What to expect
The right drilling approach starts above ground.
A borehole is a long-term groundwater asset, but every site brings different access, geology, water-demand, and equipment considerations. The first step is understanding the property and the outcome you need.
Deon’s can work with different drilling-rig configurations to suit the location and available access. The drilling plan, casing, pump requirements, and final system are considered together rather than as separate jobs.
Often suitable for
✓ Large residential gardens✓ Farms and smallholdings✓ Estates and complexes✓ Schools and sports fields✓ Commercial properties✓ Municipal-water backup
Built around the property
Important details, considered early.
Complete system thinking
Drilling depth, casing, tested performance, pump selection, storage, and intended use need to work as one system.
Clear expectations
Groundwater cannot be guaranteed before drilling. Local information improves the decision, but the geology beneath each property remains variable.
Service process
Clear stages. One working system.
The final scope depends on the site, but the decisions should follow a practical sequence.
Property discussion
Share the location, access, intended use, and any information about underground services or nearby boreholes.
Site and access plan
Confirm a practical drilling position and match the rig and working area to the property.
Drilling and casing
Drill through the formations encountered and complete the borehole construction required for the site.
Pump and handover
Size the pump to the system, connect the required equipment, test operation, and explain responsible use.
Province-wide coverage
Borehole drilling where you need it.
Priority search areas are listed below, with travel available to smaller towns and rural properties throughout the Western Cape.
Borehole drilling questions
Useful answers before booking.
Every property is different, but these are the right questions to start with.
01Can a borehole be drilled where access is limited?+
It depends on the route, width, overhead clearance, ground surface, and working area. Different rig configurations can help on some restricted sites, but access should be assessed before a quotation is finalised.
02How deep will the borehole need to be?+
Depth depends on the geology and the water-bearing formations encountered. Nearby records can provide context, but they do not determine the exact result on another property.
03Does drilling include the pump and tank connection?+
The project can be scoped from drilling through to pump, controls, storage, and connection. The quotation should state exactly which system components are included.
