What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is anything that is actively damaging your home, cutting off essential water, or creating a health or safety risk. The longer it runs, the more expensive the repair — and the more likely insurance will dispute the claim.

If you are unsure, send photos or a short video on WhatsApp. We will tell you honestly whether it needs an immediate call-out, can wait until morning, or can be solved with a temporary fix you can do yourself.

How fast can we get to you in Pretoria?

Average response time across Pretoria East, Centurion, Menlyn, Faerie Glen, Garsfontein, Moreleta Park and Waterkloof is under 60 minutes for true emergencies. For Pretoria North and Montana, response is typically within 60–90 minutes depending on traffic.

We are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including weekends and public holidays. No surcharge gimmicks for after-hours work.

What to do before the plumber arrives

Shut off the main water supply at the stopcock — usually located at the boundary wall or in the garden. Switch off the geyser at the DB board to prevent element damage if the tank empties. Move valuables, electronics and rugs away from the water. If there is any risk of water reaching electrical outlets or appliances, switch off the affected circuit at the DB board if safe to do so.

Then WhatsApp us at 069 620 1737 with photos. We will guide you on anything else to isolate while a plumber is en route.
