About
Our operation specializes in residential and commercial groundwater wells, but over the years we have diversified our portfolio of services beyond that to meet customer demand – piling, dewatering, geothermal wells and more. Mel’s is proud to be a part of the Ontario Groundwater Association and is a registered contractor with the Ontario Ministry of Environment.
Mel’s Well Drilling was established in 1959 in Emo, Ontario. Today, Mel’s serves Northwestern Ontario, from the Manitoba border to Thunder Bay, with dedicated groundwater well and drilling services.
