When cousins Mark and Dave Traut started out, their main service was residential and irrigation services, although they have also offered commercial and municipal work from the start. The balance between residential and commercial projects leveled out in 2015 when municipal work nearly tripled - and we’re still experts in the industry helping to meet your needs.

Get Started

Angle Wells

State-of-the-art drilling rigs can angle drill at 15 degrees. These directional drills have the capability to reach well depths that cannot be reached with a more common vertical well.

Dual Rotary Drilling

In 1999, Traut Companies became the first and only drilling company in the State of Minnesota to use Dual Rotary drilling equipment. Its benefits and capabilities combine the desired qualities of ‘50’s technology, Cable Tool Rig, the speed of a Mud Rotary Rig, and the ability to drill large commercial wells on small sites – without the use of mud. This method produces nice, straight boreholes, and high-quality drill-cutting samples.

Rotary Drilling Capabilities

Dual rotary rigs drill and case simultaneously through difficult formations without the use of casing hammers, under-reamers, or drilling mud. They offer superior well development with dual-wall pipe. They can drill through large boulders, lost circulation zones, heaving sands, and unstable foundations.

Additional capabilities include:

  • Drill and drive pipe (Cable Tool method)
  • Drill with air or clear water
  • Produce great soil sample resolution
  • Drill straight holes in difficult geology
  • Angle drilling capability
  • Old well excavation (i.e., overshot drilling)
  • Eliminate cross-contamination of aquifers
  • Provide sonic test hole
    • 4-inch continuous core samples
    • Water quality samples
    • 6-inch test wells for test pumping aquifers
