Aquarian Drilling

Aquarian Drilling provides professional water bore drilling, bore repairs, pump services, specialist bore electrical and reticulation repairs throughout Melville and Perth’s southern suburbs. With over 30 years of experience, we install, diagnose and repair water bore systems for established residential properties, gardens and irrigation systems. From older bore and pump installations through to new water bores, we assess the complete system and provide practical solutions suited to the property and its watering requirements.

Melville Ground Conditions & Water Bore Drilling

Water bore systems in Melville can vary considerably in age and construction. Established properties may have older bore, well or pump installations that have been modified over many years, while newer systems may use submersible pumps and modern electrical controls. Understanding what is already installed is an important part of correctly diagnosing a problem.

When a Melville bore loses water, pressure or reliability, the fault may be with the pump, electrical controls, non-return valves, pipework, bore condition or reticulation system. Aquarian Drilling assesses the complete installation rather than automatically assuming the bore itself has failed.

For new water bores, we consider the proposed bore location, drilling access, groundwater conditions and the property's irrigation requirements. The completed pump and control system is then selected to suit the bore conditions and required water demand.

Water Bore Drilling & Repair Experience in Melville

Aquarian Drilling has extensive experience drilling, repairing and maintaining water bore systems throughout Melville and Perth’s southern suburbs. Our work includes new bore drilling, centrifugal and submersible pumps, electrical controls, bore rehabilitation and repairs to bore-fed reticulation systems.

Established Melville properties can have bore systems that have been operating for many years, sometimes with pumps, controllers or reticulation components replaced or modified over time. When problems develop, we investigate the complete installation to determine whether the fault is with the bore, pump, electrical equipment, pipework or irrigation system.

Where an existing bore remains serviceable, repairing or upgrading the pumping and control equipment can often be considered before complete replacement. For new installations, we design the bore, pump and controls around the groundwater conditions encountered and the property's irrigation requirements.

FAQs

How deep are water bores in Melville?

Water bore depth in Melville varies between properties depending on groundwater levels and the ground conditions encountered. The depth of neighbouring bores can provide useful information, but it should not be treated as a guarantee of the depth or yield that will be achieved on another property.

My old Melville bore has stopped working — does it need replacing?

Not necessarily. Loss of water or pressure can be caused by the pump, electrical controls, non-return valves, pipework, reticulation system or deterioration within the bore itself. Aquarian Drilling can inspect the complete system to identify the fault before recommending repair, rehabilitation or replacement.

Do you handle pump repairs and replacements?

Yes, we repair, replace, and recommission both submersible and centrifugal pump systems.

Can you provide a quote for bore drilling or repairs?

Yes. We provide quotations for new water bore installations and can assess existing bore, pump and reticulation systems before recommending repairs. Diagnostic and site assessment charges may apply depending on the work required.
