FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a borehole cost?
The price depends mainly on depth and ground type, and is calculated per metre. After the site survey we give you a clear quote before we start.
How long does drilling take?
It depends on depth, ground and site access. We give you an estimate with the quote.
Do you guarantee you will find water?
Honestly: no, nobody can. Geology varies from place to place, even between neighbouring plots. A site survey helps choose the best spot and improves the chances. We explain the conditions clearly before we begin.
What do I need to get started?
Just a message with your location and what you need the water for (home, farm, school, business). We reply to arrange a site visit.
Can you install the pump and tank?
Yes. We install the pump (hand, solar, or electric) as well as storage tanks (1,000–10,000 L) and elevated water towers on request as part of our turnkey service. Mention it when you contact us.
