The Problem
When the borehole stops, the water stops
A borehole that has stopped pumping, lost pressure or keeps tripping leaves your household, garden or business without the supply it depends on. Every day without water hurts.
And replacing parts on guesswork — a new pump here, new cabling there — wastes money when the actual fault was never found.
The Big Joe Solution
Test first, then fix what's actually broken
We troubleshoot the system methodically — pump, electrical supply, water level and dry-running, piping — until the actual fault is identified. A professional assessment comes before any parts do.
You then get a clear written quotation for the fix. The repair targets the real problem, so your borehole goes back to being a reliable, long-term water solution.

FAQs
Borehole Repair Questions
Can you repair an old borehole?
Often, yes — age alone doesn't condemn a borehole. We test the pump, electrical system, water level and piping to see what has actually failed. If the borehole itself is still sound, a repair or re-equip usually makes sense. If it isn't, we'll say so honestly and talk you through the options, including a new borehole.
Why has my borehole stopped pumping water?
The most common causes are pump failure, electrical faults, a dropped water level that causes dry running, or leaks in the piping. The symptoms often look identical from the surface, which is why we test rather than guess — testing identifies which fault you're actually dealing with before you spend money on parts.
Can you test my pump?
Yes. Pump and system testing is the heart of our repair work. We check the pump's performance, the electrical supply and the controls — including on systems we didn't install — and give you a clear written quote for whatever the testing finds.
Do you do borehole maintenance?
Yes. Preventative maintenance checks pick up small faults — worn components, electrical niggles, dropping performance — before they turn into big failures. It's the most cost-effective way to protect your pump and keep your water supply reliable.
