You’ll find firms in Pulpí, El Ejido, Macael and Tíjola. For work that needs return visits, a firm within an hour’s drive is usually worth a slightly higher quote.
Only TYG González has 20 or more Google reviews. The average rating across the list is 4.6 (firms with at least five reviews). Look at how recent the reviews are; a strong score from years ago says less than a steady run of recent ones.
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?
