Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before starting your borehole project.

Borehole drilling costs in Kenya vary based on depth, geology, location, and the scope of work. Typical projects range from KES 250,000 to KES 800,000+. Contact us for a free site assessment and detailed quote tailored to your location and requirements.
A standard residential borehole typically takes 3–7 days from site mobilization to completion, including drilling, casing, development, and pump testing. Commercial or deeper boreholes may take longer. We provide a project timeline before work begins.
Yes. All boreholes in Kenya require a Water Abstraction Permit from WRMA (Water Resources Management Authority) and NEMA environmental clearance. Teko Engineering handles all licensing and permitting on your behalf as part of our service.
Depth depends on the local geology and water table. In Kenya, boreholes commonly range from 40 to 200+ metres. Our hydrogeological survey determines the optimal depth for your specific site before any drilling begins, ensuring you hit productive aquifers.
Borehole water quality varies by location. We recommend and conduct water quality testing after drilling. If treatment is needed, we can advise on appropriate filtration, chlorination, or UV purification systems to ensure your water meets WHO and KEBS standards.
A well-constructed and properly maintained borehole can last 25–50 years or more. Regular pump servicing, periodic yield testing, and prompt attention to any issues (reduced yield, silting) will significantly extend the lifespan of your investment.
Most properties in Kenya are suitable for borehole drilling, but groundwater availability and depth vary significantly. Our hydrogeological survey will identify whether your site has viable water-bearing formations and determine the best drilling location on your land.
A thorough hydrogeological survey greatly reduces the risk of a dry borehole. In the rare event of a dry borehole, we will discuss re-siting options. We're transparent about risk assessments upfront and will only recommend drilling where the survey indicates a good chance of success.
Yes. We design and install complete solar pump systems including solar panels, pump controllers, submersible pumps, and storage tanks. Solar is ideal for off-grid locations, reducing electricity costs to near-zero while providing reliable, clean energy for water pumping.
Absolutely. Our Malipo Pole Pole plan lets you start your borehole project with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining balance in mutually agreed instalments. This makes clean, reliable water accessible without requiring the full project cost upfront.
