What do you need water for? To provide water for use by a farm household or small rural community? To top up the swimming pool and irrigate your garden? Or maybe to irrigate a multi-hectare irrigation scheme. Whatever your needs are, there is nothing as good as having a source of water that is cost-effective exactly where you need it.
Drilling a borehole is not easy. It requires some research and planning. In this article, we will be answering some of the frequently asked questions by people wishing to hire drilling companies WA.
How can I ensure that I don’t get ripped off?
Getting educated about the borehole drilling process is one of the ways you can ensure that you don’t get ripped off.
On top of that, make sure that the contractor you are dealing with is reputable and either gives a detailed quotation of the work to be done, or uses a contract document. With a contract or quotation, it will be clear to both you and the contractor on who is responsible for what and what are the expectations. Because everything is clearly laid out, there will be no misunderstandings when the work commences, and in case of any, there will be a way for you to get recourse.
Do I need to register my borehole?
In most cases, you do not need registration or permission to drill a borehole for small gardening or domestic use. However, we recommend that you contact local authorities to check on what the law requires.
Where should I still the borehole?
Most homes are surrounded by brick walls or palisade fencing. This means that it won’t be an easy task getting a 25 tonne drilling rig into the property. For this reason, the only choice is the start or the middle of the driveway. However, the choice is much easier when it comes to industrial properties as there are multiple points of access.
Please do remember that you may have to do some deconstruction work for the drilling rig to be able to access your property. Also, after the drilling is done, you may need to reconstruct the area. The only issue is the drilling companies WA won’t cover this cost. Therefore, you will have to cover it by yourself. While this will put additional burden on you, do remember that there is some mess involved in drilling so it’s better that you are prepared early enough.
