When you want to ensure reliable water supply for decades to come, a borewell is often the only right solution. It is a modern and reliable way to secure clean water supply in a detached house, farm or cottage. On this page we focus on domestic water wells. If you are looking for information about an energy well used for heating, you will find it on our  geothermal well page . We have drilled hundreds of borewells in Pirkanmaa, so we know the bedrock in the area and know how to carry out the project efficiently and professionally.

A borewell is the best water well.

When people talk about a new and reliable water well today  , they almost invariably mean a borewell. Unlike an old-fashioned ring well, which is susceptible to fluctuations in surface water, a modern borewell is drilled deep into the rock. It provides clean and consistent groundwater regardless of the season. A properly constructed borewell is practically maintenance-free and lasts from generation to generation, making it by far the best solution for a property’s water supply.

How is the purchase of a borewell proceeding?

We keep the process as simple as possible for the customer. A typical well drilling project progresses like this:

1. Contact and initial discussion:  Call us and we’ll talk about your needs.
2. Free site inspection:  We will come to your site. This is an important step in determining the best location for the well.
3. Clear offer:  We will provide you with a reasonable offer based on your review, with no hidden costs.
4. Permit issues:  Usually, a borewell requires a permit from the municipality. We will advise on this matter and help with the paperwork if necessary.

The best place for a borewell – what to consider?

The location of a borewell is not chosen randomly. It should be located far enough away from boundaries, sewage systems and buildings. With our experience, we can find a location that complies with regulations and is easily accessible by drilling equipment. The goal is to find the best location for your borewell.

Drilling a borewell yourself – how is it done?

Once the permits are in place, we arrange a drilling time. We arrive at the site with our equipment, which does not require a lot of space. Drilling itself is an efficient procedure. We drill through the layers of soil into the rock and continue until we find a sufficient water vein. Usually, a well for a detached house is ready in a day or two.

Drilling well for a cottage in Pirkanmaa

Access to clean water is a lifeline for a cottage, and a borewell is the best way to ensure it reliably. Whether your cottage is near Tampere , Nokia , Lempäälä , Kangasala or Pirkkala , our experts know the bedrock of the Pirkanmaa region and how to build a borewell for a cottage. We make borewells for cottages that will serve you for decades. Avoid fluctuations in surface water and dependence on rainfall, the borewell is drilled deep into the rock, which provides consistent and clean water all year round. We will help you through the entire process, from the permit papers to the finished water system.

Borewell depth and price

We often ask how deep a well is needed and what it will ultimately cost. The depth depends entirely on how deep the abundant water vein is in the rock. On average, drilling depths are between 80 and 160 meters.

What determines the price of a drilled well?

The price is based on the number of meters drilled. In addition to the drilling distance, the total price is also affected by underground piping, accessories and possible equipment installations (pump, pressure tank). We always provide a clear breakdown of the costs. It is good to remember that a high-quality well is a long-term investment, not just an expense.

Well equipment and finishing

A borewell can become a functioning borewell when it is properly equipped. A high-quality submersible pump and the necessary plumbing components are installed in the well. We provide the entire package installed. Finally, the well is flushed and the water quality is verified. If necessary, we can deliver a water sample to a laboratory for examination.

Borewell maintenance

A well-made well will serve you for decades without constant maintenance. However, it is a good idea to check the condition of the system from time to time. We also offer separate  well maintenance services to ensure the operation of your system for decades to come.

Frequently asked questions about borewells

How long does drilling take?

Normally 1-2 business days.

What if there is no water?

This is extremely rare. An experienced driller will find water. If necessary, the water output can be improved mechanically. We always guarantee the agreed water output.

Can an old ring well be replaced with a drilled well?

Yes, and it is often done. It is a sure way to improve water quality and availability. A new borewell can be drilled near the old well.
