Well Conditions in El Cajon
In El Cajon, wells typically reach depths of 50-150 feet to access the San Diego Formation aquifer. The local geology consists of decomposed granite and sandy loam, which affects drilling methods and well performance.
Common issues we see in El Cajon: saltwater intrusion near coast, iron and manganese in groundwater. With 10-12 inches annually rainfall, proper well maintenance is essential for reliable water supply.
Drilling in El Cajon requires specialized knowledge of local geology. The decomposed granite and sandy loam presents specific challenges, and we use the right drilling techniques to ensure a productive well. Our experience with the San Diego Formation aquifer helps us site wells for optimal yield.
