We reply on the same working day.

We handle plumbing, drains, geysers, septic systems, water damage and water treatment for one household at a time. Our work is for long-time owners of older far south homes, where clay sewer lines and galvanised pipes come with the territory. Every service has its own page, so a burst pipe, a blocked drain and a tired geyser each have a place to land. Send a photo on WhatsApp. We tell you what it is and which service fixes it.

Plumber

Water on the kitchen floor at midnight, a mixer that drips or a leak you can hear but cannot find: this is where most calls start. If a pipe has let go, Burst pipe repair is the one you want, while a leak hiding in a wall is a job for Leak detection and anything after hours goes to Emergency plumbing. Older houses throw up plenty of these, so start with the one that matches what you can see.

Drainage Service

A slow drain, a smell in the garden or water backing up in the yard usually means the problem sits underground. To see what is going on, Drain camera inspection shows you the blockage on screen, while Blocked drain clearing gets it flowing again and Sewer line repair handles a broken line under the ground. Old clay pipes and tree roots are common down here, so it helps to know which one you are dealing with.

Geyser Services

No hot water, a drip from the ceiling or a geyser you know is on its last legs brings most people here. A geyser that has burst is one for Burst geyser and insurance claims, an old unit that needs swapping goes to Geyser replacement and if you want to talk options first, Geyser installation covers a new one. We would rather fit the right size than sell you more than you need.

Septic System Service

Homes off the main sewer rely on a septic system and when it slows or smells you need to know why. A regular check keeps things running, while a full tank needs emptying before it backs up.

Water Damage Restoration Service

After a burst pipe or geyser, the mess left behind is its own job and often there is a claim to sort too. Cleaning up the water is one thing and getting the paperwork right with your insurer is another.

Water Treatment Supplier

If your tap water tastes off or you want cleaner water for drinking and cooking, a filter sorts it. A small unit under the sink handles the tap you drink from, while a whole-house setup treats the water coming in.

Frequently asked questions

How do I tell which of these is the one I actually need?

Start with what you can see or hear. A pipe that has let go points to burst pipe repair, a slow or smelly drain points to drain clearing or a camera inspection and no hot water points to geyser repair or replacement. If it is not clear, send us a WhatsApp photo and we will tell you what it is and which page to read next.

Can two of these services run together on the same job?

Often, yes. A burst pipe or geyser usually brings water damage cleanup and an insurance claim along with it and a blocked drain sometimes needs a camera inspection before we can clear it. Where a job crosses into another service, we say so on that job's own page. If you are not sure whether your problem needs one visit or two, tell us what happened and we will work it out with you.

What should I have ready before I get in touch about any of these?

A photo on WhatsApp of the problem area, roughly when it started and whether the property is your home or a rental you manage. If it is water damage or a burst geyser, note whether you plan to claim on insurance, since that changes what we prepare on our side. From there we can tell you which service fits and what happens next.

Why might two jobs from this list end up priced so differently?

The price moves on how deep the problem sits (a tap washer versus a sewer line under the garden), how much of the old pipework or geyser needs replacing rather than repairing and whether we can access the area easily or need to open up a wall or dig. The only way to get a real number is to send us a photo or have us out to look, since a job like this is rarely the same twice. Once we have seen it, you get a quote before any work starts and the invoice matches that quote.
