Company History
Jelinek Well Drilling
is a family business in Rhinelander, WI run by Dave
Jelinek and his wife Robin. Originally started by Robin's
father Gus, "Gus Beyer Well Drilling" was based
in Hartland, WI for over 30 years. After 3 decades of specializing
in government contract work and employing a large crew, Gus
eventually longed for a more relaxed atmosphere and slower
pace of living. To achieve that Gus relocated his business
to the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin and scaled the operation
back to a single man crew. Dave joined Gus as a helper in
1975 and, though word-of-mouth was their only advertising,
the business flourished. |
Current equipment at the time were cable and rotary rigs though
rotary drilling rigs with casing hammers were just starting to come into
use. These new rigs provided a more efficient and faster means
of drilling wells. Eventually rotary drilling technology advanced
to the point of the casing hammer evolving to allow for a
"drill-through" design and this improved efficiency
even further as it allowed the crew to visually follow the
drills progress based on the discharge out of the casing chute
since drilling and driving the casing are done simultaneously.
Whereas cable drilling and conventional rotary designs required
removal of the drill to chart progress, drill-through designs
eliminate the time-consuming task of pulling the drill and
welding on additional lengths of casing then re-drilling the
casing out. It was now easier to go through more difficult
ground to reach water. |
 Dave recognized the
additional benefits to customers and invested in the new technology.
This represented a commitment to customer service that originally
started with Gus' business and continues to this day with
Jelinek Well Drilling. In 1986, Dave
and Robin took the business over full-time and they have enjoyed
steady growth and increased volume with each passing year.
What started as a business that drilled, on average, 50 wells
per year, has grown into one of the most sought-after well
drilling firms in Northern Wisconsin with thousands of satisfied
customers. |

is delivering customer satisfaction and we go to great lengths
to achieve that. From building relationships with contractors
