Plumbing services we offer
- Leaks and burst pipes: we find the source, repair it and check the line holds pressure before we leave.
- Geysers: element and thermostat replacement, valves, drip trays and full geyser replacement. See geyser replacement.
- Blocked drains: kitchen, bathroom and outside drains cleared properly, not just pushed further down the line. See blocked drains.
- Toilets: running cisterns, leaking pans, faulty flush mechanisms and new toilet installs.
- Low water pressure: we trace whether the problem is a blocked valve, a geyser fault, old galvanised pipes or the municipal supply.
- Taps, mixers and showers: repairs and new fittings.
- Plumbing compliance: certificates when you sell your home. See plumbing COC.
Why Johannesburg plumbing fails
Most of the work we see comes back to a few local causes:
- Hard water. Joburg’s water leaves mineral scale in geysers, valves and shower heads. Scale shortens element life and chokes fittings.
- Old pipes. Many homes in suburbs like Norwood, Houghton and Orange Grove still have galvanised steel pipes that rust from the inside and leak at the joints.
- Pressure surges. When the municipal supply comes back after an outage, the pressure spike can crack weak joints and pressure valves.
- Tree roots. Mature trees in older suburbs push into clay and pitch-fibre drain lines.
Knowing these patterns means we check the likely cause first, which saves you call-out time.
How a call-out works
- You phone or WhatsApp us and describe the problem.
- We give you an arrival window. There’s no call-out fee: you pay only for labour and travel, plus any parts. Our average response time is 1 to 2 hours during working hours.
- Our plumber finds the cause and quotes the repair before starting.
- We do the work, test it and clean up.
