Everything people usually ask us about borehole drilling, pumps, water tanks and plumbing across Gauteng. Can't find your answer? Call now or WhatsApp us directly.




















Borehole Drilling
How do you know if there's water on my property?
We do a site assessment first, reading the land and using our drilling experience in your specific area of Gauteng to give you an honest probability, before any drilling starts.
What if you drill and don't find water?
It's rare when a proper site assessment has been done first, which is exactly why we don't skip that step. We'll always be upfront about the risk on your specific property before you commit.
How deep do boreholes usually need to go in Gauteng?
It varies a lot by area, anywhere from around 40m to over 100m. Your site assessment gives you a realistic estimate for your specific property, not a generic industry number.
How long does drilling take?
Most residential boreholes are drilled and cased within a day, sometimes two depending on ground conditions. Yield testing typically follows a day or two after that.
Pumps
Do you repair pumps you didn't install yourselves?
Yes. Most of our pump callouts are repairs on systems someone else installed. We diagnose the fault first, then tell you honestly whether it's a repair or a replacement, no matter who fitted it originally.
What types of pumps do you work on?
Submersible, borehole, pressure and booster pumps, across most major brands. If it moves water around your property, we can very likely repair or install it.
My borehole pump has stopped working. What's usually wrong?
Most commonly a burnt-out motor, a dropped or damaged cable, or the pump has simply run dry because the borehole yield dropped. We test on site rather than guessing before we quote.
How do you decide whether to repair or replace a pump?
Age, the specific fault, and cost of parts against a new unit. If a repair genuinely makes sense we'll say so and do it. We don't push a replacement when a repair will do the job for years to come.
