About Kelley Dewatering
Built on Experience. Driven by Results.
Since the 1960s, Kelley Dewatering and Construction Company has delivered dependable dewatering systems and responsive field expertise for contractors building critical infrastructure across the United States.
Our Story
Six Decades of Groundwater Expertise
Kelley Dewatering has been in the ground since the 1960s. What started as Kelley Contract Dewatering grew into one of the most experienced deep well dewatering operations in the country.
In 1994, the company transitioned to Kelley Dewatering and Construction Company, expanding its capabilities and client base across the Midwest. In 2008, the company opened a second location in Colorado, extending its reach into the Mountain West.
In 2021, two long-term employees, Jason Creech and Brian Granum, purchased the company. Under their leadership, Kelley Dewatering has continued to grow, bringing new operational discipline, stronger safety standards, and a renewed focus on responsive client service.
Today, the company serves contractors, municipalities, and engineering firms on projects spanning the continental United States, with deep roots in Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
