Well Drilling in San Diego: local context
San Diego has mild weather and low annual rainfall, canyon and hillside lots, seismic exposure, and mostly slab or raised-foundation homes.
Most homes inside San Diego itself are on municipal water, so well drilling in the San Diego–Chula Vista–Carlsbad area is concentrated on the outer edges of the metro and in rural parts of surrounding counties: new household wells, replacement wells, irrigation wells and geothermal loops.
Local factors include deep water tables and close regulation of groundwater use and saltwater intrusion near the coast. Most states license or register well drillers; ask for the driller's California credential, an estimate that explains per-foot pricing, casing and pump costs, and who handles the permit and water testing.
Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with California licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is your per-foot price, and what is included?
- What casing, pump and pressure tank are quoted?
- Who handles the permit and water testing?
- What is your state license or registration number?
- What happens if the first hole is dry?
