• Chemical treatment for mineral buildup removal
• Video well inspection and diagnosis
• Well deepening to access new water zones
• Screen cleaning and rehabilitation
• Casing repair and well integrity restoration

Water Quality Testing & Treatment

Corona well water quality varies significantly by location and aquifer depth. While generally good, some areas encounter hard water, iron, or other issues requiring treatment. Our comprehensive water testing services identify exactly what's in your water:

• Basic mineral panels for hardness and common contaminants
• Bacteria testing for coliform and E. coli
• Comprehensive chemical analysis including heavy metals
• Custom treatment design based on your specific water chemistry

We install and service all types of water treatment systems including softeners, iron filters, reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and whole-house filtration.

Understanding Corona's Geology & Groundwater

Corona occupies a geologically complex area where the Temescal Valley meets the Santa Ana Mountains. This geology directly impacts well drilling success, depth requirements, and water quality.

The Temescal Valley Groundwater Basin

Corona's primary groundwater resource is the Temescal Valley Groundwater Basin, which underlies much of the city. This basin contains alluvial sediments deposited by the Santa Ana River and its tributaries over millions of years, creating productive aquifers. Beneath the sediments lies fractured bedrock that also yields water in upland areas.

For well drilling in Corona, this geology means:

• Valley properties often find water in alluvial sediments (200-400 ft)
• Hillside properties drill through sediments into bedrock (350-600 ft)
• Water quality varies between shallow alluvial and deep bedrock aquifers
• Moderate drilling costs compared to pure granite mountain areas
• Generally reliable water production with proper well design

Groundwater Management & Sustainability

The Temescal Valley Groundwater Basin has experienced declining water levels due to increased development and drought. While groundwater remains available, wells need adequate depth to accommodate water table fluctuations during dry periods. We design wells with sufficient depth and pump submergence to maintain reliable performance through multi-year drought cycles.

Common Well Problems in Corona

Our decades of service throughout Corona have identified the most frequent well issues property owners encounter:

Declining Water Production

The most common complaint from Corona well owners: gradually decreasing water output over time. This can result from declining regional water tables, mineral buildup restricting well screens, aging pumps losing efficiency, or increased property water demands. Proper diagnosis determines whether you need well rehabilitation, pump replacement, deeper pump setting, or system upgrades.

Hard Water & Scaling

Hard water is extremely common throughout Corona due to limestone and mineral-rich sediments in the aquifer. Hard water causes scale buildup in water heaters, reduces appliance lifespan, and leaves spots on dishes and fixtures. While not a health concern, hard water significantly impacts home comfort and maintenance costs. Water softeners effectively address this widespread issue. See our hard water solutions guide for details.

Iron Staining

Some Corona wells produce water with dissolved iron that oxidizes upon exposure to air, causing orange staining on fixtures, concrete, and laundry. Iron is particularly common in deeper wells or certain geological formations. While not typically a health hazard, iron staining is frustrating and damages property appearance. Oxidizing filters and iron removal systems effectively eliminate this problem.

Summer Pump Failures

Corona's inland location creates brutal summer heat—often exceeding 100°F for weeks at a time. This drives massive water demand for irrigation, pools, evaporative coolers, livestock, and increased household use. Pump failures spike during summer when systems operate at maximum capacity for extended periods. We strongly recommend spring well inspections to catch potential problems before summer heat arrives.

Well Drilling Costs in Corona

"What does it cost to drill a well in Corona?" Here's our honest breakdown based on decades of local drilling experience:

Corona's mixed geology of sediments and bedrock generally allows for moderate drilling costs. The sedimentary portions drill relatively quickly, while the bedrock requires more time but is less expensive than pure granite formations found in nearby mountain areas.

Corona Neighborhoods & Communities We Serve

We provide complete well services throughout Corona and surrounding areas:

Equestrian Property Well Services

Corona and neighboring Norco are renowned for equestrian culture. Horse properties have unique well requirements that differ from standard residential systems:

Higher Capacity Wells for Horse Properties

Horses require substantial water—typically 10-20 gallons per horse per day, plus water for arena watering, barn washing, and irrigation. We design and install higher-capacity well systems specifically for equestrian properties, including larger pumps, increased storage capacity, and distribution systems optimized for horse facility needs.

Water Quality for Livestock

Horses are sensitive to certain water quality issues. We test for minerals, bacteria, and other factors that could affect horse health. Our livestock water guide explains what horses need and how to ensure your well system delivers appropriately.

Backup Systems for Critical Operations

For boarding facilities, training centers, and veterinary properties, water isn't optional—it's critical infrastructure. We can design backup well systems or generator-compatible pump installations to ensure you never lose water supply, even during power outages.

Why Choose Professional Corona Well Service

Your well represents a major investment in your property's infrastructure and long-term water independence. Here's why Corona property owners trust our services:

Corona Climate & Water Demand

Corona's inland Mediterranean climate creates significant seasonal water demand variations that impact well system requirements:

Hot Summer Peak Demand

Corona summers are brutal—regularly exceeding 100°F for extended periods. This creates massive irrigation demands for landscaping, citrus groves, and pastures. Add pool filling, evaporative cooling, horse watering, and increased household use, and well systems operate at maximum capacity for months. Proper pump sizing and system design are critical to handle these peak demands without premature pump failure.

Drought-Resistant Well Design

California's recurring drought cycles require wells designed to accommodate declining water tables. We drill wells with sufficient depth to reach reliable water even during multi-year droughts, and we set pumps deep enough to maintain performance when water levels drop. This extra depth costs more initially but prevents expensive emergencies during dry periods.
