Welcome to Hillson Drilling

The team recently hit a whopper in The Midlands, KZN. This hole is capable of producing water at 72,000 liters PER HOUR. Needless to say we have a very happy client.

A beauty of a borehole recently completed in Wartburg area, KZN. The video shows the final blow yield which was about 36,000 litres per hour. This is a fantastic borehole and no doubt will be a valuable asset for our client. To top it off, the borehole became an artesian well where the water flows naturally from the hole without even needing a pump!

This is a seriously impressive borehole, we believe yielding in excess of 120,000 litres of water per hour! Needless to say we have a happy client.

How badly was the drilling rig stuck yesterday 🤣🙈? The answer is really bad. Luckily our farming client was super helpful and came to our rescue with back up 👷🏼🚑 📍Richmond, KZN

Drilling on the coast of KZN can be a challenge! Penetrating through the sand is a messy affair. This hole was completed at 150m depth.

A very lucky client in Eshowe. This hole was 100m deep and yielded over 30,000 liters per hour!

A recent installation completed featuring borehole pump, manhole cover to conceal borehole (see if you can spot this neat installation in pic one), multiple JoJo tanks, filtration system and booster pump. The second pic is showing off our electrical skills 😜😎

Happy customers in Durban North after securing their own water supply 😎👍💦

One of our teams is busy in Hillcrest. The rise in water supply issues in the area is a huge concern for residents and business owners.

Wishing all our clients, colleagues and friends a prosperous 2025. We are starting the new year with a throwback article featuring Dave in the newspaper. Way back then, he cited the issue of incompetent borehole drilling companies constructing sub par boreholes, causing headaches for their clients. This could not be more true today. We have received a record number of calls, asking us to help fix boreholes which have failed. Our advice is to read the reviews online (Google and Facebook are useful tools) and get references before appointing your contractor. Also remember that cheaper does not mean it's better. Yes, we also have our issues with holes where we are challenged by the rock or sand conditions. The key is that we won't give up or run away until you have water flowing.
