Investing in a borewell is one of the most important decisions you will make for your property. Whether it’s for a new home, a farm, or an industrial unit, a well-planned borewell ensures a lifetime of water security. However, many property owners jump in without proper knowledge, leading to dry bores or failed pumps.

At Gatimaan Borewell, we believe in educating our clients. Here are the 5 essential factors to consider before the drilling rig arrives at your site.

1. Scientific Point Marking vs. Traditional Methods

The success of your borewell depends entirely on where you drill. While many still rely on traditional water diviners, we highly recommend Geophysical Surveys (Vertical Electrical Sounding). This scientific method uses sensors to detect rock layers and moisture levels deep underground, significantly reducing the risk of a "dry bore."

2. Understanding the Geology of Your Land

The drilling method depends on what lies beneath your feet.

• Hard Rock: Requires DTH (Down-the-Hole) drilling with high-pressure air compressors.

• Soft Soil/Sand: Requires Rotary drilling to prevent the hole from collapsing. Knowing your soil type helps your borewell contractor bring the right machinery, saving you time and money.

3. Choosing the Right Casing Pipe

The casing pipe is the "backbone" of your borewell. It prevents surface dirt and loose soil from falling into your water source.

• PVC Casing: Best for domestic use; it’s rust-proof and affordable.

• MS (Mild Steel) Casing: Best for very deep or industrial bores where extra strength is needed. Never compromise on the quality of the pipe—replacing a cracked casing pipe later is nearly impossible.

4. Estimating the "Real" Cost

Many customers only look at the borewell drilling cost per foot, but a complete project includes:

• Drilling charges

• Casing pipe cost (per meter/foot)

• Flushing and cleaning charges

• Pump and motor installation

• Transportation of the rig At Gatimaan Borewell, we provide a detailed, transparent quote so you can budget accurately without surprises.

5. Proper Maintenance is Non-Negotiable

A borewell isn't a "set it and forget it" asset. To keep the water flowing:

• Flush your borewell every 2–3 years to remove accumulated silt.

• Install a Rainwater Harvesting system to recharge the groundwater level during monsoons.

• Use a high-quality Submersible Pump that matches the depth and yield of your borewell.

Conclusion

A borewell is a long-term investment. By focusing on scientific point marking, quality materials, and expert contractors, you ensure that your property remains water-sufficient for decades.
