Check These 5 Tips When You Need A Borehole:

1. Are they concerned about the environment? If you care for the environment, pick a borehole contractor that has the same mindset. This will shine through in how concerned they are about using water sparingly.

They will also consider eco-friendly options such as solar panels to power water pumps. Partner with these contractors so you know your carbon footprint stays small.

2. Ask for a free quote: You cannot settle for the first contractor you come across. You must compare quotes and ask for references. After this, you can determine who will deliver the best value for money.

Most contractors will offer a free quote, in hopes of securing the work.

3. Prepare for the process: Realise that digging for water is a messy business. Your premises may be covered in mud for a while. This happens as the contractors prepare the borehole and install the pump.

Remove and replant valuable plants close to the borehole site so you do not regret losing them in the process.

4. Talk about guarantees, maintenance and problems: Borehole equipment is expensive and you’re making a huge capital investment into your property. Make sure you’re protected from future expenses by obtaining proof of relevant guarantees. You should also ask the borehole contractor about maintenance and possible problems.

With this knowledge you may handle small problems on your own, so you don’t have to pay call-out fees.

5. Warn your neighbours: The mud that is pumped out during the digging process may run into the street. Warn your neighbours about the upcoming process. This gives them time to prepare and it’s the considerate thing to do.

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
