The Problem
Municipal water is no longer a given
Interruptions, restrictions and rising tariffs make relying on municipal supply alone a risk — for households, gardens, businesses and farms alike. When the taps run dry, everything stops.
And a borehole done badly — wrong position, wrong construction, wrong equipment — costs more to fix than to do right the first time.
The Big Joe Solution
A professionally drilled borehole, planned properly
We start with a professional assessment of your property, give you a clear quotation, and then drill and construct the borehole correctly — with equipping, pump and storage options planned from day one.
The goal is a long-term water solution designed around your property's needs. Yield depends on site conditions, which is exactly why we assess before we drill — no guesswork, no inflated promises.

FAQs
Borehole Drilling Questions
How deep will my borehole need to be?
It depends on the geology and water table in your area — depths vary significantly even between neighbouring suburbs. We assess your site and local conditions before drilling, and your quotation explains how depth affects cost. We won't guess, and we won't promise a specific yield before the borehole is drilled.
How much does borehole drilling cost?
Drilling costs depend on depth, geology, rig access, casing requirements and the equipment you choose (pump, storage, pressure). Rather than quoting a misleading flat rate, we give you a written quotation for your specific property — free and without obligation.
Do you drill in Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg?
Yes — those are our core areas, and we work across the wider Gauteng region too. Other locations can be arranged on request; mention your area when you ask for a quote.
Can you install the pump after drilling?
Yes. We handle the full equipping side — submersible pump selection and installation, piping, cabling, control panels and connection to storage tanks or pressure systems. See our pump installation service.
