What to Do If Your Water Bore Stops Working: The End-to-End Solution

You’re standing there, hose in hand, waiting for the water that never comes. Your bore’s stopped working, and now you’re left wondering: What happened? Who do I call? Is this going to be a nightmare to fix? 

If you’ve been Googling “bore repairs near me” or trying to decode why your once-reliable bore is now a silent lump of metal and pipe, breathe easy, we’ve got you. 

At BD Water, we don’t just fix bores. We deliver fully integrated water solutions. That means we handle every process step: diagnosis, repair, licensing, compliance, drilling, and anything else your property might need to get flowing again. One team. One point of contact. One seamless solution. 

Let’s walk you through what you should do (and not do) when your water bore stops working. 


Step 1: Don’t Panic, But Don’t Delay Either 

Water bores can stop working for a bunch of reasons. Sometimes, it’s simple, like a blown fuse or blocked screens. Other times, you’re looking at collapsed casing, dry aquifers, or aged infrastructure that’s decided it’s had enough. 

The key? Don’t sit on it. The longer you wait, the worse (and often more expensive) the problem becomes. A trickle today could mean a full-bore replacement next month. 

Searching for bore repairs near me will bring up many options, but here’s where you need to be smart: not all providers are created equal. Some might only do electrical. Others might offer pump servicing. And nearly none will walk you through licensing or compliance if major work is needed. 

At BD Water, we’re not just fixers; we’re problem solvers. From minor hiccups to complete system overhauls, we’ve got the gear, the knowledge, and the licensing know-how to restore your bore to its former glory. 

Common Water Bore Problems and What They Mean 

Is it a mechanical fault? A water quality issue? Something deeper underground? 

Let’s break down some typical water bore problems

This could be a sign of pump failure, low water levels in the aquifer, or a blocked screen. It might also mean the bore has caved in, yes, that happens. 

Often, this means your system can’t build enough pressure. It could be a leak, a pressure tank issue, or a failing pressure switch. 

You might be pulling in sediment due to screen damage or aquifer contamination. That’s not just a water quality issue; it’s a system killer if left untreated.

This one’s common if there’s a leak in suction lines or a drop in water table levels. 

Each issue has its fix, but many providers fail to diagnose it correctly the first time. BD Water’s holistic approach means we check not just the obvious but the entire system -groundwater access, pumping efficiency, infrastructure, and compliance. There are no band-aid solutions here. 

Why a Professional Bore Service is Your Best Move 

We get it, when something breaks, the instinct is to find a quick fix. Maybe call the neighbour’s mate who’s good with pumps. But when it comes to bores, cutting corners can cost you thousands. 

A proper bore service isn’t just about changing a part, it’s about evaluating the whole system, from source to outlet. That’s where BD Water’s integrated team comes in. 

Here’s what a full BD Water bore service includes: 

  • Site inspection and diagnostic testing 
  • Water flow and pressure assessments 
  • Compliance check (we make sure your bore is still legally operating) 
  • Bore camera inspection, if needed 
  • Pump and electrical component testing 
  • System recommendations based on actual data 

We’ll never upsell. If it’s a five-minute fix, we’ll tell you. But if it’s something more complex, we’ll map out your options cost-effectively and in plain English. 


Solving More Than Just Bore Repairs 

You’d be surprised how often bore issues are tied back to licensing or non-compliant infrastructure. That’s where most providers tap out right when things get tricky, but not us. 

BD Water integrates licensing, irrigation, drilling, and compliance into a single service. That means when your bore needs work, we’re not just showing up with a toolbox, we’re bringing a full team of experts ready to handle every piece of the puzzle. 

We even work with councils, developers, and regulatory bodies on your behalf. So, if your bore failure has triggered a compliance issue or you’re expanding your system, we can manage the whole process without you lifting a finger (except to call us).
