Don't Be Drilled: The High Cost of Cheap Boreholes

Zimbabweans are facing an unprecedented water crisis, and many are turning to boreholes as a reliable water source. However, the allure of low prices has led to a surge in subpar borehole drilling services, leaving homeowners with costly and frustrating consequences.

In the past two months alone, Nakiso Borehole Drilling has been inundated with calls from desperate clients whose boreholes have collapsed. These homeowners, lured by promises of cheap drilling, have experienced firsthand the disastrous consequences of cutting corners.

The Pitfalls of Cheap Boreholes

Substandard materials: Many drilling companies use inferior casing materials, such as class 6 instead of the required class 10, to cut costs. Beware of casings made from recycled materials like plastic bottles or bottle caps, as these lack the necessary strength and durability for borehole applications.
Skipping crucial steps: To maximize profits, some drillers neglect essential processes like proper casing installation, leaving the borehole vulnerable to collapse.
Lack of accountability: When boreholes fail, these companies often disappear, leaving homeowners with the burden of finding a new driller and incurring additional costs.
Financial ruin:
Rectifying a collapsed borehole is exponentially more expensive than doing it right the first time. Homeowners are left with a significant financial burden and the added stress of water scarcity.

How to Protect Your Investment

Do your research: Understand the borehole drilling process, the importance of quality materials, and the red flags to look out for. Ensure the casing is made from virgin materials, specifically designed for borehole use.
Choose a reputable company: Look for a borehole drilling company with a proven track record, positive reviews, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
Beware of overly low quotes: Unrealistic prices are often a sign of subpar work.
Ask for references: Speak to previous clients to gauge the company's reliability and the quality of their work.
Insist on a warranty: A reputable company will stand behind its work and offer a warranty on their services.
