Borehole Water Survey & Siting Services in Gauteng

Before any drilling begins, it’s essential to know where the groundwater lies and how deep it is. At Borehole Links, we offer professional borehole water survey and siting services throughout Gauteng to ensure your borehole is drilled in the most productive and cost-effective location.

Our surveys help you avoid dry boreholes, reduce costs, and achieve maximum water yield by using accurate geophysical and hydrogeological techniques.

Why a Borehole Water Survey Matters

Many properties in Gauteng have complex underground structures, different soil layers, rock formations, and varying groundwater depths. Drilling without a survey can lead to unnecessary costs and poor water yield.

Our professional water survey identifies:

  • πŸ’§ The best possible drilling point on your property

  • πŸ“ The estimated depth to reach groundwater

  • 🌍 The type of soil and rock formations present

  • βš™οΈ The potential water yield and flow rate

With this information, you can make informed decisions before investing in drilling.

Our Water Survey Process

We follow a detailed step-by-step approach for accurate results:

  1. Site Inspection:
    Our team visits your property to understand the terrain, land use, and access points.

  2. Geophysical Testing:
    Using electrical resistivity and other modern technologies, we locate groundwater zones beneath the surface.

  3. Data Analysis:
    We interpret the readings to determine depth, yield potential, and ideal drilling position.

  4. Survey Report:
    You receive a professional report with clear recommendations for borehole drilling, estimated depth, and system design advice.

Benefits of a Professional Water Survey

βœ… Saves money – no wasted drilling in poor zones.
βœ… Accurate data – scientific testing gives dependable results.
βœ… Better water yield – higher success rate for long-term supply.
βœ… Compliance ready – supports environmental and municipal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

A borehole water survey is a scientific assessment used to locate underground water before drilling. It identifies the best drilling point, estimates depth to water, and predicts yield. Doing a survey first reduces the risk of drilling a dry borehole and helps you plan your budget accurately.

Our team uses geophysical methods, such as electrical resistivity testing, to scan below the ground. These tools detect differences in soil and rock layers to find zones most likely to contain groundwater. The process is non-invasive, accurate, and takes just a few hours depending on the site size.

No company can guarantee water, but a professional survey greatly increases your chances of success. It’s based on scientific data rather than guesswork, which typically results in a much higher success rate for boreholes in Gauteng’s varied geological conditions.

Survey costs depend on your location, property size, and terrain, but they are a small investment compared to the potential cost of drilling a dry hole. We offer affordable survey packages and include a detailed report with all findings and drilling recommendations.
