Drilling a well is kind of like having a root canal. At some point in your life you may need to do…read moreit, but you are never going to look forward to it. Drilling a well is expensive and messy, with the results left mainly to chance. No one will guarantee you will achieve the well yields you are looking for. So, faced with these challenges the last thing you need is the added complexity of hiring a drilling contractor that isn't 100% straight and upfront with you. Let's face it...... most of us will only drill one well in our lifetime, so you will never have the chance to become expert at it. Indeed, we were complete novices. All we knew was our current low producing well was not producing ANY water anymore. Augie from Guardino came up to our property within a day of the first phone call and spent about an hour explaining the process to me. Augie gave us a worst case scenario quote due to the known difficulties of drilling in our area, and despite the large cost and no guarantee of finding water, we went ahead and started the process mainly because I felt confident that we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It felt like we were about to start an adventure together as partners. All permits, and inspections (pre and post) were handled completely by Guardino and all communications were done quickly through email and/or text, which is just perfect for me. We started drilling ahead of the original schedule and experienced a rollercoaster few days, starting with walls collapsing in on very expensive drill bits, to lots of dust and prayers, to the most unlikely and amazing outcome we could ever have imagined. In short, we achieved a staggering 80gals/minute (v's the original goal of 4~5 gals/minute, v's our previous wells 0.5gals/minute output). We achieved this at half the depth we expected, and even with adding a new pump, christy box (as the well was in the middle of a driveway) and pressure tank, we ended up coming in at half the original quote. From first drill to completion took around 5 days, and that included decommissioning the old well. After completion we received all of the required permits and paperwork in both electronic form as well as a nice physical binder so that in future we have all of the info for the well easily at hand. Augie kept checking in on us for a few weeks just to make sure everything was still working as we thought it would. It feels like we have a whole new property as we can now consider growing things and planting real grass for our dogs. In summary, this was a traumatic and stressful process and I don't think anyone should underestimate what it takes to drill a well. However, it was made a painless as possible by having Augie and Guardino with us every step of the way. This review is not for the result. That was up to fate and your mileage will vary greatly depending on your terrain. The review is for the service and support we got from Augie.

A great experience from start to finish. Our well is off-grid and powered by a solar setup. Most…read morepump companies had never even considered solar pumps (i.e. Grundfos), but Guardino were happy to both drill the well, and install the pump and solar. Since the installation, we had a few problems with the solar setup. Augie was always super-responsive, and ensured that any issues were resolved very quickly. This is a company that is about much more than just drilling holes and moving on, their long-term support is excellent.

Very classy and professional. We would hire them in a heartbeat if we could. If you need well drilling services, call Landino Drilling Co.

I started buying water from this company because I wanted the purist water possible, free from any…read morekind of contaminates. I purchased 6 containers. Some months later, I started researching about BPA (Bisphenol A) leaching in water bottles. I ended up calling the company, Brio, that makes Pure Valley's water containers. They make 2 types. I found out that the ones I was sold were Polycarbonate and not BPA free. I was shocked that a water company that advertises the "purist" water would sell BPA water containers, when the push has been on in the bottle and can industry to replace with "BPA Free." Now, when I purchased the containers I wasn't informed that these were not BPA free. I contacted Pure Valley Water about this problem and was told they did have some containers that were BPA free (but not any in the rectangular ones with the spigot for home dispensing). When I asked why they don't tell their customers they are buying containers that are not BPA free I was told that "we expect out customers to know this." Because I felt that this was a shirking of responsibility for what they sell, I asked them to replace my water containers with the BPA free ones. They refused. Therefore, I'm posting this review to ask the following question for other Pure Valley Water customers and potential ones: "Does it make sense that a company that prides itself on "pure water" would lag behind the trend to provide BPA free water containers? My answer: It makes no sense at all and defeats the entire purpose of "pure" water. Keep in mind that BPA is an endocrine disrupter and it can also effect brain development in babies and children. "It is a known endocrine disruptor that can mimic hormones, raising concerns about potential health effects on the brain and behavior, particularly in children." So, I would urge other customers concerned about this to take this up with Pure Valley Water.

Specifically Jesse Duran on the installation at our place in Boulder Creek- truly amazing. We had 2…read moreother contractors come out for this job. One two person team with apparently a lot of experience was stumped due to the close measurements. The second one was way over priced. Jesse Duran did this job with both extreme professionalism, and a "can do" attitude of someone who is truly an expert and has seen all kinds of challenges. Jesse is a super kind, informative, educational, and a great guy-an absolute magician with this installation. We had a space that used to have a pellet stove with a smaller exhaust pipe. We weren't even sure if we could make the new pipe go straight up instead of out and then up, but Jesse did it and saved us on the materials. Also a shout out to Chase at Woodstove and sun who guided us through learning the different heating possibilities- answering all of our questions easily with a lot of patience.
