About
About Our Well Drilling Company in Comstock Park & West Michigan
Family owned, owner-operated, fully licensed, bonded and insured — with EGLE and ATF certifications.
Over 135 years in business, and the work has not fundamentally changed: find the water, case the hole properly, and make sure it still runs in twenty years.
Wahlfield Drilling Co is a family owned business that has been in operation for over 135 years (since 1891), incorporated as Wahlfield Drilling Co. Inc. in 1991. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured company, and we are proud to have been one of the founding members of the Michigan Well Driller’s Association in 1929.
We service and drill water wells in our surrounding areas. We specialize in pumps, pressure tanks, constant pressure (VFD) systems, well chlorinations, and inspections; and service residential, commercial, and irrigation wells.
What has kept the phone ringing since 1891 is simple: you speak with the owner, the estimate is free and in writing within 24 hours, and the labor is guaranteed for a year. Pumps and tanks carry five-year manufacturer warranties.

From the same day in 1915. Charles and Ed Wahlfield are operating a cathead casing driver.

The horse would walk in a circle, stepping over the cathead drive shaft each time it passed, to provide power to the cathead draw works.
