Klipspringer Plumbing repairs water leaks across the far south of Cape Town. Send Zaid a photo on WhatsApp and you get the likely fault and a price range before anyone drives out. We trace it to the exact pipe, show you what we found and agree the fix with you first. You see the damp patch gone, the job photographed and an invoice that matches the quote.

When You Need Water Leak Repair

So picture the signs. You spot a damp patch on the ceiling that keeps spreading. Or the water meter ticks over while every tap is shut. Maybe a pipe let go in the night and water is pooling on the kitchen floor.

Older homes bring their own trouble. Galvanised pipes from the 1970s pinhole from the inside and the leak hides in a wall or under the slab. So you only see the stain, not the crack.

Whatever woke you up to it, the next move is simple. You photograph it, send it over. We tell you what we think it is. For wider background, see DIY Guide to Finding and Fixing Water Leaks (capetown.gov.za).

How We Fix Your Leak

You send a photo on WhatsApp. We tell you the likely fault and a price range before anyone drives out.
We arrive and confirm the leak on site, tracing it to the exact pipe or joint rather than guessing.
We show you what we found and agree the repair with you first. No work starts until you say yes.
We fix it, test it and photograph the finished job.
You get an invoice that matches the quote, plus before-and-after photos for your records or your insurer.

Water Leak Repair Costs

What drives the price? Where the leak sits and what pipe you have. A visible joint under the sink is a quick fix. A leak buried under a slab takes longer to reach. Reaching it pushes the cost up.

We quote from your photo first. Then we confirm the figure on site before we lift a spanner. If the job turns out bigger than the photo showed, you hear it from us before we carry on. The number on the invoice is the number we agreed.

Frequently asked questions

Who is responsible for fixing a water leak in my garden?

You as the homeowner fix leaks on your side of the water meter. The City handles the pipe before the meter.

Do plumbers actually fix water leaks, or just find them?

We fix the leak, not just point at it. Finding the fault is step one, not the whole job.

Is it worth repairing water leaks in an old house, or should I just patch and hope?

Patching a pinhole just moves the problem down the pipe. Proper repair stops the next leak from popping up nearby.

Should I repair the pipe or replace the whole water supply line?

One leak on sound pipe gets repaired. Several leaks or badly corroded pipe usually means the line needs replacing.

How do I report a water leak to the City of Cape Town?

Log it with the City's water and sanitation call centre or online portal for leaks on municipal pipes or meters.
