Larson Well Co. drills, installs, and repairs residential, commercial, and agricultural water wells across Iowa — backed by four generations of family expertise.
Finding clean, dependable water starts with a properly drilled and constructed well. Larson Well Co. has drilled water wells across Central Iowa for four generations, giving us an intimate understanding of local aquifers, glacial till, and bedrock conditions that out-of-state contractors simply don’t have.
Whether you need a new well for a home, a high-capacity well for a farm operation, or emergency repair on an existing well, our licensed crews handle every step — permitting, drilling, casing, grouting, pump installation, and water testing — so your well is safe, code-compliant, and built to last for decades.
We serve homeowners, acreages, farms, and commercial properties throughout Iowa, including Roland, Ames, Ankeny, Des Moines, Marshalltown, Boone, Nevada, Story City, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Fort Dodge, and Mason City.

Common Questions
Cost depends on well depth, casing type, geology, and pump selection. Because ground conditions vary widely across Iowa, Larson Well Co. provides a free on-site estimate tailored to your specific property before any drilling begins.
Depth depends on your region’s aquifer and geology. Some Central Iowa wells reach usable water in under 100 feet, while others require deeper drilling through bedrock. A site evaluation gives you an accurate estimate for your property.
