Emergencies

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

Some jobs can wait for morning. These cannot, and we treat them as urgent the moment you call:

  • A burst pipe flooding a room, ceiling or wall cavity.
  • A geyser that has burst or is pouring water into the roof or down the walls.
  • Sewage backing up into the house through drains or toilets.
  • No water at all, or water you cannot shut off.
  • A blocked drain overflowing and spreading through the property.
  • Any leak near electrics, a distribution board or plug points.

If it is causing damage now or it is a health or safety risk, phone straight away on +27 73 498 5667. If you are not sure, phone anyway and we will tell you honestly whether it can wait.

While You Wait

What To Do Right Now, Before We Arrive

A few minutes of the right action can save you thousands. Only do what is safe.

  • Close the main stopcock to stop the water at the source. It is usually at the boundary wall or where the supply enters the house.
  • For a burst or leaking geyser, switch the geyser off at the distribution board, then close its cold-water inlet valve if you can reach it without climbing into a flooded ceiling.
  • Keep clear of standing water near electrics. If water is near plug points or the DB board, do not touch it.
  • Move valuables and lift curtains and rugs away from the spreading water.
  • For sewage or an overflowing toilet, stop using every toilet, basin and appliance on that line so you do not push more water into the house.
  • Take a photo or short video if it is safe. It helps us arrive with the right parts, and it helps your insurance claim later.

Then call us. Tell us your suburb, what has failed, and whether water is still running. We will talk you through the next safe step while a plumber is on the way.

What an Emergency Plumber Costs in Johannesburg

This is the part everyone worries about at midnight, so here it is straight.

The call-out is free and the quote is free, at any hour. There is no after-hours surcharge, so the price of the job does not jump because it is late or a weekend or a public holiday. We find the fault, give you a written price, and you approve it before we start. The final cost depends on the actual repair, the parts, and how much is involved. What you will never get from us is a bigger bill than the quote you agreed to, and you will never pay a premium just because you had the bad luck to burst a pipe at 3am.
