Why Your Borehole Stopped Working

When your borehole stops producing water, it's stressful. You depend on it for daily water supply, and now you're faced with potential costs and downtime. The good news: most borehole problems are fixable, and many don't require complete replacement.

With over 15 years of experience diagnosing borehole problems across South Africa, we've seen every issue imaginable—from failed pumps to sediment blockages to pressure system failures. We know how to quickly identify the root cause and provide cost-effective solutions.

Our diagnostic process takes 30-60 minutes and costs ZAR 800-1,500. We'll pinpoint exactly what's wrong, explain repair options and costs, and provide a timeline. Many repairs are completed same-day or within 24 hours.

Troubleshooting Checklist: Before You Call

1

Check Power Supply

Verify electrical connection and circuit breaker is ON

2

Listen for Pump Sounds

A working pump makes humming noise. Silence means electrical issue.

3

Check Pressure Gauge

Normal pressure is 20-60 PSI. Low or zero reading indicates problem.

4

Inspect Visible Pipes

Look for leaks, cracks, or loose connections above ground.

5

Check Pressure Tank

Should be firm, not soft. Soft tank means bladder failure.

Borehole Repair FAQs

How do I know if my pump failed?

A failed pump produces no water but the motor may hum. You'll hear nothing if there's an electrical problem. A humming motor with no water means the pump is dead. Call us for diagnosis.

Can a borehole dry up?

Yes. In drought conditions or if water table drops significantly, boreholes can produce less or no water. We test water table depth and recommend solutions like deeper drilling.

How much does pump replacement cost?

ZAR 6,000-15,000 depending on pump size and depth. We quote specific price after diagnosis. New pumps come with 1-year warranty. Installation typically takes 4-8 hours.

What's included in preventive maintenance?

Annual inspection, pressure testing, filter replacement, water quality check, and pump performance evaluation. Plans start at ZAR 1,500/year and prevent 90% of problems.

How long do borehole pumps last?

Quality submersible pumps last 7-10 years with proper maintenance. Without maintenance, they fail in 3-5 years. Regular servicing extends lifespan significantly.

Do you offer emergency borehole repair?

Yes! 24/7 emergency service available across South Africa. Emergency call-out: ZAR 1,500-2,500 depending on time. Many emergency repairs completed same-day.
