For over 15 years, Borehole Pros has been Cape Town and the Western Cape's most trusted name in water solutions. Water scarcity is not new to Cape Town residents—the 2018 "Day Zero" crisis taught us the value of water independence. Since then, thousands of Cape Town homes have invested in boreholes, and Borehole Pros has installed the majority of them. Our reputation is built on reliability, technical expertise, and genuine commitment to providing lasting solutions.
Cape Town's water challenges are unique. With increasing municipal water restrictions, rising water costs, and the real risk of future shortages, a borehole isn't just a luxury—it's a smart investment in your property, your family's comfort, and your financial security. Our team specializes in understanding Cape Town's unique geological conditions, water tables, and Table Mountain geology. We've completed over 1,200 successful borehole installations across the Western Cape, giving us unmatched local expertise.
Cape Town's water table varies significantly by location. Areas like Constantia and Claremont typically have shallower water tables (40-80 meters), making drilling more affordable. Outer areas like Wynberg and Observatory may require deeper drilling (80-150+ meters). Our team assesses your specific location, soil conditions, and municipal requirements to provide accurate quotes and timelines. We handle all City of Cape Town permits and environmental assessments, ensuring full compliance with Western Cape regulations.
Beyond boreholes, we provide complete plumbing solutions. Cape Town's aging infrastructure and high water pressure in some areas create frequent burst pipes and leaks. Our emergency plumbing team is available 24/7 to respond to emergencies. Whether it's a burst pipe in Clifton, geyser failure in Camps Bay, or drain problems in Mowbray, our local team responds quickly with professional solutions that prevent costly water damage.
1,200+ boreholes installed across Western Cape. Expert knowledge of Table Mountain geology, sandstone conditions, and water table variations by suburb. Understanding of environmental impact assessments required by City of Cape Town.

Cape Town boreholes represent independence from municipal water restrictions. Our drilling service is the most comprehensive in the Western Cape. We handle everything from initial site assessment to final installation and water quality testing. Cape Town's water table varies by location. Constantia and Claremont typically range 50-90 meters. Wynberg and Observatory may require 100-150 meters. Outer areas could reach 150+ meters. We conduct comprehensive site assessments at no charge to determine exact depth and provide accurate quotes.
We use modern drilling equipment and have specialized expertise navigating Cape Town's complex geology. Table Mountain granite and sandstone require different drilling approaches. Our team works directly with City of Cape Town to obtain permits and ensure environmental compliance. Most residential Cape Town boreholes cost between ZAR 10,000-28,000 depending on depth, soil conditions, and location.
After drilling, we install pump systems, conduct water quality testing for safety and usability, and provide certification for compliance. Your new borehole typically saves 60-80% on annual water costs. For properties paying ZAR 800/month in municipal water, that's ZAR 480-640 monthly savings—nearly ZAR 6,000 annually. Most boreholes pay for themselves in 18-30 months.
Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our emergency plumbing team is available 24/7 for burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, and urgent repairs across Cape Town. In central areas (Camps Bay, Clifton, Constantia, Claremont), we typically respond within 30-60 minutes. Outer areas receive service within 90 minutes. We dispatch the nearest available technician for fastest possible response.
Common emergencies we handle include burst water pipes (especially dangerous in winter), geyser leaks flooding homes, blocked sewage lines, and complete loss of water pressure. We invest in advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly identify problems and provide permanent solutions, not just temporary patches that fail weeks later. We've prevented thousands of rands in property damage through fast emergency response.
Prevention is part of our service too. We inspect your plumbing system and recommend maintenance to avoid future emergencies. Regular borehole maintenance and plumbing inspections can prevent 90% of emergency calls. We also offer leak detection services to find hidden leaks before they cause major damage.
Geysers are essential for Cape Town homes. When they fail, hot water becomes a luxury you can't afford. We install, repair, and maintain all geyser types—electric, gas-powered, and solar. Our technicians diagnose issues quickly and provide cost-effective solutions. Many Cape Town homes use electric geysers, but solar geysers are becoming popular for long-term energy savings.
If your geyser is over 10 years old, we recommend replacement with an energy-efficient model. Modern geysers use 40-60% less energy than older units, significantly reducing your electricity bills. We can advise on solar geyser options—excellent for Cape Town's sunny climate—offering massive energy savings and environmental benefits. Solar geysers pay for themselves through electricity savings within 5-7 years.
