What Qualifies as a Plumbing Emergency?

Not all plumbing problems require an emergency call-out, but certain issues should be dealt with immediately to prevent property damage, health risks, or further expense. If you’re facing any of the following, it’s time to call our emergency team:

• Burst or leaking pipes

• Overflowing toilets or blocked drains

• Geyser failure or severe hot water issues

• Sewer backups or bad odours

• No running water

• Sudden water pressure drops

• Gas line leaks (if plumbing includes gas systems)

Quick action during these situations is crucial. Our emergency repair team arrives quickly, diagnoses the problem, and works efficiently to get your system back in working order.

Common Emergency Plumbing Issues in Pretoria

Pretoria’s plumbing infrastructure varies widely between suburbs, older homes, and newer developments. Here are the most frequent issues we’re called to handle:

Burst Pipes

Often caused by aging infrastructure, tree roots, or water pressure surges, burst pipes can flood your home in minutes. We isolate the problem fast and perform repairs or replacements using high-quality, SABS-approved materials.

Blocked Toilets & Drains

Blocked drainage is more than inconvenient—it can cause overflows and health hazards. Using mechanical and high-pressure jetting equipment, we remove stubborn blockages with minimal disruption.

Leaking or Broken Geysers

In Pretoria, geyser emergencies are common due to mineral-heavy water, high usage, or outdated models. Our team handles everything from leaking pipes to thermostat failures and geyser bursts.

Emergency Leak Detection

Some leaks hide inside walls or underground, wasting water and damaging your structure silently. We use moisture sensors and thermal imaging to pinpoint hidden leaks quickly and accurately.

Sewer Line Issues

Sewer backups can cause bad smells, wastewater overflow, and serious hygiene risks. We inspect, diagnose, and repair sewer lines without delay.
