Johannesburgs #1 Plumber!

Plumbers in Johannesburg are a difficult thing to find, and when we say that we mean plumbers that are professional and reliable that will charge you a fair price. We generally serve the majority of major metropolitan areas but you can find below a list of areas where we offer our services.

• Johannesburg
• Bedfordview
• Sandton
• Roodepoort
• Boksburg
• Benoni
• Germiston

We are constantly expanding our areas as our teams grow. If you are not in the above areas give us a call and we will see if we can accommodate you.

We are not going to sit here and tell you what to do with your own property we will however advise against attempting to clean your own drain. Do it yourself methods of drain cleaning like snaking, wire hanger or pouring unknown chemicals down the drain can only fix things at the surface level or be a complete failure.

Your drains are an extremely important part of your property and one you would prefer to not have to replace. So instead of looking for the easy DIY method give your local experts at Plumbers Jhb a call!

Blocked drains are a major inconvenience in our lives, they prevent us from doing basic things like a shower in the morning and flushing the toilet. It is a problem that should be solved immediately before damage is done. Always be mindful of what you are putting down your drain.

• Avoid grease or oil going into your drain
• Use hot or boiling water to rinse away grease or oil
• Clear drain stoppers in your bath or shower
• Do not put anything besides tissue or toilet paper down the toilet
• Avoid fibrous foods from going down your drain. Rather dispose of it.

Unfortunately, things usually go wrong for us at the most inconvenient times. As the saying goes; “when it rains it pours”. Emergency plumbing issues in Johannesburg usually don’t happen during regular hours but instead decide to show themselves on the weekends or in the middle of the evening.

Let’s run through a few issues to see if you need to call us out immediately: Does the problem only affect one part of your property such as a drain, faucet or bath? If the problem is isolated to only one thing it can probably wait until Monday. Are you able to turn off a valve to prevent the issue? It can probably also wait until Monday. A burst pipe or no water? (and it’s not our fantastic South African Councillors) Then it’s probably time to give Johannesburg’s best emergency plumber a call.

Leak Detection in Johannesburg is probably best handled by the experts (us). Detecting a water leak early can be challenging but it can also save you thousands of rands. Here is what to look out for:

• Damp or squeaking floors
• Increases in the monthly water bill
• You hear water in your walls
• Not as much water pressure as you previously had
• Smell of damp
• Unexpected water in areas of the house
• Wet spots on the roof

Geysers are a tough thing to talk about as they are all different and different climates, usage and temperatures can make all the difference to a geyser’s lifespan.

Typically a geyser lasts anywhere from 8 – 14 years, routine maintenance and checkups will help extend it. Draining your geyser once a year can also help as it will remove sediment and leftover residue from accumulating. You can find more on our geyser repairs page.
