Firms are spread across Torre-Pacheco, Jumilla, Alhama de Murcia and Mazarrón. For work that needs return visits, a firm within an hour’s drive is usually worth a slightly higher quote.
None of these firms has 20 Google reviews yet, so lean on references from past customers. Read the low-star reviews as well as the high ones: how a firm answers a complaint tells you a lot.
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?
