Borehole servicing & maintenance
A borehole is a long-term investment. Regular servicing protects your pump, keeps your water clean and stops small faults from becoming expensive breakdowns.
Scheduled maintenance
Routine inspections of the pump, control panel, pipework, pressure system and water level — before problems start.
Pump repair & replacement
Fault-finding, pulling and re-installing submersible pumps, motor and cable repairs, and right-sized replacements.
Rehabilitation & flushing
Desilting, airlift flushing and cleaning of clogged screens to restore lost yield in old or neglected boreholes.
Water quality testing
Sampling and lab analysis for safety, hardness, iron, salinity and fluoride — with clear advice on treatment.
Yield & pump testing
Measure how much water your borehole really gives, so your pump and storage are matched to it.
Emergency breakdowns
No water? Call or WhatsApp us and a technician will be dispatched to get you running again as fast as possible.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a borehole be serviced?
We recommend at least one full check a year for homes, and more often for commercial or heavy-use boreholes. Your plan is set after we assess your system.
Can you fix a borehole drilled by another company?
Yes. We service, repair and rehabilitate boreholes no matter who drilled them.
Do I need permits to drill a new borehole?
Yes — new boreholes need approvals, including from the Water Resources Authority and NEMA. We guide you through the process as part of the project.
Can I switch my borehole pump to solar?
In most cases, yes. We assess your yield, depth and daily water needs, then design a solar or hybrid system to match.
Do you work outside Nairobi?
Yes. We are based in Nairobi and serve clients in every region of Kenya.
