Complete Well Services for Highland Properties

Whether you have a newer home in East Highland or an established property near City Creek, our team provides comprehensive well services:

Well Drilling in Highland

Highland's position at the mountain-valley transition creates varied drilling conditions. Properties benefit from mountain recharge, but the geology transitions from alluvial soils to decomposed granite and bedrock as you move toward the forest boundary. Our well drilling services are equipped for all conditions.

Well drilling in Highland typically costs $18,000 to $32,000 depending on depth and geology. Properties in East Highland near the mountains often require deeper drilling through harder formations.

Well Pump Repair & Replacement

Highland's seasonal temperature swings and varied elevations put stress on pump systems. Our pump repair services address:

• Submersible pump motor failures
• Pressure tank waterlogging and replacement
• Electrical control box issues
• Low pressure and flow problems
• Pump upgrades for increased demand

Water Quality Testing

Highland well water is generally excellent quality thanks to mountain aquifer recharge. However, some properties experience hard water from mineral-rich formations. Our water testing services ensure your water meets all health standards.

Highland's Unique Groundwater Conditions

Mountain Recharge Zone

Highland benefits from its position at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. City Creek and the Santa Ana River watershed provide continuous recharge to local aquifers. This means Highland wells often have better recovery rates than wells further into the valley.

Geological Transition

Highland properties experience a geological transition from valley-floor alluvial deposits to mountain bedrock. This means drilling conditions can vary significantly even within short distances. Our knowledge of local geology helps us anticipate these transitions and plan accordingly.

Common Well Issues in Highland

Seasonal Flow Variations

Highland wells can experience seasonal flow changes as mountain snowpack affects aquifer levels. Proper pump placement and storage tank sizing helps ensure consistent water supply year-round.

Sediment from Sandy Soils

The alluvial fan deposits in Highland can introduce fine sand into wells, especially during high-demand periods. Sand separators and proper well screen sizing prevent pump damage.

Temperature Effects

Highland's inland location means hot summers and occasional freezing temperatures. Wellheads and exposed plumbing need proper protection, and summer heat can stress electrical components.
