Your Full Borehole Drilling Solution Service

Required flow rates vary greatly depending on the application. On the commercial side, we regularly receive requests for 2000 litres per hour and we source and drill boreholes that meet and exceed these requirements. On the residential side, most households don’t require more than 500 litres/hour - even 300 litres per hour is adequate for smaller households.

The old adage is “How long is a piece of string?” - that’s actually pretty close to the reality when it comes to borehole drilling, except in our context it's “how deep must we drill before finding water?” Aside from the depth of the borehole, one needs to factor in the ease of access to the borehole location, pump equipment, water tanks, water filtration/treatment solutions and connections. We understand however that you’re probably looking for a price range, just as an indication of the required investment. So let’s say the borehole drilling on its own typically comes in at around R25k to R85k (depending on the depth) and then one needs to add on the pumps, filters, connections etc. - so approximately R60k to R120k. That said, there are frequent outliers on both sides of these figures, so please reach out to our team and ask for a quote. Once we know the scope of services you require we will provide you with a much clearer estimate.

Our recommendation is to choose a company with a proven track record that offers comprehensive services that include surveying, siting, installation, maintenance, services, as well as integrations and add ons. This way you won't have to juggle separate drilling, pump, electrical and plumbing companies to get your borehole working.

Borehole drilling is messy work, but our team takes great care to clean up after themselves as they go and our site foreman will always be on hand to check that you are happy with the condition of your premises while we work, and before we depart once the work is done.

Yes. At Billson Plumbers, we provide some of the most affordable and cost-effective rates in the business (based on the comprehensive services we provide). More importantly though, because we understand our clients are not just looking for water in a borehole - they need it to be connected to their commercial or residential property - we are not going to quote you for half the job.

This all depends on the location of your premises, as well as the particulars of the water table involved. Most boreholes in Gqeberha are between 30m to 90m, but we can drill as deep as 200m if required.
