A step-by-step guide to how we deliver reliable water solutions in Kenya
Typical Timeline: 2-4 weeks from survey to running water
Our certified hydrogeologists meet with you to understand your water needs, property size, intended usage (domestic, agricultural, commercial), and budget. We explain the entire process, answer your questions, and schedule the hydrogeological survey.
What to expect: Free consultation, site visit, needs analysis, and preliminary cost estimate.
Using advanced electrical resistivity (VES) and magnetic profiling equipment, our team maps the subsurface geology to identify the optimal drilling location. This scientific approach achieves a 98% success rate in striking high-yield aquifers.
What to expect: 1-2 days on-site, detailed survey report with recommended drilling location, estimated depth, and predicted yield.
WaterLink Limited handles all paperwork with the Water Resources Authority (WRA) and NEMA on your behalf. We prepare the environmental impact assessment, submit applications, and follow up until permits are approved.
What to expect: 14-30 days processing time. No paperwork for you – we manage everything.
Our modern DTH or mud rotary drilling rig is moved to your site. Drilling begins at the surveyed location. We monitor progress in real-time, record geological formations, and install high-quality uPVC or steel casing as we drill.
What to expect: 1-3 days of drilling depending on depth and geology. You'll see the drilling rig in action!
A submersible pump is installed temporarily to conduct a 24-hour continuous test pumping. We measure flow rate, water level drawdown, and recovery rate to determine the sustainable yield of your borehole.
What to expect: 24-72 hours of testing. You'll receive a detailed yield report with recommended pump sizing.
Water samples are collected and sent to an accredited laboratory for comprehensive analysis including bacteriological (E. coli, coliform), chemical (pH, hardness, fluoride, iron), and physical parameters.
What to expect: 3-5 days for lab results. We recommend treatment systems if needed.
Based on the test pumping results, we install the correctly sized submersible pump (electric or solar), pressure tank, control panel, and distribution piping. For solar systems, we mount panels and install controllers.
What to expect: 1-2 days for installation. Your water system is now operational!
We test the entire system, calibrate pressure switches, and demonstrate operation to you. You receive all documentation including drilling logs, yield reports, water quality certificates, and warranty information.
What to expect: System demonstration, documentation handover, and training on basic maintenance.
WaterLink Limited provides ongoing support, annual maintenance inspections, and 24/7 emergency repair services. We're just a phone call away whenever you need us.
What to expect: Annual maintenance contracts, priority emergency response, and expert technical support.
