Read a copy of the Electro Seismic contract carefully, note stated limitations.

1. Will not recommend drilling if 6 gpm or less.
2. Cannot get a reading if salt is in the water - no reading.
3. Probes must go into ground 3 feet for a normal reading, nothing less.
4. Reduced accuracy if unacceptable surface conditions. Still a fee.
5. Will not work if you have large fractures.
6. Will not work if you have a lot of water.
7. Less accurate if seismic velocities of your rock is not known.
8. Seismic velocities can VARY widely for known rock types.
9. Depths estimations are limited in soft soils, unconsolidated conditions.  That is exactly what a fractured zone is.
10. A calibration sounding is worthless due to #8 above.
