Poor quality Borehole Siting, Borehole Drilling and Casing can lead to premature failure of the water supply. Unfortunately, there are unethical Borehole Drilling Companies in Zimbabwe. 


Here are a couple of questions to ask any borehole company that you are considering working with. Their answers to these questions will help you determine how experienced they are at finding water and drilling.

Do They Offer A Comprehensive Borehole Water Survey?

A borehole water survey ensures that there is indeed water under your property. Without knowing if you have an aquifer and how deep it is you rely on the luck of the draw to find water.

That could cost you thousands of US Dollars without any water to show for it and you ending up with a dry borehole you still need to pay for.

Do They Use High Precision Air Compressed Drilling Techniques?

To ensure a good supply of water you must be able to drill straight. Inferior quality equipment could drill skew shafts resulting in poor or no water supply. Do they include 'Developing’ the Borehole (Flushing the Borehole with clean air and water after Borehole Drilling.)


Unless you want to drink mud, developing the Borehole is essential. This process, which is conducted after water has been found, flushes the borehole clean and removes mud and other debris from the borehole. Make sure that the cost is included in your quote so that you have clear water

What type of Borehole Casing Do They Use and Do they Case the full Length of the Borehole?

Casing the full length of the borehole ensures it lasts a long time whereas not casing the borehole shaft could lead to the collapse of the borehole. Some contractors cut corners here to offer “Cheap Quotes”. Make sure you get quoted on class 9 PVC Borehole Casings which are belled and perforated to the correct depth and installed to the full length of the borehole. Your borehole should also be fitted with a gravel filter pack to ensure consistent water quality.

Is The Borehole Drilling Company Familiar with The Area?

Working with a borehole company that has experience in your area is essential. Municipalities often have different rules regarding borehole drilling activities as well as when, how and if you need to register your borehole. Furthermore the type of sediment and rock could require more advanced drilling techniques which makes working with an area expert essential. Drilling into clay or dolomite for example comes with its own set of problems. If you work with a borehole company that knows the geological features of the area it will dramatically increase your chances of success.

How Deep are Boreholes in Zimbabwe usually?

There are multiple factors that influence the depth of a borehole, however in our experience most boreholes in Gauteng range between a depth of 48m-90m. Use that as a guide when getting quotes from suppliers.

First, we need to do a Borehole Water Survey to make sure that there is water under your property. Once we have done the Water Borehole Survey and established that you do indeed have a suitable water source, we analyse the data from the borehole survey and prepare a quote. It is essential to note that we cannot provide you with an accurate quote if we did not do the Borehole Water Survey.
