De Chenne Drilling

Driller Ratings > Riverside

Riverside homeowners have stated that DeChenne bad mouths WaterLocating.com.

It is probably due to the fact that DeChenne’s drilling talent is less than par.

Rating is below #5.

If you decide to have Radar Water do a geophysical survey for a water well drilling target than you should not hire De Chenne drilling.  Why!

1. Russ De Chenne seems to not have the experience or tooling to complete a computer generated target selected by Radar Water.
2. Russ De Chenne has a problem drilling into fracture zones where water collects.  But that is where the big water is.
3. Cannot develop the well to the full potential of gpm.
4. Last two computer targets in 2015 that Russ attempted, he could not complete..
5. First well, the drilling went to around 300 feet, De Chenne could not drill any deeper and stated that he had to switch to mud drilling.
6. Switched to mud drilling but STILL could not drill past the rocks & boulders.
7. Driller had to move to a secondary target.  La Cresta, Riverside, Ca.
8. This first target would have produced into the 100’s of gpm if a driller was able to drill it out and develop it.
9. With a computer profile one can drill within 200 feet of the target and still come up with water, gpm.
10. DeChenne move to the second computer target, limited by the neighbors horse corral Riverside Health code dictated that the well had to be minimum of 100 feet away and the output turned out to be only 60 gpm.

                

 

The second client’s well, December 2015, De Chenne made excuses to Bryan (La Cresta, Riverside) that he could not set up on the computer target due to the slope.

Better drillers are in San Diego.

• De Chenne drilling like many other drillers convinces the homeowner to move off of the computer target to a degree so that it would be easier drilling.
• BUT you will get less water.
• Water collects in fractures and drillers have a hard time drilling into computer generated targets, but that is where the good water is.
• Even on the second well De Chenne could not drill past the major section of the fracturing to develop the well to full potential to get the maximum gallons per minute (gpm).
• The second well is 500 feet in depth and only produced 20 gpm on a hill.
• Neighbor I believe, water-witched target drilled deep, with only 5 gpm and will not tell Bryan how deep he drilled, embarrassed.
