls, piping and other components that move water from below the surface into the home. These components must work together to provide dependable water flow and pressure.

Changes in water pressure can have several potential causes, including the pump, pressure tank, controls, piping or the well itself. Because the symptoms do not always reveal the source of the problem, the well and water system may need to be evaluated together.

Water well abandonment is the process of properly closing a well that is no longer used. An unused well should not simply be covered or left in place because it can create a pathway into the subsurface. Proper abandonment helps protect groundwater and addresses the well according to applicable requirements.

Well abandonment may be necessary when a well has been replaced, a property has connected to another water source, an old well is discovered during construction or an existing well is no longer needed. Reynolds Well Drilling can evaluate the situation and explain the appropriate next steps.

Test drilling is used to investigate conditions below the surface. It may help engineering, environmental or development professionals obtain soil samples, geological information, groundwater information or other data needed to evaluate a site.

Direct push uses specialized equipment to advance tooling into the ground without conventional rotary drilling. Depending on the soil conditions and project requirements, it may be used for environmental investigations, soil sampling, groundwater-related work and subsurface characterization.

The appropriate method depends on the information being collected, the intended sampling method, the required depth, site access and subsurface conditions. Contact Reynolds Well Drilling with the project scope so our team can discuss which capabilities align with the work.

No. Reynolds Well Drilling serves residential property owners and commercial clients. Our specialized drilling capabilities support engineering firms, environmental consultants, developers, construction professionals and others who need access to or information about subsurface conditions.

Provide the property or project location, the service you believe you need and a brief description of the situation. Commercial clients should also share available scope documents, anticipated depths, access considerations, scheduling requirements and other relevant project specifications.

Call Reynolds Well Drilling at 217-629-7860 or contact us through the website. Tell us what you are trying to accomplish, where the project is located and what you already know about the property or site. Our team can then help identify an appropriate next step.
