The Drilling Process
The drilling time can vary depending on the depth of the well and the geological conditions of the site. On average, the actual drilling can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days. The entire process, including the survey and pump installation, may take longer.
Yes, in Kenya, you are required to have the necessary permits from the Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA). We can guide you through the application process to ensure all legal requirements are met before we begin drilling.
While this is very rare, it is a possibility. To minimize this risk, we strongly recommend a professional hydrogeological survey before drilling. Our high success rate is built on conducting these scientific surveys to identify viable water sources first.
Pumps & Maintenance
The type of pump depends on the depth of your borehole, the amount of water it yields, and your specific water needs (e.g., household use, irrigation). Our team will assess these factors and recommend the most suitable and efficient pump for your system.
We recommend a routine maintenance check at least once every 2 years. Regular servicing helps prevent costly breakdowns, ensures water quality, and prolongs the life of your pump and equipment.
Cost & Quotations
The cost of a borehole is not one-size-fits-all. It depends on several factors, including the required depth, site accessibility, geological formation, and the type of pump installed. We cannot give a flat rate without understanding these details.
