When it comes to drilling a borehole there are many unknowns and often hidden costs. Having a borehole installed on your property is an investment that will pay for itself in the long run, however, it is imperative that you are aware of the costs involved so that there are no surprises during the process. At Aqua Borehole Solutions we are completely transparent regarding processes and costs so that you can be better prepared financially.
Before Drilling a Borehole, Research First
Doing your research can save you some valuable time and money. Find out from your neighbours if they have a borehole and if so, how deep it is and how much water it yields. By doing your research you will have a good idea if there is an aquifer near you. Your next step will then be to find the right drilling company to start the drilling process. As we believe in complete transparency, you are more than welcome to contact our existing customers to better gauge our services and assess the quality of our work and the competitive prices we offer.
Water Source Detection
We know that the cost of a borehole in South Africa can be very steep especially when borehole companies employ independent professionals, such as hydrogeologists, to detect a water source and to conduct geophysical surveys.
At Aqua Borehole Solutions we encompass several services in our costs including water detection. Our state-of-the-art technology allows us to determine the presence of groundwater on your premises giving us and you, the information needed to better plan the costs of your drilling project. Investing in our services means that you have put your money and faith in a company with a 99% water detection success rate.
Calculating the Long-Term Savings
If at any point you are unsure of whether the cost of drilling a borehole is worth the financial investment, we would suggest that you consider how much you pay for your municipal water. Calculate the monthly amount over 12 months and then over 10 to 15 years, also considering the possibility of limited water supply during droughts and unscheduled maintenance when making your calculations. Add poor municipal supply in the mix and you will understand why having an unlimited supply of fresh water is financially viable for both the health of your family and your pocket.
Full Turnkey Solutions
Some borehole companies will claim that they offer a range of services that are included in the cost of drilling a borehole only for you to discover a hefty bill once the drilling is completed. This is usually because they need to outsource services such as pump installations.
At Aqua Borehole Solutions we discuss all the services on offer with you so that you know, in advance, what the financial outlay will be. What we offer our customers is full turnkey solutions, meaning that from the on-site consultation to the design and installation of your filtration system, our expertly skilled teams, which include plumbers and electricians, will take you through the entire process. Our delivery solutions include:
