Our consultancy services protect your investment at every stage — from knowing where to drill to making sure your contractor actually does the job right.
Our expert is present on your site during drilling — verifying depth, checking casing specs, confirming borehole development, and signing off on water yield and quality. No cutting corners. No inflated metres. No surprises.
A contractor who knows an independent expert is on site drills a very different borehole than one who operates unsupervised. The most common ways corners get cut — inflated metre counts, undersize casing, skipped borehole development, misrepresented yield tests — are almost impossible to catch after the fact without specialist equipment on site during the work itself.
This service is for anyone who has already committed to a specific contractor but wants independent verification: NGOs and donors whose governance requires independent project oversight, developers drilling multiple boreholes across a site, or anyone who previously had a borehole fail and wants to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Why choose AquaProbe
Most drilling companies send a rig and hope for the best. We send a geologist first — it's the reason our success rate is 94% when the industry average is far lower.
Every project starts with a hydrogeological survey — CSIR-BRRI maps, satellite lineament analysis, and local drilling records — before our rig leaves the yard.
Survey, drilling, casing, pump, solar system, water treatment — all under one roof. No finger-pointing between contractors when something needs fixing.
Every borehole comes with a full completion certificate, borehole log, yield test result, and water quality report — documentation your bank, insurer, or donor will accept.
Ghanaian-owned and operated. We're reachable on WhatsApp long after the rig has left. Pump issue six months later? Call us.
Our promise to you
We stand behind every borehole we drill — in writing, not just in conversation.
Every borehole we drill is covered for 2 years against structural defects in casing and drilling workmanship — far beyond what most contractors in Ghana offer.
We install quality Italian-standard submersible pumps (Pedrollo and equivalent), backed by a 6-month manufacturer warranty on parts and workmanship.
Drilling a borehole shouldn't drain your savings in one day. Pay a deposit to start, and the balance on completion — making quality water more affordable.
Pump trouble or a question after we've left site? We respond to after-sales calls and WhatsApp messages within 24 hours — every time, no exceptions.
What clients say
My neighbour drilled twice and got nothing. After AquaProbe assessed my plot, we drilled once and hit water at 42 metres. Best GH₵1,200 I ever spent.
As a developer, I can't afford dry boreholes on every site. AquaProbe is now part of our standard pre-construction process. They've saved us tens of thousands of cedis.
We contracted AquaProbe to assess 6 community sites in the Eastern Region. Their reports helped us secure donor funding and all six boreholes are now producing clean water.
Our old borehole pump failed after 4 years. AquaProbe diagnosed it over WhatsApp, came out the next day, and had us running again same afternoon. That 24-hour promise is real.

Understanding boreholes in Ghana
Most borehole disappointments in Ghana trace back to one thing: nobody explained the geology before money changed hands. Here's what actually matters.
Covers much of southern Ghana's gold belt. Hydrogeological surveys of 2,788 boreholes in the Ashanti Region found the Birimian formation yields 30–60 litres/min with a 91% drilling success rate and an average depth of 53m — but only when the drill point is correctly sited on a weathered or fractured zone, not blindly.
Sandstones, mudstones and shales underlying much of central-northern Ghana. Published hydrogeology research shows Voltaian aquifers yield 6.2–8.5 m³/h on average — generally lower and less predictable than Birimian terrain, which is exactly why a pre-drill survey matters more here, not less.
Crystalline basement rock is essentially impermeable on its own — water only exists where chemical weathering and fracturing created pathways. Research on Tolon District boreholes recorded yields ranging from 0.3 to 36.4 m³/h on the same formation, a 100x swing that has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with where exactly you drill.
Softer, more porous formations generally mean faster drilling and shallower water tables than inland basement rock — but proximity to the sea brings its own risk: saline intrusion. Coastal boreholes need a water-quality check built into the plan from day one, not as an afterthought once the water tastes wrong.
The honest takeaway: the same geological formation can swing from a 91% success rate to total failure depending on whether the borehole is sited on a weathered zone, a fracture line, or solid unweathered rock that happens to look identical from the surface. A contractor who skips the survey isn't taking a small risk with your money — they're taking a coin-flip with it.
Under the Water Resources Commission Act (Act 522, 1996) and the Drilling Licence and Groundwater Development Regulations 2006 (L.I. 1827), all groundwater in Ghana is a resource vested in the state — not the landowner. Drilling without a WRC Water Drilling Licence is illegal, regardless of whether the borehole is on your own land. The WRC has publicly stated it will sanction unlicensed drilling, and only contractors listed on the WRC's published Drilling Licence Register (Categories A, B, and C, based on rig count) are legally authorised to drill.
There's also a real health angle: a 2020 study of wells and boreholes in Dodowa, Greater Accra, found that the majority of sampled boreholes were contaminated with faecal matter — almost always traceable to poor siting near pit latrines or septic systems, something a proper site survey is specifically designed to catch before drilling, not after.

Is it safe to drink?
Some water quality issues in Ghana are completely invisible without testing. Here's what actually varies by region, and what to do about it.
Common in Ashanti, Eastern and Western regions. Water can look orange or taste metallic. An iron filter usually solves it.
Elevated levels in parts of Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions. Long-term exposure causes dental and skeletal fluorosis. Reverse osmosis required if high.
Saline intrusion affects shallow coastal aquifers in Greater Accra and the Central Region coast. Reverse osmosis needed for drinking water.
Can occur anywhere a borehole is sited too close to a latrine or septic tank — a siting issue, not a geology one. UV steriliser or chlorination fixes it.

Borehole stopped producing water? Pump failing? Water gone rusty? Most borehole problems in Ghana are fixable without redrilling — at a fraction of the cost.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No water at all | Pump failure or electrical fault | Pump inspection & repair |
| Reduced yield | Silting or pump wear | Flushing or redevelopment |
| Rusty/orange water | High iron or corroded casing | Water test + iron filter |
| Pump tripping breaker | Motor overload or wiring fault | Electrical diagnosis |
Pump service from GH₵600. Full rehabilitation from GH₵2,000. 24-hour response on every repair job.
WhatsApp for emergency repair →Pump inspection, service and replacement across all major brands. Borehole flushing and jetting to remove accumulated silt and restore original yield. Full borehole rehabilitation including redevelopment, screen cleaning and a yield re-test. Casing inspection and repair, electrical and control system diagnosis, and water quality testing with treatment system installation where needed.
Do not abandon a borehole or order redrilling before having it properly assessed — AquaProbe has restored boreholes that other contractors told clients were "finished." The aquifer is almost always fine; the problem is usually the pump, silting, or a casing fault, all of which are repairable at a fraction of redrilling cost.
