‘Diligently troubleshooted to find the problem’
If you live in the Perth metropolitan area and your water bore needs repair, call Troy on 9246 0111.
We are a family run business who have been servicing and repairing water bores in Perth for over 20 years.
….and as Tracey says in this google review ‘these guys clearly know what they are doing’
It is a good idea to check your water bore and reticulation during winter and get them serviced to be ready for summer in Perth. Call us on 9246 0111.
We are stocked up and ready to help you get your garden ready for summer in Perth. We are always ready to help you with your bore and reticulation needs on 9246 0111.
Now is the time to get your garden reticulation serviced and ready before the Summer rush. We can install a Perth water bore in your garden to help your garden flourish during the heat of a Perth summer.
From September 1st Perth each year gardeners are able to turn on their sprinklers as the winter sprinkler bans will be finished.
If your home is on mains water you can use your sprinklers two days a week. However if you have a Perth modern submersible water bore you can use your sprinklers three days a week if needed.
So run before spring run through your sprinklers and make sure they are all working. We fix, repair and service bores and retic systems, broken pipes, faulty solenoid valves, blocked sprinklers and retic coverage issues. Our electricians fix and replace retic controllers and bore pumps.
If your Perth water bore or reticulation system needs servicing or repair give the team a call on 9246 0111 or go to our website HERE .
Our specialist bore electrician recently fixed a circuit breaker that was tripping in Beechboro. Call 9246 0111.
Dave, our electrician, tested the single phase submersible pump and all the electrical tests were OK but were marginal on this Beechboro water bore.
There was an old metal start-box which was rusted out and dangerous. He replaced and rewired the start box with a new 1.5 kw rated box with matching start capacitor. Dave replaced some dangerous connections at the bore head and retested everything. Given the apparent age of the submersible pump it will likely need replacing in the next few years. We have recommended that at that time the down hole electrical cable and stainless steel draw wire is also replaced.
Dave is an excellent bore electrician and ask him why one of our customers called him a “little treasure”
We have a wealth of experiencing servicing bores and pumps throughout Perth. Give us a call on 9246 0111 or visit HERE for more information or if we can help you.

Good afternoon

We are available to help out anytime. Today is a public holiday Monday and we were able to help out when Wayne called with a question about an old well south of the river. He rang us on 9246 0111.
Wayne has an old well style bore which is one liner deep. He had removed the sprinkler to flush out a line of accumulated debris. The pump was running but he wasn’t getting any water. Unfortunately he had run the pump at a flow higher than the bore could sustain. We explained to Wayne over the phone how to prime his “orange” pump and he was set to go. That was good news as he had just sold his house and needed his bore and retic working before settlement next week. He was going to get back to us if there were any further issues with his well.
If we can help with an old style well phone one of our team on 9246 0111.
A Doubleview customer sent us this picture of his submersible pump and 3 phase motor. He and his electrician had pulled it out of his very old 32 metre submersible bore hole. They had disassembled it and electrically tested the motor.
The motor needed replacing. We attended and replaced the motor and while we were at it a new submersible pump. We replaced all down hole electrical cable which we heat shrunk to the new motor lead. We also replaced his old frayed stainless steel draw-wire but reused the existing 40 mm poly rising mainline that delivers the water. The poly pipe was all good even after several decades of service. At the same time we dosed the bore with 20 litres of chlorine to help kill the iron oxide bacteria that was evident.
Finished off with a new bore box at the bore head, reconnected and all set to go. Most Doubleview water bores are in the 30 to 60 metre deep range as a consequence of Doubleview’s elevation. If you have any questions call our team on 9246 0111.
Some Perth bore owners are telling us their very old water bores are running out of water or that it runs for a minute or two then it runs out. We can help on 9246 0111.
This can be a a problem with the reticulation system or with the pump.
Commonly it is an issue with the yield of the bore itself and the pump is pumping water out faster than it is flowing in to the bore casing.
Many people think the bore is not deep enough. At times the water table does drop & it is a depth related issue. More often the stainless steel bore screen or slotted PVC bore casing has become blocked. Sometimes the ground around the bore has reduced the water it will “allow” to flow through it.
We would try air-developing, a process where large volumes of compressed air are pumped down the bore. We can also chemically clean and restore the bore with a combination of special cleaning compounds, surfactants and clay dispersants.
If your old Perth water bore is running out of water call us on 9246 0111 and we will talk through the problem or book a service online
The sprinkler bans in Perth end at the end of August. We encourage you to only start using your Perth sprinklers when the garden needs it.
Perth bore owners have been out testing their water bores for the first time this spring. Some are faulty!
We are hearing similar stories like “I’m starting my bore and the circuit breaker is tripping or fuse is blowing, what should I do?”. We would send our specialist bore electrician Dave who has been doing this for years and is expert and experienced with water bores. He has special equipment to test the circuits & windings of the motor. We can do this without winching the pump up.
We remind our customers that if it is a fused bore pump motor it may be covered under household insurance. Also if the fault is storm related even damage from lightning induction that then this too may be subject to an insurance claim.
To have the matter attended to first by specialist bore repairers who can correctly diagnose the fault and possible cause call the team on 9246 0111 or book an online service and read more about faulty water bores HERE
Today we attended a house in Wilson. Wilson is a suburb near Riverton and Shelley on the Canning River.
The couple had lived in the house for 12 years and had a shallow old well style bore with a centrifugal pump in one concrete liner. They told us that on average they had spent $400 a year on “bandaid” fixes to the old bore which appeared to be an original DYI attempt. The centrifugal pump constantly lost prime and the water flow from the bore had been marginal. The couple have decided to bite the bullet and invest in a new trouble free submersible style water bore
Next week we will be drilling an 18 metre bore hole specifically designed for the ground conditions of Wilson. Wilson’s proximity to the river means our bore design must pay due regard to avoiding potential saline intrusion. We will install a submersible stainless steel pump that will have the same or greater flow than the existing pump so we can connect it straight into the customers existing reticulation sprinkler system with little modification. The bore will continue to be run from their existing retic controller.
The drilling sand from the new bore will be used to fill the old well.
For new water bores or bore service and repair in Wilson, Shelley or Riverton call us on 9246 0111 or visit www.virginbores.com.au for further info.
It is great to hear from happy customers and hear good reviews. Thank you! 9246 0111
Our experienced bore electrician Dave attended Russell’s Kewdale property, checked his system and supplied and fitted a new reticulation controller.
We also attended Philip’s Carine property where we replaced his .75 kw 2 wire submersible motor / pump and tested that everything was OK.
“Thank you for your teams excellent work just prior to Christmas. Having the bore operational again has been fantastic. Once again thank you and I am happy to recommend your services to anyone. Regards Phillip.”
