Because good water shouldn’t depend on luck

Water Bore Drilling for Your Property

A good water bore can change the way you live on your land. At NRG Drilling, we’ve been helping locals around Gympie and the Wide Bay–Burnett region tap into a steady water supply for years. Whether it’s keeping your garden green, watering stock or cutting down your water bills, we’ll make it happen with the right bore for your block.


We take the time to check your land and ground conditions before a single hole’s drilled, because every site’s different. Our crew’s hands-on, experienced and easy to deal with from the first call to the final test. If you’re ready for a dependable water source that lasts, we’re just a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if my land suits a water bore?

    Most properties sit above groundwater of some kind, though the depth and yield can vary a lot from block to block. A local driller can look at your soil type, slope and nearby bore history to get a fair idea before work begins.


    Geological mapping and test drilling help confirm water quality and flow rate. Even if your neighbour’s bore performs differently, it doesn’t mean yours will.


    The right spot and method can make all the difference in how steady your supply ends up being.

  • Will a bore affect my existing water supply?

    When placed correctly, a new bore shouldn’t interfere with any nearby water sources. Each bore draws from a distinct underground layer, often sealed off from shallower water systems.


    If the bore’s planned and drilled with proper casing and depth control, it’ll run independently of tanks, dams, or neighbouring wells.


    The bigger risks come from poor siting or unsealed bores that allow cross-contamination between layers. That’s why experience matters. Knowing the local strata, pressure points and flow paths keeps each bore separate, stable and safe for long-term use.

  • How long will a new water bore last?

    A well-constructed water bore can last decades. The key’s in proper installation and ongoing care. Stainless or PVC casing helps prevent corrosion, and correct sealing stops contamination from surface water.


    Most issues come from mineral build-up, fine sediment or pump misuse. Regular cleaning and pump checks every few years keep water quality consistent and pressure strong. In regions where groundwater’s often reliable, many bores drilled 20–30 years ago are still working fine.


    Look after your bore, and it’ll keep rewarding you with water for a very long time.

How We Approach Every Water Bore

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all drilling. Every bore we build starts with a proper site lookover: soil type, water table, and how you plan to use the water all matter. Once we’ve mapped it out, we drill using solid equipment and techniques we trust.


You’ll get updates along the way, so you always know what’s happening on your property. When the bore’s complete, we’ll help with testing, pumps and advice on how to keep things flowing strong.


It’s all about getting you reliable water without the normal stress. That’s what we’ve built our name on: doing the job properly, and doing it once. We also help with bore cleaning and maintenance needs after the drilling stage.
