It took, on average, up to a week and two strong men to get a good well back in the 1890’s when Raleigh Ramsby started Ramsby Drilling in Northern Michigan. A particularly difficult well job could take almost all summer!  

Today, advanced technology and equipment are used by the fifth generation of Ramsby well drillers.  It enables us to drill as many as 200 residential wells per year. Whether you have residential or commercial water well needs, our experienced technicians are just a phone call away, including 24-hour emergency services.

Your water well needs are our top priority, so if it’s important to you, it’s important to us!

Drilling water wells in northern Michigan is significant due to the region’s reliance on groundwater for residential, agricultural, and commercial use, especially in rural areas without municipal water systems. The area’s glacial geology creates diverse subsurface conditions, requiring careful planning to reach clean, reliable aquifers. Additionally, environmental sensitivity—proximity to the Great Lakes, wetlands, and protected watersheds—makes proper well construction and regulation essential to preserving water quality and preventing contamination. With our experience, we can handle any special situation that arises while drilling northern Michigan!
