Urgency Boreholes

About Urgency Boreholes

Five years of drilling boreholes across Gauteng, and one simple rule: when it comes to your water, we treat it as urgent.

Built by a driller

Urgency Boreholes was started by Paul, who has spent the last five years drilling boreholes around Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg. That time on the rig taught him how the ground behaves in different parts of Gauteng, which equipment lasts, and what customers really need when their taps run dry.

It also showed him a common problem. Homeowners were dealing with one company to drill, another to supply the pump, someone else for filtration and a plumber to connect it all. When something went wrong, everyone blamed someone else.

So we do all of it ourselves. We drill the borehole, install the pump and control box, fit the filtration or softening system and connect everything to your tanks and house plumbing. One team, one quote and one number to call.

The name says what we stand for. Water cuts, rising municipal bills and dirty water are urgent problems, and we treat them that way.

The team explained everything upfront and the borehole was running within the week. We no longer worry when the municipal water goes off.

Our water had a brown tint from iron. They installed a filtration system and the difference was immediate.
