Artesian borehole
An artesian borehole is one where the water is under enough natural pressure to rise up the hole on its own, sometimes flowing at the surface without any pump.
Why it matters
It happens where a confined aquifer is trapped under pressure between layers of impermeable rock. It is uncommon and it is not something you can plan for; the survey may suggest the conditions, but nobody can promise it. Where it occurs it removes the pumping cost entirely, which is why it is talked about far more often than it is found.
Why Proboreholedrillers
One team from the survey to the first glass of water
A borehole is five jobs bundled into one: the survey that finds the water, the permits that make it legal, the drilling, the test that proves the yield, and the pump. We run all five for you, with licensed rigs and a quote broken down line by line, so you know exactly what you are paying for before anyone starts.
