In 1982, Don and Susan Colclasure founded a small agricultural drainage business, planting the seeds for a family legacy built on hard work and dedication to quality. Their commitment to community and integrity helped Timewell become a trusted nationwide leader in agricultural and stormwater drainage solutions. Today, with over 250 employees and multiple manufacturing facilities, Timewell continues to lead with the Colclasure family’s values, delivering excellence and setting new standards in the industry.
In 1982, Don and Susan Colclasure founded C&L Tiling, Inc. to meet the growing demand for agricultural drainage solutions. Focused on serving farmers and agricultural contractors, their small business quickly laid the foundation for what would become a leader in the drainage industry.
Just four years after its founding, C&L Tiling, Inc. surpassed $1 million in total sales, marking rapid growth and solidifying its reputation as a trusted name in agricultural drainage.
In response to increasing demand, Timewell Drainage Products was launched in 1995. Based in Timewell, Illinois, this new branch began manufacturing 3"-8" single-wall corrugated pipe, enabling direct service to agricultural contractors and farmers with high-quality products.
In 2006, a new facility opened in Providence, Kentucky, allowing Timewell to extend its reach and improve access to high-quality drainage solutions across the region.
The expansion into the stormwater market in 2008 brought Timewell’s trusted drainage expertise to urban infrastructure and commercial projects, establishing a new standard for stormwater solutions.
Growth continued in 2013 with the opening of a new manufacturing plant in Sibley, Illinois. This expansion increased production capacity to meet the rising demand for drainage products across the Midwest.
Further expansion came in 2016 with new plants in Plainfield, Iowa, and Jefferson, Wisconsin. These locations allowed Timewell to better meet customer needs, offer faster service, and enhance access to high-quality drainage products throughout the region.
In 2019, Timewell faced one of its most challenging economic years. In response, the focus shifted to stormwater management as a key area for growth. That same year, Timewell purchased a facility in Selma, Alabama, preparing for future expansion.
The company expanded again in 2021 with a new facility in Remington, Indiana, strengthening the distribution network and enabling more efficient service to communities nationwide.
In 2024, Timewell proudly opened its new facility in Selma, Alabama, expanding service to the southern market. This year also marked a new chapter as the second generation of the Colclasure family stepped into senior leadership roles, continuing the legacy of innovation and commitment. With over 275 employees, Timewell remains dedicated to providing industry-leading drainage solutions nationwide.
