As water becomes a most precious commodity and with prices rising all the time, there has never been a better time to have your own borehole installed.
This is the time and we have a success rate of 95% over the past 10 years, although no-one can see under the ground, therefore no-one will ever be able to guarantee the amount of water, the water quality or the depth at which the water will be found.
Our average drilling cost per each borehole is around R 600 a metre, and once drilling is done and groundwater has been found, there’s another outlay for installing a pump plus casings – about R15 000 to R20 000. We don’t test the quality of the water found, but will recommend that you take a test sample to a laboratory close to you. You will get the results within about three days. The laboratory water tests can be done at own cost.
