The list covers Albacete, Almansa and La Roda. Closest to Albacete city are Sondeos Rojas and Sondeos Rodríguez. Distance matters less for a one-off job than for servicing, so check how often they’ll come out to a rural plot.
None of these firms has 20 Google reviews yet, so lean on references from past customers. The average rating across the list is 4.6 (firms with at least five reviews). A handful of five-star reviews is a start, but ask for a job you can go and see.
Ask for the price per metre and the expected depth, and check what the quote leaves out: casing, pump, cabling and the water analysis often appear later. A firm that has drilled in your valley before is worth a lot.
Questions to ask before you sign
- What depth do you expect in my area, and why?
- What is the price per metre?
- What happens if you don’t find water at that depth?
- Are the casing, pump, controller and water test included?
- Will you handle the authorisation paperwork?
