About Us
Water Well Drilling Professionals in Falls City, NE
Rieschick Drilling Co was established in 1947 when Milton and Carol Rieschick purchased D. H. Kuhlman Drilling and Pump Service. Milton had worked for D. H. for several years and when D.H. was looking to pursue other endeavors, Milton and Carol took the opportunity to further their careers.
In 1953, Milton purchased his first new well rig and the business has grown in leaps and bounds ever since. Milton and Carol went on to have a beautiful family of five children. Roy worked with his dad while he was growing up and went on to attend the University of Nebraska. In 1972, Roy graduated with a B.S. in Geology and came back to Falls City to resume work with his father. In 1975, Milton sadly passed away, but had Roy and Carol ready and willing to continue the family business.
In 1990, Carol decided to retire and handed the reigns over to Roy and Kathy. Their two sons, Ryan and Andrew grew up working in the business. In December of 2023, Roy passed away. His time working with his sons had prepared them to continue operations. Kathy, along with Andrew and Ryan, currently lead the business.
