Frequently Asked Questions About Our Borehole Drilling Services Whether you are a home-owner, farmer or industrial business having your own borehole drilled is a big job. 

It is one that requires a lot of research, plenty of consideration and you have to be absolutely sure of what you are getting and how it will benefit you. With that in mind here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our borehole drilling services we get asked by customers on a daily basis.

1. What is calculated into the cost of a borehole?
Giving an exact estimation of the cost of a borehole can be a little more complex than one might think.

For an accurate estimation, we would need a little more information.

Adding to this cost is the transportation to the location, the number of meters that needs to be drilled until the underground water is reached. And then also the casing that needs to be inserted in your borehole.

2. What is the average depth of a borehole? 
The average depth can vary, but in our experience, it can be anything from 40 metres to 90 metres.

3. Which factors affect the cost of my borehole? What influences your cost will be the location. We sometimes have to deal with a layer of quartz on the way to your water source and that increases the cost of the equipment used.

We are very experienced and are aware of the areas where we regularly find this on-site and would be able to inform you beforehand.

4. Why should I choose your company instead of the other websites I found?
If the fact that we have years experience in the field of boreholes and pumps does not convince you, maybe our commitment and dedication to each and every client would?

We offer a +95% Success Rate!
We encourage you to choose a borehole drilling company that knows what they are doing, for if they don’t it can cost you a lot more to clean up their mess than you would have saved changing to underground water!

Fact 1: Know Your Borehole Casings

The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)

This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.

Fact 2: Borehole Drilling Depth

The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).

Fact 3: There Is No 100% Guarantee

It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.

Fact 4: Siting Is Important
Fact 5: Know The Risks
