I ran out of water one afternoon and Daniel came out at 7pm exactly when he said he would. He diagnosed and fixed my problem that evening and the bill was very reasonable and more than fair.

We discussed all of the options. They were very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the details of what they recommended. I gave them the green light and they started the job within a few days and finished when they said they would. The well works better now than it has in the 20 years since I had it installed. They communicated extremely well and showed up when they said they would, completed the work we agreed upon and left my property in immaculate condition. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their well reconfigured or repaired.

I cannot thank Paul Dierkop and his brother Shannon enough for their competence and honesty. Paul's…read moreexperience determining if the location we had selected for the well had potential was priceless. Having just experienced a disastrous 45K dollar 1,600 foot deep dry well by another driller who claimed there is always water eventually, was clearly a concern. There are no guarantees when drilling a well. Using both electromagnetic VFL soundings and a seasoned local water witcher produced a number of possible locations. Paul assessed the locations and shared his opinion that we followed. At 550 feet we hit 20 gpm of quality water. Not only did Paul honor his contract to the letter, the drilling site was meticulously maintained and completely cleaned when he was finished. Shannon came in behind to set the pump system up using the most current technology and equipment available. He cleaned the well and pump multiple times and was producing perfect water samples for testing in no time. Honestly, drilling a well is expensive and a bit scary. This is hands down the team you want for drilling and setting up your well.

I highly regret doing so, not only were they over priced, They have a horrible attitude, the worst customer service. They have an aggressive demeanor and try to make you feel like they are doing you a favor. They got physically aggressive, had to call the cops. They did not finish the job, even though I paid for it. Now trying to get another contractor to finish. Customers beware of these guys, they are rude, they are sloppy workers and do not understand what customer service is about. 30 years in business but not one internet review ? Shannon Dierkop is a thief that has a horrible reputation in San Diego with not paying employees and being violent bully and aggressive, he works with no contracting license and Paul Dierkop his brother will back up his attitude and will not make the job right with the clients.

ron review This is a…read moretale of two well companies. Our well opens into a sulphur deposit and what makes our water potable is a filtration unit that pulls out hydrogen sulfide (and iron) as our domestic water runs through it. This is the far less common way to treat that horrible smell, we know, but for now, it's what we've got ...Or had, until it blinked out first thing on a Saturday morning (of course). Fast forward to Monday morning. We tried to contact the company who installed it, but they'd sold off that part of their business. So, we called that company, left a message and didn't hear back from them. On Tuesday, we used their online appointment setting form and someone did come out on Wednesday morning. They readily admitted they didn't know anything about these filtration units which didn't surprise us as none of the well companies we'd previously dealt with did. But they told us they'd research them and figure out how to fix ours, assuring us they understood the critical situation we were in. When we hadn't heard back from them by Friday afternoon--now almost a week without potable water-- my wife suggested I reach out on the Anza Bulletin Board Facebook group, which is undoubtedly the best idea she has ever had because someone in the group suggested Ron Coleman of Artesian Water Well and Filtration Services. I looked at the company's profile page and it, in fact, listed sulphur removal system repair as one of the services they offer. Also, unbelievably, it stated 24/7 service. So, on a Sunday afternoon, on a whim of desperation, I called and left a message fully expecting not to hear back--despite what they advertised--till the next day. Wrong. I got a call back a couple of hours later and after explaining the problem to Ron, he agreed to come out for a look on Monday. On Monday, he came out to inspect the problem, contacted his supplier, tried to get a rebuild kit to save us some money. On Tuesday, the rebuild kit for that model having been discontinued, he drove out to Ontario to pick up the necessary replacement part. On Wednesday, he installed it. On Thursday, he called to make sure everything was ok (which, happily, it was). And that other well company, the one we first contacted? We still haven't heard back from them. Ron and I had a chance to chat for a few minutes and it's clear he knows a few things. He knows how to show up when he says he will. He knows how to go above and beyond to make his clients happy. He knows how to be honest, courteous and respectful and to treat water emergencies like the emergencies they are. And he's also pretty darn good a fixing stuff. Here's the thing. There are some well companies out there that somehow manage to keep themselves in business, (God only knows how). There are some good, reputable companies out there to be sure. And then there is Artesian, which as far as I'm concerned, is in a class all by itself.
