Well Drilling in San Jose: local context
San Jose has dry summers and wet winters, sits in a seismically active valley with expansive clay in places, and most homes are slab or raised-foundation.
Most homes inside San Jose itself are on municipal water, so well drilling in the San Jose–Sunnyvale–Santa Clara 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. 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?
