Email excerpts; Most drillers are dishonest and misleading;
Our property is located at 18931 Camino Vista rd, Ramona, CA 92065. The well was drilled by John Warden. The location by GPS is at 33.05591° -116.79939°. This same site was selected by three drillers based on the surface rock formations. There were several fractures between about 400-600' and we only ended up with 2-3 gpm. We had him keep drilling to 1000' with nothing else.
John Warden was the only driller that I could get to call me back and when I told him you selected the drilling site did not have a problem with it. Several other drillers were rude once I told them I had a drilling site selected by you. They told me they have never had any luck on your sites and I needed to use their dowser. John told me about the well you mentioned in the email when I asked him how often he drills a dry hole…..
If a driller selected your site to drill, as above, enticed you to drill near power, recommended a water-witcher etc. with unsatisfied results.
You can get a free well drilled or a refund.
Misleading. Driller convinces you to drill blindly at a spot and no water received.
Drillers offers you a discount and you foolishly think he is a good guy.
Because the discount was not in the contract.
The driller knowingly knew the odds, that the well would be bad, low output.
He offers you a discount to get you to think he is a good guy.
Deceptive gallons per minute. Driller wants to get paid for drilling a worthless well.
Each vertical foot holds around 1 ½ gallons of water.
When the output of the well is a low producer.
Driller lets the seepage fill up the hole over night.
If the hole fills up 500 vertical feet, than you have 750 gallons of water in the well.
To get paid, driller controls the air flow showing an output from 3 up to 10 gallons per minute. It will only last for a few hours.
Happy, you pay him.
Than you pay for an expensive pump system.
Switch on the pump and the well turns off in a few hours.
Well went dry.
Excuse from the Driller #2 above, happens, which is frequently.
Well was in a pocket of water and you just pumped it dry.
We had a few earth tremors and it closed off the fractures.
Water-witching. Driller recommending a water witcher.
Falsely stating that his witcher never misses.
80 % of water -witched wells are low in production.
Blind drilling, you can save money if you driller here.
Driller states that you can drill here near electricity which will save you electrical cost.
Drill here on the flat spot where the driller can set up.
Driller is not interested in water but closing the deal.
Most drillers through-out California will tell you that technology does not work. They are lying to you. DO NOT hire that driller. The driller wants you to know/believe that he knows where water is. All drillers can drill but the driller that snowballs you into believing that he knows where the water is, GETS THE JOB. Drillers are not educated Geologists, Hydrologist or Geophysicists.
