💧 MYTH: “IF MY NEIGHBOUR HAS WATER, I’LL DEFINITELY HAVE WATER TOO.”
It sounds logical - but when it comes to groundwater, every property is different.
Even neighbouring properties can have different underground conditions. Geological formations, fractures and groundwater availability can vary over relatively short distances.
That means a successful borehole next door doesn’t automatically guarantee the same result on your property.
💡 FACT: Every borehole site needs to be considered on its own conditions.
So before you assume what’s happening underground based on your neighbour’s borehole, speak to the professionals.

When you're choosing a borehole company, reviews can tell you far more than a star rating alone. They show you what the experience was actually like for the people who have already been through the process.

We especially appreciate feedback like this:
“Very helpful with all the info I needed before, during and after – from the water survey to the drilling. All a very positive experience.”
— Garth Elston

For us, that before, during and after matters.
💧 Clear information and planning
💧 Professional communication during the job
💧 Support throughout the process
⭐ 4.7/5 from 50 reviews

Don't just take our word for it - see what our customers have to say.

💧 THE FIRST NUMBER ISN’T ALWAYS THE FINAL NUMBER.
When comparing borehole quotations, a lower starting price can look like the obvious choice - but are you comparing the same scope of work?
Before deciding, look beyond the headline price and compare:
🔹 Drilling depth - How many metres are included?
🔹 Casing - Is it included, and how much?
🔹 Travel - Included or charged separately?
🔹 Additional metres - How will these be charged?
🔹 Equipment & installation - What is included in the complete job?
A quote that appears cheaper upfront may not necessarily remain cheaper once additional work or items are added.
💡 COMPARE THE JOB. NOT JUST THE PRICE.
Ask questions. Compare what's included. Make an informed decision before the drilling starts.

💧 BOREHOLE PACKAGE PRICE? KNOW WHAT YOU’RE ACTUALLY GETTING.
A package price can look attractive - but before comparing quotations, make sure you understand exactly what the package includes and where it ends.
Before you sign, ask:
🔹 How many metres of drilling are included?
🔹 What happens if the borehole needs to go deeper?
🔹 Is casing included and how much?
🔹 Are there additional charges that could apply?
Two companies may both advertise a “borehole package”, but the scope of those packages may be very different.
💡 DON’T JUST ASK “HOW MUCH?”
ASK “WHAT’S INCLUDED?”
Understanding your quotation upfront can help you make a more informed decision and avoid unexpected costs later.

💧 GOOD SERVICE SHOULDN’T END WHEN THE DRILLING TRUCK LEAVES.

A borehole project is more than one day of drilling. From the first conversation to the final handover, communication and support matter.

🔹 BEFORE - Understand the process, ask questions and know what your quotation includes.

🔹 DURING - Stay informed about the work being done and any changes that may arise.

🔹 AFTER - Understand your system, how it operates and what may be required going forward.

At Big Joe, the goal is a professional experience before, during and after the drilling.

💙 IT’S MORE THAN A BOREHOLE. IT’S ABOUT SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH.

📋💧 A HANDSHAKE IS FRIENDLY. A WRITTEN QUOTE IS SMART.

Before drilling begins, make sure the important details are clearly explained and put in writing.

Your quote should help you understand:

✔️ What’s included?
Know exactly what you're being quoted for.

✔️ What could change?
Ask about circumstances that could result in additional costs.

✔️ How will changes be handled?
Understand how additional work or costs will be communicated and approved.

A clear written quotation helps everyone start the project with the same expectations.

CLEAR TERMS. CLEAR EXPECTATIONS. FEWER SURPRISES.

💧 KNOW BEFORE YOU DRILL. IT’S WORTH ASKING.

💧 YOUR QUOTE SAYS “BOREHOLE”… BUT DOES IT INCLUDE CASING?

When comparing borehole quotations, it’s important to understand exactly what is included and casing is one of the things worth asking about.

Casing can play an important role in supporting and protecting sections of a borehole, depending on the ground conditions encountered.

Before drilling begins, ask:

🔹 Is casing included in my quotation?
🔹 How much casing is included?
🔹 What happens if additional casing is required?
🔹 How will any additional cost be calculated?

Because two quotes that both say “borehole drilling” may not necessarily include exactly the same things.

💡 IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE THAT COUNTS.

Know what’s included. Ask the questions. Understand your quote before drilling begins.

💧 YOU CAN’T SEE WHAT’S UNDERGROUND. EXPERIENCE MATTERS.

Every borehole site is different. Ground conditions can change from one property to the next - and what lies beneath the surface can influence how drilling needs to be approached.

🪨 Ground formations vary - from softer material to hard rock.
⚙️ Different conditions may require different drilling methods and equipment.
👷 Experience helps teams adapt when conditions change.

With 18+ years of combined team experience, Big Joe brings practical drilling knowledge to every site.

Because when you don’t know exactly what’s below, it makes sense to choose a team that knows drilling.

💧 EXPERIENCE. TRANSPARENCY. QUALITY.

💧 DRILLING THE HOLE IS ONLY PART OF THE JOB.

When planning a borehole, it’s important to understand what happens after the drilling is complete.

A complete solution may involve several stages:

🚜 DRILL - Creating the borehole
💧 EQUIP - Preparing and developing the borehole
⚙️ PUMP - Selecting the right pump for the application
🔧 INSTALL - Connecting the necessary equipment and system
🚰 WATER - Getting your borehole ready for practical use

That’s why you should always ask:

“What exactly does my quotation include?”

Know whether you're being quoted for drilling only or for additional work required to equip and install your borehole.
