Water is more than a basic necessity—it is the foundation of life, growth, and progress. Whether you are a homeowner, farmer, industrial developer, builder, or commercial user, a well-planned borewell becomes your most dependable and sustainable source of groundwater. Yet, most people don’t know how to plan, drill, and maintain a borewell the right way. As a result, they face recurring failures, low water discharge, collapsing bores, damaged motors, or contaminated water.
This comprehensive handbook is designed to empower you with clear, simplified, and practical knowledge. At Vishal Borewell Drilling Service, we believe that informed customers make better decisions—and better decisions lead to long-lasting water solutions.
With more than two decades of experience, modern drilling technology, scientific surveys, ethical practices, and uncompromised standards, we help you create a borewell that performs consistently and stays healthy for decades.
1. What Exactly Is Borewell Drilling?
A Simple Explanation for Everyone
Borewell drilling is the process of penetrating the earth’s layers—soil, gravel, clay, and hard rock—to access underground aquifers. Unlike open wells, borewells reach deep and tap into stable water reserves. When executed scientifically, a borewell offers continuous and safe water for:
-
Household needs
-
Agriculture and irrigation
-
Factories and construction
-
Commercial and industrial operations
-
Residential societies and institutions
At Vishal Borewell, we combine geophysical expertise with advanced rigs to ensure drilling accuracy, maximum depth optimization, and long-term borewell stability.
2. Why Selecting the Right Borewell Contractor Matters More Than Anything
Drilling a borewell is not just about making a hole in the ground. It involves:
-
Understanding geology
-
Identifying the right water zone
-
Ensuring accurate drilling
-
Installing durable casing
-
Selecting the correct motor
-
Following CGWA-aligned practices
-
Safeguarding water quality
-
Maintaining long-term borewell health
A wrong contractor can cause:
❌ Borewell collapse
❌ Incorrect depth or wrong location
❌ Poor water yield
❌ Motor burnout
❌ Sand entry and contamination
❌ Wastage of money and permanent damage
Vishal Borewell Drilling Service stands out because of its professional approach, transparent pricing, honest guidance, and customer-first service. We follow strict safety measures, ethical business policies, and quality standards that protect your investment for years.
3. Borewell Drilling Process Explained Step-By-Step
(From Groundwater Survey to Final Commissioning)**
This section highlights exactly how professional borewell drilling should happen.
Step 1: Scientific Groundwater Survey
Before drilling begins, you must identify the most promising water-bearing zone. Our team performs:
-
Electrical resistivity surveys
-
Magnetic field analysis
-
Geophysical mapping
-
Hydrogeological evaluation
-
Site feasibility check
These tests help us choose a location where groundwater availability is highest. This reduces the risk of dry or low-yield borewells.
Step 2: Mobilisation of Drilling Rig
We deploy the appropriate rig based on your location’s geological structure:
-
Rotary drilling rigs for soft soil and mixed strata
-
DTH (Down The Hole) rigs for hard rock formations
-
High-pressure compressors for deep penetration
Our machines are maintained regularly to ensure safe and efficient performance on-site.
Step 3: Drilling the Borewell
The actual drilling process involves:
-
Maintaining vertical alignment
-
Recording depth profiles
-
Monitoring changes in soil and rock layers
-
Adjusting drilling pressure as needed
-
Maintaining borewell diameter consistently
We keep customers updated throughout the process so they understand what is happening under the ground.
Step 4: Casing Pipe Installation
Casing is one of the most important components of a borewell. It prevents bore collapse, blocks soil entry, and maintains water purity.
We use:
-
CM pipes
-
PVC casing pipes (ISI-certified)
-
MS casing (for rocky areas)
-
Vee Wire Screens (where required)
This protects the borewell structure for years.
Step 5: Gravel Packing
Gravel packing improves water inflow and filters the aquifer naturally. It also prevents sand from entering the borewell.
We use:
-
Clean graded gravel
-
Scientifically measured gravel levels
-
Proper distribution from bottom to top
Step 6: Borewell Development
After drilling, we clean and develop the borewell using:
-
High-pressure air compressor
-
Water jetting
-
Chemical-free flushing methods
-
Bacteria and silt removal techniques
This step significantly improves water discharge and quality.
Step 7: Pump & Motor Selection
A borewell performs only as well as the pump installed inside it. That’s why we help you select:
-
The right submersible motor
-
The correct HP rating
-
Accurate stage design
-
High-quality cable & safety accessories
We install only genuine pumps that match the borewell depth and yield.
4. Why Long-Term Borewell Maintenance Is Essential
A well-maintained borewell can last 15–25+ years.
A poorly maintained borewell begins failing within 2–5 years.
Without regular maintenance, you may face:
-
Low water output
-
Muddy or sandy water
-
Bacterial contamination
-
Motor overheating
-
Blocked bore screens
-
Increased electricity bills
Proper maintenance saves money, improves motor life, and ensures clean water availability.
5. Detailed Borewell Maintenance Practices
(Everything You Must Do)
A. Periodic Borewell Cleaning (Every 12–18 Months)
We perform:
-
Air compressor cleaning
-
Water flushing
-
Silt & debris removal
-
Biocide treatment (safe and optional)
-
Gravel rejuvenation
Clean borewells improve water flow and pump efficiency.
B. Motor & Pump Maintenance
We check:
-
Cable joints
-
Valves
-
Foot pipes
-
Starter panels
-
Electrical connections
We detect early faults and prevent major breakdowns.
C. Water Quality Testing
We test:
-
pH levels
-
Hardness
-
TDS
-
Iron content
-
Contamination indicators
If required, we recommend appropriate filtration or treatment.
D. Borewell Recharge Through Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting extends borewell life dramatically.
Our recharge pits direct clean roof or surface rainwater back into the earth, improving groundwater levels year after year.
Vishal Borewell is known for:
-
Designing scientific recharge structures
-
Building percolation pits
-
Sand–gravel filtration pits
-
Dual pit recharge systems
This eco-friendly approach helps customers secure lifelong water availability.
6. Common Borewell Problems and Their Practical Solutions
1. Reduced Water Output

Solution: Casing repair + cleaning
3. Motor Tripping or Burning
Cause: Low voltage / overload / jammed impeller
Solution: Motor service + wiring check
4. Borewell Collapse
