Access to clean and reliable water is a critical need for households, businesses, and communities across Kenya. With increasing water scarcity and unreliable municipal supplies, borehole drilling has emerged as a sustainable solution to meet domestic, agricultural, and industrial water demands. Bestcare Handyman, a trusted provider of facility management services, offers professional borehole drilling services in Nairobi and throughout Kenya. Our expertise, advanced equipment, and commitment to quality ensure that clients receive efficient and long-lasting water solutions. This article explores the importance of borehole drilling, the services we provide, and why Bestcare Handyman is the preferred choice for borehole drilling in Kenya.
Kenya’s growing population and rapid urbanization, particularly in cities like Nairobi, have strained existing water infrastructure, leading to shortages and inconsistent supply. Rural areas also face challenges due to limited access to surface water sources, especially during dry seasons. Borehole drilling addresses these issues by tapping into underground aquifers, providing a consistent and independent water source. Boreholes are cost-effective in the long term, reducing reliance on expensive piped water or water vendors. They also support agricultural productivity, industrial operations, and community development by ensuring a steady water supply.
Bestcare Handyman recognizes the transformative impact of boreholes and is dedicated to delivering tailored drilling solutions that meet the unique needs of homes, farms, schools, and businesses across Nairobi, Kiambu, Machakos, Mombasa, and other regions in Kenya.
Bestcare Handyman offers a comprehensive range of borehole drilling services, designed to provide end-to-end solutions from site assessment to post-installation maintenance. Below is an overview of our key services.
Before drilling begins, our team conducts a detailed hydrogeological survey to identify the optimal drilling location. This involves assessing soil and rock formations, water table depth, and aquifer potential using advanced geophysical equipment. The survey, costing approximately Ksh 40,000 to Ksh 110,000 depending on location, ensures a high success rate and compliance with regulatory requirements from the Water Resources Authority (WRA) and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
Our drilling process utilizes state-of-the-art rotary drilling rigs capable of penetrating various geological formations, including volcanic rock and loose soils. We drill boreholes to depths of 100–300 meters, depending on the hydrogeological report, with costs ranging from Ksh 6,000 to Ksh 8,500 per meter. Well development includes installing durable PVC or steel casings to prevent collapse and gravel packing to filter impurities, ensuring a clean and sustainable water supply.
To extract water efficiently, we install high-quality submersible pumps tailored to the borehole’s depth and yield. Options include electric, solar-powered, or diesel pumps, with installation costs ranging from Ksh 50,000 to Ksh 150,000. Solar pumps are particularly popular in arid regions like Kajiado and Turkana for their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly operation.
We provide fabrication and installation of elevated water tanks and towers to store and distribute borehole water. Plastic or steel tanks, ranging from 5,000 to 24,000 liters, cost between Ksh 50,000 and Ksh 200,000, while tower construction varies from Ksh 100,000 to Ksh 500,000 based on height and material. These systems ensure reliable water access for homes, farms, or institutions.
To maximize borehole lifespan, we offer maintenance services, including pump servicing, borehole flushing, and water quality testing. Rehabilitation of existing boreholes, such as cleaning with compressors or replacing worn casings, costs between Ksh 50,000 and Ksh 150,000. Regular maintenance, recommended annually, minimizes breakdowns and ensures peak efficiency.
We assist clients in obtaining necessary permits, including WRA drilling licenses (approximately Ksh 50,000) and NEMA environmental impact assessments (Ksh 10,000 to Ksh 30,000). Our team ensures all legal and environmental requirements are met, streamlining the approval process.
