What's Involved in Water Well Drilling?
Every water well drilling project follows the same basic process, though the specifics vary by site geology and county permitting requirements:
- Site consultation and assessment of property layout and local aquifer geology.
- Permit filing with your county health department under Illinois IDPH requirements.
- Rotary drilling to the appropriate depth for the aquifer formation.
- Steel or PVC casing installation and annular space grouting to seal out surface contaminants.
- Pump and pressure system installation and final water testing.
We handle every step in-house, from the initial site visit through final water testing, so you're working with one team rather than coordinating multiple contractors.

Types of Wells We Drill
K & K Well Drilling installs drilled rotary wells for both residential and commercial properties, sizing each well to the property's expected water demand and local aquifer yield. We also perform well deepening for existing systems with diminished output, and well abandonment and sealing for old or non-functioning wells, which Illinois requires to be done to code to protect groundwater quality. Whatever the well type, our drillers evaluate each site individually rather than applying a one-size approach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Well Drilling
What permits are required for well drilling in Illinois?
Illinois law requires a well construction permit before any new well is drilled or an existing well is deepened, issued by the county health department where the property is located, Will, Kane, Kendall, DuPage, and Grundy counties each administer their own process under Illinois IDPH oversight. K & K Well Drilling handles the permit filing on your behalf as part of every project, regardless of which county your property falls in.
How long does the well drilling process take?
A typical residential well takes one to two days to drill, though total project time also depends on permit processing time with your county health department and any site preparation needed. Deeper wells or properties with more complex local geology can take longer. We schedule the pump and pressure system installation as part of the same project timeline whenever possible, so you're not left waiting on a second visit.
How much does well drilling cost?
Well drilling costs depend on depth, casing requirements, and site accessibility, which vary by local aquifer geology across our service area. Most residential wells run several thousand dollars start to finish, while commercial or agricultural wells vary based on expected yield and use. We provide a written estimate after an on-site assessment.
What types of wells does K & K Well Drilling install?
We install drilled rotary wells for both residential and commercial properties, using steel or PVC casing depending on site geology, and we handle well deepening for existing systems with reduced yield. We also perform well abandonment and sealing for old or non-functioning wells, which Illinois requires to be done to code to protect groundwater. Our technicians assess each site individually to recommend the right well type and depth.
