About Us
Innis Well Drilling, LLC was established in 1997 with a cable tool drilling rig and a small S-10 pickup. Thanks to a strong customer base and word of mouth, we have grown to include a rotary drill rig, larger service truck, downhole video camera, under-reamer drilling system, and many other tools to help us better serve you. As a small business, we are able to provide attention to detail, quality control, and customer satisfaction that larger companies can not, while staying competitive with pricing and offering a wide array of services.

Tools of the Trade
Drilling Rig
Our Drilling Rig is a 1972 Chigaco Pneumatic 670 capable of compressing 750 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) to a maximimum pressure of 350 pounds per square inch (PSI), allowing us to drill up to 1,200 feet to find water. The rig is mounted on a 1995 Ford L9000 with fully locking rear differentials for better off road traction.
Service Truck
Our service truck is a 2002 GMC 2500 with a 6.6 liter diesel engine and an Allison transmission. It is able to haul water, casing, tools, blocking, and whatever else is necessary to complete the job at hand. With the tool box body on the back of the truck, we always have our tools on hand, so we are equipped to handle pumps, filtration systems, geothermal heat systems and drilling all at a moments notice.
UnderReamer
In unstable formations, standard drilling techniques are insufficient for keeping the hole from caving in. In these situations, we use our underreamer system, which drives the casing and drills at the same time. This ensures a clean hole and a properly sealed well.
Underwater Video Camera
Our video camera is especially handy when evaluating a well that needs repair. By looking down the hole we are able to identify obstructions and cave-ins, improperly sealed casing, and lack of flow in water-bearing fractures to determine the best repair option.
