Drilling a new borehole in Randburg
In Randburg a new hole often replaces an old one. Either way, siting on an established, planted stand is the first decision.
New hole, old stand
Randburg is built up and mature, so a new borehole usually has to fit around an established house, established planting and services that may not be where you expect. That makes the site walk valuable: the position is chosen after checking what is actually underground, not before.
Where a previous borehole failed to yield, it is worth saying so. The contractor can consider why, and choose a different position rather than repeat a spot that did not work.
When a new hole is the right call
Sometimes an old hole can be revived; sometimes the sensible move is a new one. If the old hole has silted badly or never yielded well, drilling afresh may be better value than repeatedly repairing a poor supply. The contractor should be able to explain which situation you are in.
