End Your Water Worries by Drilling Your Own Borehole

Don’t wait for another Water Interruption or Drought!

Get off the water grid with your own borehole and have Reliable, Clean Water on Tap…

PLUS say goodbye to your Municipal Water Bill!

Enjoy Safe Drinking Water with Correctly Installed Water Filters

We send the water for lab tests and, after analyzing the results, we will install the necessary filters to ensure safe drinking water. In most cases, only filters will be required to remove fine sand particles, with a 70% chance of success.

Professional Installation means that you only see us once or twice a year if needed.

The lab test results will give us an indication of how frequently your filters should be replaced, typically every 6 months to 1 year.

We replace all filters during the annual service if needed to ensure your water stays safe to drink.

The Drilling Process

How does it work?

1. DIVINING WATER

FINDING WATER

Commercial Borehole Drilling

Agricultural drilling often requires the expertise of a hydrologist who can use geological and geophysical methods to locate areas with the best water yield.

Residential Borehole Drilling

Residential drilling is typically done on-site where the drilling rig can access the property.

2. DRILLING

A MESSY & NOISY STORY

How long does it take?

Drilling a borehole can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours to complete, depending on the depth drilled. Drilling is typically a noisy process, but keep in mind that it only lasts for a few hours. Be sure to notify your neighbors before the actual drilling takes place

It is messy

The drilling process often generates between 1-4 cubic loads of soil, clay, and sand waste that must be removed and disposed of appropriately.

The supervisor may request that any vehicles or objects that could disrupt the borehole drilling process be moved prior to starting.

3. FITTING THE BOREHOLE CASING

CASING IS IMPORTANT

To ensure safety and stability, it’s essential to use the right casing for your borehole. We offer both steel and PVC casing, with a minimum thickness of 2.5mm and 5.1mm, respectively.

The casing is necessary because there is pressure in the borehole once it’s drilled into the ground, which can cause the ground to collapse.

In areas with clay, wet clay can swell up and push low-quality casing, causing problems for the borehole. Our high-quality casing options ensure a safe and reliable borehole.

4. CLEANUP

WE CLEAN UP

As part of our borehole drilling service, we also provide site cleanup.

On the same day as drilling, we’ll clear away the 4-6 cubic meters of drill cuttings and wash the paving, ensuring a clean and tidy site.

5. YIELD TESTING

HOW MUCH WATER

Borehole yield testing involves pumping a borehole at a constant rate for a specified period to determine the maximum sustainable yield of water.

It is recommended to pump boreholes at around 70% of their yield to ensure a sustainable water supply that can accommodate dry seasons.

6. PUMP INSTALLTION

EQUIPPING YOUR BOREHOLE

The borehole installation process includes the installation of a borehole pump, electric cables, pipes, manhole, water tank, filters, and drinking water pump.

The drinking water pump is used to transfer water from the tank to your home, while the borehole pump ensures that the tank remains filled with water.
