Cost depends on the depth required (which varies by area) and the pump and tank system you choose. Your matched driller will assess your location and provide a quote before drilling.

How deep do boreholes need to be in Lagos?

Depth varies significantly by area, from around 40-60 metres on the Mainland to over 100 metres in some parts of the Island. Your driller will advise based on local water table data.

Can you also fix an existing borehole that has stopped pumping?

Yes. Our specialists diagnose and repair faults with submersible pumps, control boxes, and pipe blockages on existing boreholes.

Is borehole water in Lagos safe to drink without treatment?

Not always. Water quality varies by area and depth. We recommend a water treatment or filtration system, especially in areas with high iron content or coastal salinity.
