Maintenance

Bring your borehole back to life.

Boreholes lose performance over time. Pumps wear out, screens clog, sediment builds up and water levels change. Many of these problems can be fixed without drilling a new borehole, and we repair boreholes whoever drilled them.

What we do

  • Inspection and diagnosis of the pump, wiring and borehole
  • Pump repair, servicing and replacement
  • Cleaning, flushing and redevelopment to restore flow
  • Repair of leaks and plumbing between the pump and the tank
  • Water testing after repairs, carried out by our own team
  • Routine maintenance visits to prevent breakdowns

Signs your borehole needs attention

  • The borehole has stopped giving water or gives much less than before
  • The pump runs but little or no water comes out
  • Water has turned sandy, muddy, smelly or discoloured
  • The pump trips, overheats or keeps needing repairs
  • The borehole has not been checked in over a year

How it works

One accountable team from the first call to the day the water flows, and after.

01

Call us

Tell us what has changed. If the pump is running without delivering water, switch it off to protect it.

02

Diagnose

We inspect the pump, power supply and borehole to find the actual cause.

03

Explain

We tell you plainly what is wrong, what fixing it involves and what it will cost, before any work starts.

04

Repair and test

We carry out the repair, cleaning or rehabilitation, then test the flow and the water.

Honest diagnosis first

We diagnose before we quote, and we tell you honestly whether a repair, a clean-out or a rehabilitation will work, or whether drilling again is the better use of your money. Many boreholes can be brought back without redrilling, and because we drill as well as repair, we know what to look for.

Frequently asked questions

My borehole has stopped giving water. What should I do first?

Switch off the pump and avoid running it dry, because that can damage it. Then call us so we can inspect it and find the cause.

Can it be fixed, or do I need a new borehole?

Often it can be fixed. We diagnose first and tell you whether repair, cleaning or rehabilitation will work.

Why has my borehole's yield dropped?

Common causes are a worn pump, clogged screens, sediment build-up, a falling water level or casing problems.

Do you work on boreholes you did not drill?

Yes. We inspect, repair and rehabilitate existing boreholes, whoever drilled them.

How often should a borehole be serviced?

For most boreholes, a yearly check is a sensible habit. Heavily used boreholes may need more frequent attention.

Do you test the water after repairs?

Yes. After work on the borehole, we can sample and test the water ourselves so you know it is fit for its use.
