Having a borehole drilled requires very specific skills and expertise. The lifespan of a borehole is 10 to 15 years meaning you would be making a long term investment. 

If you don't do your homework, a borehole could easily become a long term headache.

- Determine if there are any other boreholes in your neighbourhood or area and where and which way the aquifer is running.

- Employ a professional, registered and recognised company that offers a complete service and ask for at least three references, especially clients who had their boreholes for a couple of years as it would provide proof of workmanship and after-sales service.

- Familiarise yourself with the municipal by-laws and regulations and take your neighbours and environmental factors into consideration.

- Ensure that there are no water or sewerage pipes or electric cables under the ground where the drilling will take place.

- Check the credibility of the pump installer and electrician and ensure that the pump is adequate
Whether water is found or not, the client carries the cost, be financially and emotionally prepared for any scenario.
