Borehole drilling in Randburg

Established gardens, older systems
Randburg is largely built-up and long-established, with mature gardens and a fair number of boreholes that have been quietly working for years. Here the enquiry is often not 'drill me a hole' but 'my old one has stopped' or 'the pump has given up'. Those are repair and replacement jobs, and they need diagnosis before parts are swapped.
Where a new hole is needed, the stands are usually big enough for a sensible layout, though the older street pattern and established planting mean access deserves attention before the rig is booked.
Diagnose before replacing
With an old installation, the temptation is to fit a new pump the moment the water stops. That is sometimes right, but not always: an aged pump can be fine while the controls, the cable joints or the water level are the real problem, and a silted hole will defeat a brand-new pump just as it defeated the old one. A proper check saves money and a repeat visit.
Bringing an old system up to date
A borehole that predates modern controls often lacks the protection that keeps a pump safe: level controls that stop it running dry, a non-return arrangement, and a clear isolation point for servicing. When the pump is replaced, it is a good moment to bring those up to standard rather than leave the system as it was.

Frequently asked questions
My Randburg borehole stopped suddenly. Who do I call?
Send an enquiry and we pass it to a contractor who covers the area. Tell them whether there is power at the pump and whether the tank is full or empty.
Is it worth repairing an old borehole?
Often yes, if the hole still yields and the pump and controls are renewed. Testing the hole answers whether it is worth it.
Do you replace pumps only, or service them too?
Both. Servicing keeps a working pump going; replacement is for when the pump has reached the end of its life or the duty has changed.
