Borehole Cost Calculator FAQ
The borehole cost estimate provides a reliable price range based on factors like depth, and required equipment. While it gives a good indication of potential costs, actual pricing may vary depending on site-specific conditions, water availability, and unforeseen installation challenges. For a precise quote, we recommend a site assessment.
Several factors impact borehole pricing, including:
✔ Location – Different soil and rock formations affect drilling difficulty.
✔ Depth – Deeper boreholes require more drilling time and materials.
✔ Pump & Equipment – The type and capacity of pumps and controllers affect costs.
✔ Water Yield – High-yield boreholes may require additional piping and storage solutions.
✔ Additional Services – Installation of tanks, filtration, and purification systems adds to the total cost.
Yes! The calculator provides an initial estimate, but for a more precise quote, we offer on-site assessments. Our team will evaluate your location, drilling conditions, and water needs to provide a tailored quote with no hidden costs.

Apart from the drilling and installation costs, you may need to budget for:
✔ Water Testing – To determine water quality and if purification is needed.
✔ Purification Systems – If water quality is not ideal for direct use.
✔ Electricity or Solar Setup – To power the pump, depending on your energy source.
✔ Ongoing Maintenance – Regular servicing to keep your borehole system running efficiently.
Installation time varies based on drilling conditions and additional services required. In general:
⏳ Drilling & Casing – Typically 1 to 3 days, depending on depth.
🔧 Pump & System Installation – Another 1 to 2 days.
💧 Testing & Commissioning – 1 day to ensure proper functionality.
In total, most boreholes are completed within 5 to 7 days, but complex projects may take longer.
