Common Questions

Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions about borewell drilling and pump services

How do I know the right depth for my borewell?

+

The required depth depends on your location's geological conditions and groundwater table. Before drilling, we conduct a thorough site survey and may recommend consulting with groundwater survey experts. In the Palakkad region, borewells typically range from 200 to 800 feet deep, depending on the area. We drill until we hit adequate water-bearing formations and achieve a satisfactory yield.

Our experienced team can assess your site and provide recommendations based on similar projects in your area. We also consider factors like your daily water requirement, soil type, and nearby borewell data.

Do you help with getting permissions or approvals?

+

Yes, we assist our customers with the permission and approval process. As a Kerala Government approved contractor (Reg No: GWD/PKD/1144-14/012), we are familiar with all the requirements and documentation needed for legal borewell drilling.

We can guide you through the process of obtaining necessary approvals from the Ground Water Department and local authorities. Our team will help prepare the required documents and ensure compliance with all regulations.

What type of pump is best for my house?

+

The best pump depends on several factors including your borewell depth, water level, daily consumption, and the height to which water needs to be lifted. For most household borewells in Kerala:

  • 1-2 HP Submersible Pump: Suitable for depths up to 300 ft with moderate water needs
  • 3-5 HP Submersible Pump: Ideal for depths up to 500 ft or homes with higher consumption
  • Monoblock Pump: Good option for open wells or shallow water sources

We recommend the right pump capacity after testing your borewell's yield and understanding your usage patterns. We work with trusted brands like Kirloskar, Texmo, and CRI.

How long does borewell drilling usually take?

+

The drilling time depends on the depth required and the geological conditions at your site:

  • Soft soil/alluvial areas: 1-2 days for depths up to 400 ft
  • Hard rock formations: 2-4 days depending on rock hardness
  • Very deep borewells (600+ ft): 3-5 days or more

After drilling, casing installation takes an additional half to one day. Pump installation is usually completed within a day. Overall, most projects are completed within 3-5 days from start to finish.

What maintenance is required for a submersible pump?

+

Regular maintenance helps extend pump life and ensures reliable operation:

  • Electrical checks: Inspect control panel, starter, and connections every 6 months
  • Voltage monitoring: Ensure stable power supply; use voltage stabilizers if needed
  • Motor current check: Monitor for any unusual increases in current draw
  • Water quality check: Test for sand or sediment that could damage the pump
  • Borewell flushing: Periodic cleaning if yield decreases

We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) that include periodic inspections, priority service, and discounted repairs. This ensures your pump runs smoothly year-round.

Do you provide emergency repair services?

+

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency support for pump failures and urgent repair needs. We understand that water supply disruption can cause significant inconvenience, especially for households and farms.

Our emergency services include:

  • Quick response within 2-4 hours in our service areas
  • On-site diagnosis and repair
  • Temporary pump arrangement if major repairs are needed
  • Motor rewinding and replacement services

What is the cost of borewell drilling?

+

Borewell drilling costs depend on several factors including depth, soil conditions, and location. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden charges.

Cost components typically include:

  • Drilling charges (per foot, varies by soil type)
  • Casing pipes and materials
  • Transportation and setup
  • Pump and accessories (if included)

We provide free site visits and detailed quotations before starting any work. Contact us for a customized estimate based on your specific requirements.

What if the borewell doesn't yield water?

+

While we make every effort to identify water-bearing zones before drilling, groundwater availability can never be 100% guaranteed. However, our experience and site assessment methods significantly improve success rates.

If a borewell doesn't yield adequate water:

  • We may recommend drilling deeper if geological conditions are favorable
  • Hydro-fracturing can sometimes improve yield in hard rock areas
  • We can suggest alternative locations based on our assessment
  • Our pricing is transparent - you only pay for drilling completed

We discuss all possibilities and risks during the initial consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Do you offer warranty on pumps and installations?

+

Yes, all pumps we install come with manufacturer warranty (typically 1-2 years depending on the brand). Additionally:

  • Installation workmanship warranty for 6 months
  • Free service for any installation-related issues
  • Genuine spare parts for all repairs
  • Extended warranty available with AMC

We work with reputed brands like Kirloskar, Texmo, and CRI that offer reliable after-sales support. Our team is trained to handle warranty claims and service requests efficiently.
