How to Choose the Right Borehole Driller in Ogun State
Not all drillers are created equal. Discover the 5 questions you must ask a drilling contractor before you hand over a deposit.
With so many 'drillers' putting up signboards, it can be difficult to separate the professionals from the amateurs. Hiring the wrong person can leave you with a collapsed hole and a lot of wasted money. Here is what to look for.
1. Do they conduct a survey?
A professional will always insist on a geophysical survey before providing a final, binding quote. If a driller promises you water by just looking at the ground, walk away.
2. Are they a registered AWDROP member?
The Association of Water Well Drilling Practitioners of Nigeria (AWDROP) sets the standard for safe, ethical drilling. Using a registered member like Achievers Geotechnical Services ensures accountability and adherence to engineering standards.
3. Ask about their casing materials
Always ask what class (thickness) of PVC they intend to use. Cheap contractors use lightweight drainage pipes instead of high-pressure borehole casings, which inevitably collapse. A professional will proudly explain the materials they are using.
