In the quest for a reliable water source, the allure of a cheap borehole can be strong. Promises of quick installations and low upfront costs seem like a budget-friendly solution, especially in times when access to clean water is paramount.
However, as the adage goes, "buy cheap, buy twice." Opting for a substandard borehole can lead to a cascade of problems, ultimately costing you more in the long run and leaving you with a source that is unreliable or even unusable. This is why choosing experienced professionals like Nakiso Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe is not just a preference, but a sound investment in your future water security.
The initial savings of a cheap borehole often come at a significant price. Inexperienced or under-equipped drillers may cut corners on crucial aspects of the drilling process. This can include:
- Insufficient Depth: A shallow borehole might seem adequate initially, but it can be highly susceptible to seasonal fluctuations in the water table, drying up during critical periods.
Nakiso Borehole Drilling understands the hydrogeology of Zimbabwe and drills to optimal depths, ensuring a consistent and reliable water supply throughout the year. - Poor Quality Materials: Using inferior casing pipes, screens, and pumps can lead to premature failure due to corrosion, collapse, or mechanical breakdown. These failures necessitate costly repairs or even a complete redrilling, negating any initial savings. Nakiso Borehole Drilling utilizes only high-quality, durable materials built to withstand the harsh Zimbabwean environment, guaranteeing longevity and minimizing maintenance.
- Inadequate Filtration and Development: A properly developed borehole ensures the removal of drilling debris and sediment, leading to cleaner water and preventing damage to the pump. Cheap boreholes often skip or rush this crucial step, resulting in cloudy, silty water and a reduced lifespan for the pumping system. Nakiso Borehole Drilling employs rigorous development techniques to ensure optimal water quality and system efficiency.
- Lack of Expertise and Geological Understanding: Drilling a successful borehole requires more than just a drilling rig. It demands a thorough understanding of the local geology to identify productive aquifers and avoid potential issues like rock formations or contamination. Nakiso Borehole Drilling boasts a team of experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of Zimbabwe's geological landscape, ensuring accurate drilling and maximizing the chances of a successful and sustainable water source.
- Absence of Proper Testing and Certification: A reputable drilling company will conduct yield tests and water quality analysis to ensure the borehole meets your needs and the water is safe for consumption. Cheap borehole operators often bypass these essential steps, leaving you with uncertainty about the quantity and quality of your water. Nakiso Borehole Drilling provides comprehensive testing and certification, giving you peace of mind and ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
The true cost of a cheap borehole extends beyond just the financial implications. The inconvenience of a failing water source, the potential health risks associated with contaminated water, and the stress of dealing with unreliable drillers can be significant burdens.

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).
3. The Is No 100% Guarantee On Water: 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.
4. Borehole Siting or Water Surveying Is Important: Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.
