Kraai Well Drilling was established in 1966 By Bernie Kraai. Bernie started as a union pipe fitter and worked for a local well driller in Martin prior to becoming licensed in April of 1966, license #0119. Bernie specialized in service/repair work in addition to drilling 4” cable tool style wells.

Ronald and Denise Kraai started there own business in 1976. They lived in Wayland and worked in the surrounding areas including Hopkins, Dorr, and Martin. Ron passed his state well drilling license exam in May of 1976, license #1601. A reputation of honesty and integrity was soon established by Ronald in the area as he often worked sun up to sun down.

Ron and Denise relocated the business from Wayland to current location near Gun Lake in 1985. By this time Ron had grown the business to include 3 employees. Ron constructed a 3,200 square shop in front of the family home in 1989 as the business was flourishing. The following year Ron and Denise bought out Bernie Kraai’s equipment/business as Bernie was ready to retire. Denise is instrumental in the growth of Kraai Well Drilling as she takes care of the office supervision.

Kraai Well Drilling took a large step forward in 1991, when they purchased their first Rotary rig. Dave Hazen (license #03-2334) rose to the challenge and mastered the art of “Rotary” drilling after years of valuable service. Dave has been a huge asset and is credited with helping with the growth of the company. This confidence in personal led to the purchase of a used Versa drill rig in 1999, and the purchase of a new 2002 Versa-drill 3 years later. These state of the art rigs allow KWD to keep a tight schedule as we are able to drill over 200ft in a single day.
