Our Services
From Site Survey to Pump and Tank Installation, One Contractor for the Whole Job.
Borehole Siting
Our siting and drilling processes are seamlessly integrated—we only drill where we’ve conducted siting, and we only site where we plan to drill. This approach allows us to offer a 100% refund if no water is found, providing you with complete confidence in our service.
Borehole Drilling
We drill boreholes using our own rigs and skilled teams. Every project is executed to the appropriate depth, reinforced with casing and gravel packs for durability and longevity. We never compromise on quality or use substandard materials. Whether for your home, farm, or commercial site, our boreholes are installed to deliver the best quality borehole possible.
Borehole Yield Testing
Yield testing assesses the volume of water your borehole can produce under typical conditions. We conduct controlled pumping tests to determine sustainable flow rates, ensuring the installed pump aligns with the borehole’s capacity. This critical step prevents strain, dry running, or long-term damage, contributing to reliable and enduring performance.
Water Testing
We collect samples from your borehole and send them to accredited laboratories for comprehensive water-quality analysis. The results indicate whether the water is safe for drinking, livestock, or irrigation. Based on the findings, we provide tailored recommendations for treatment or filtration, ensuring your water remains clean and safe for years to come.
Pump and Filter Installation
We install pumps and filters customised to your borehole’s tested output and depth. Our team partners with trusted brands to ensure reliability and efficiency. Each system is designed for easy maintenance and long-term performance, delivering the right pressure and clean water with full installation support.
Tank Installation
We provide and install water tanks equipped with pressure pumps and filters tailored to your borehole yield. Every setup is unique for dependable water storage and consistent pressure across your home or farm. From individual tanks to complete water systems, we ensure seamless daily operation.
The Problem with Agents
Why some boreholes fail and how to avoid it:
Agents often promise the world but deliver short-lived results. Many “drilling companies” are actually agents who sub-contract the drilling and use the cheapest methods to save costs: shallow holes, thin casings, no gravel pack, and minimal testing. When the borehole fails, those agents often vanish.
What to look out for:
- Unscrupulous drillers who overcharge by billing for more meters than they actually drill.
- No siting survey or obvious reliance on guesswork.
- Cheap casing and no gravel pack.
- No yield testing or incorrect pump sizing.
- No after-service when problems start.
How We Differ:
We run siting surveys, own the rigs that reach the required depth, use proper materials and test yield before recommending pumps. We document our work so you can see what was done.
Why Choose Us
- No agent middlemen. We bring our own rigs and crews to every job.
- Geophysical surveys reduce risk. We don’t guess.
- Proper casing, gravel packs and materials that hold up.
- Based near Pretoria with a branch in Thohoyandou; we operate across Limpopo, Gauteng and nationwide if required.
- If problems arise, we return and fix them — we don’t disappear.
