Borehole Repair Process
Our Engineers will attend the site, identify what the issue is provide a quotation, and are often able to resolve the issue the same day. This could be anything from replacing a pressure switch, replacing a pressure vessel or installing a brand new borehole pump.
Another requirement could be updating existing headworks, we have found that in a number of cases, existing borehole headworks do not comply with current risk assessments, which have been carried out by local councils. As a result, many do not comply with regulations which protect the borehole from vermin infestation or groundwater flooding. If this applies to your circumstances, our recommendations will be detailed in our report, and the team can conduct the necessary repairs.
No matter what is required, we have the abilities to fix or replace pumps from a number of manufacturers, including:

Borehole Pump Maintenance Contracts
When it comes to pumping equipment, planned maintenance is a far more effective method of management than waiting for something to go wrong. It is reducing the risk of an unexpected breakdown, saving you money on expensive repairs and increasing the pump's life expectancy.

- Routine on-site inspection and pump maintenance of your system, and any problems identified are rectified on-site where possible.
- Priority response to our 24/7 365 emergency callout service from an expert team of pump engineers.
- A fixed price for the duration of the service agreement (excluding parts).
Local Council Involvement
A private water supply is a supply of water which does not come from a public water supply (from a water company unless it is subsequently supplied by someone else). Private supplies may come from a variety of sources, including wells, springs, boreholes and streams.
Regulations on private water supplies in England and Wales were introduced in 1991 and were replaced by new Regulations introduced early in 2010. The new Regulations apply to all who own or use a private water supply. The new Regulations have been introduced to ensure that water from private supplies is wholesome, so that people who drink water or consume food or drinks made from private supplies may do so without risk to their health.
This extract is taken from the Drinking Water Inspectorate and Local Council Guidance notes. These notes explain that Local authorities have the responsibility to check and conduct risk assessments on any private water supplies. All results from these checks will be supplied to the relevant owners of domestic and commercial properties.
However, this does not apply if your house is the only one supplied by a water source. Under these circumstances, you will need to request the council conduct an assessment which will be charged for.

Borehole Pump Repair FAQs
While it could be a falling water table, it is more likely a mechanical or electrical fault. Check your control box for any tripped breakers or “Dry Run” lights.
The price varies depending on:
- The location of the site
- Whether we can fix the problem on-site or we have to remove the pump
- The type of pump
Do not hesitate to call us if your sewage pump fails, as we can provide you with guidance over the phone, too.
Contact us immediately! We can give you advice on what to do even before we come to inspect.
If your borehole pump is positioned too low, it may start sucking up sediment, which can damage it. Stop the pump and get in touch with us.Â
