What this service covers
- Burst pipe repair
- Copper and PEX pipework
- Galvanised pipe replacement
- Pressure testing
Older North Johannesburg properties often combine copper, PEX and ageing galvanised lines. When a pipe bursts or begins leaking, the repair should consider the condition of the surrounding section, not only the visible hole.
A contractor can isolate the line, repair the failed section, test pressure and advise whether a larger repiping plan would reduce future damage.
Good pipe repairs are neat, accessible where possible, and documented clearly for owners, tenants or insurers.
How to prepare before the plumber arrives
Take photos of visible damage, clear access to the affected area, and avoid opening walls or ceilings unless a contractor advises you to do so. If water is active, shut the main supply and isolate the geyser if hot water is involved.
