Plumbing questions we get asked
Additional charges may apply to after-hours visits. We'll confirm the applicable charges when you book.
A tripped geyser breaker, faulty thermostat or failed heating element could be the cause. Check whether the geyser breaker is off. If it trips again after being reset, leave it off and arrange a repair.
The right size depends on how many people live in your home, whether you use baths or showers, and when your household needs hot water. We can recommend a capacity that suits your usage.
We repair, supply and install geysers from all major brands, including energy-efficient models, with the certification required for the installation.
Many buildings insurance policies cover burst geysers and the resulting water damage, but the cover and exclusions vary. Check with your insurer before arranging a replacement.
A partly closed stopcock, faulty pressure regulator or leak may be restricting the flow. If neighbouring properties are also affected, there may be a municipal supply issue. Check the City of Cape Town's service alerts for your area.
A hidden leak, running toilet or leaking geyser overflow can push up your bill. Turn off all taps and make sure no appliances or irrigation systems are using water, then check the meter. If it continues registering use, there may be a leak.
Grease and food waste build up in kitchen drains, while hair and soap can block bathroom pipes. Wipes and sanitary products can obstruct toilets and sewer lines. Underground drains may also be affected by tree roots.
