Water Supply Solutions: Borehole Drilling, Rehabilitation, Maintenance, Water Pumps, Solar Power Pump Systems by Bestcare Facilities Management

Reliable water supply solutions are essential for homes, farms, businesses, and institutions across Kenya. Borehole drilling, rehabilitation, maintenance, water pumps, and solar power pump systems ensure sustainable access to clean groundwater. Bestcare Facilities Management delivers comprehensive borehole services with proven expertise in Nairobi, Kiambu, and beyond.

Why Choose Borehole Water Supply Solutions?

Borehole drilling taps into Kenya’s abundant aquifers, providing drought-proof water independent of municipal supplies. With declining rainfall and rising water pump demands, solar power pump systems offer cost-effective, eco-friendly alternatives to diesel generators. Bestcare’s end-to-end services—from drilling to maintenance—guarantee 20+ years of reliable performance.

Quick Fact: A well-maintained borehole yields 10,000-50,000 liters daily, serving 500+ people.

Borehole Drilling Services

Professional borehole drilling starts with hydrogeological surveys using geophysical resistivity and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) to locate high-yield aquifers. Bestcare uses rotary drilling rigs for 100-300m depths, installing PVC/HDPE casings (6-12″ diameter) with gravel packs and sanitary seals.

Drilling Process

  1. Site Survey (1-2 days): Identify fracture zones

  2. Rig Mobilization (Day 3): Setup air rotary rig

  3. Drilling (3-10 days): Progressive casing installation

  4. Development (2 days): Air surging/surge pumping

  5. Pump Testing (3 days): 72-hour yield test

  6. Handover (Day 15): Water quality report

Yield Guarantee: Minimum 10m³/hour static yield or refund 50% drilling costs.

Cost Guide: KSh 2,000-4,000 per meter (complete installation KSh 800,000-2.5M).

💡 Pro Tip: Kiambu farms average 150m depths; choose solar pumps for irrigation.

Borehole Rehabilitation Services

Aging boreholes lose 70% yield due to siltation, incrustation, and corrosion. Borehole rehabilitation restores flow using CCTV inspection, air lifting, chemical cleaning, and surging. Bestcare revives “dead” wells, extending life by 15+ years.

Common Issues & Solutions

Problem Symptoms Rehabilitation Method
Siltation Reduced flow Air lifting + surging
Biofouling Bacterial slime Chlorine shock + brushing
Incrustation Mineral scaling Acid washing (HCl 10%)
Casing Damage Leaks/sand pumping Partial re-casing

Process: CCTV inspection → Pump removal → Surge development → Disinfection → Step-drawdown testing.

Success Rate: 85% yield recovery; typical cost KSh 150,000-400,000 per borehole.

📊 Case Study: Ruiru farm borehole (2006) restored from 2m³/hr to 25m³/hr after rehabilitation.

Borehole Maintenance Contracts

Preventive borehole maintenance prevents 90% of failures. Bestcare’s annual contracts include quarterly inspections, pump servicing, water quality tests, and 24/7 emergency response.

Monthly Maintenance Checklist

✅ Visual inspection (vibration, leaks)
✅ Water level measurement
✅ Pump runtime monitoring (hours)
✅ Electrical connections check
✅ Chlorination (50ppm shock dose)
✅ Yield testing (compare baseline)

Annual Costs: KSh 50,000-150,000 based on pump HP rating.

Emergency Services: Same-day response for pump failures (KSh 25,000 callout).

⚠️ Warning: Running pumps dry >2 hours causes burnout. Install float switches.

Water Pump Installation & Repair

Submersible water pumps (Grundfos, Pedrollo, Lowara) deliver reliable performance from 50-500m depths. Bestcare matches pump curves to borehole yield, ensuring no cavitation or overheating.
