What to know about borehole repair in FCT

Updated 31 August 2026

Identify the symptom first

Borehole Repair work is easier to approve when the technician can explain the fault, the proposed fix and how it will be tested. A weak or failed borehole should be diagnosed before the pump is replaced because low water delivery can come from several parts of the system.

Check the complete water system

Practical site conditions should be included in the plan. FCT boreholes may develop issues involving pumps, cables, control panels, pipes, low yield, sand ingress or ageing headworks, and the symptom can change with season and water demand.

When equipment must be removed

Ask the professional to explain the proposed method and how it will be checked. Check electrical supply, pump current, water level where possible, delivery pipe, non-return valves, tank controls and evidence of sand or contamination.

Before approving repairs

Before paying a deposit or confirming mobilisation, make sure the scope is specific. Ask for the diagnosis, retrieval method, replacement pump or cable specification, pipe work, electrical controls, borehole cleaning or rehabilitation, testing and warranty.

Use Skillland to compare approved professionals for the actual scope and location of your FCT project before choosing who to contact.
