Frequently asked questions

Most domestic boreholes are drilled within a single day, depending on depth and ground conditions. A water survey is done beforehand, and pump installation and testing usually follow over the next few days once the borehole is complete.

We strongly recommend it. A geophysical water survey locates the strongest water-bearing fracture zones on your property, which reduces the risk of a dry hole and helps us recommend the right drilling position and estimated depth.

Borehole depth varies across Gauteng depending on the local water table and geology. Depths commonly range from 40 to 120 metres. Our water survey gives you an estimated depth before we begin so there are no surprises.

In South Africa you generally need to register your borehole with your local municipality, and larger abstraction may require a water use licence. We can guide you on the requirements for your area and help you stay compliant.

Borehole water quality varies from site to site. We arrange laboratory testing of a sample and then recommend the right treatment — such as UV disinfection, softening or filtration — so your water is safe and pleasant to use.

Yes. Solar borehole pumps are ideal for off-grid sites and for reducing running costs. We design and size a solar pump system to match your daily water needs, with hybrid solar and mains options available.

Absolutely. We service and rehabilitate existing boreholes and pumps, flush older holes, replace worn cables and risers, and respond to breakdowns — even if we did not drill the original borehole.

We serve homes, farms and businesses across Gauteng, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Sandton, Roodepoort, Krugersdorp, Randburg and surrounding areas.
