After Hours

What We Treat as an Emergency

An emergency is anything that is damaging the building or stopping it from being used: water you can't shut off, a ceiling coming down under a split geyser, sewage surfacing in a kitchen, an ablution block or a yard, or a business without water to run on. These are the calls we send a plumber out for at any hour.

Before we arrive, close the main stopcock or the isolating valve on that line, switch a leaking geyser off at the distribution board and keep people away from water near electrics. Once the plumber has made the site safe and found the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before work continues. Burst geysers come with the photos, report and quote your insurer usually asks for.

Scope of Work

Typical After-Hours Call-Outs

Burst Supply Line

A split pipe on a factory floor, in a roof void or under paving, with water still running.

Burst Geyser

Water through the ceiling or a tank that has split. Geyser off at the DB board, cold supply closed.

Sewage Surfacing

Main line blocked and backing up into toilets, showers, floor drains or the yard.

No Water on Site

Your property dry while the street has water, often a failed valve or a burst on your side.

Flooding After a Storm

Stormwater backing up into buildings because a drain or gully is blocked.

Failed Pump or Valve

Pressure lost to a building because a pump, float valve or main valve has failed.

Plumbing problems rarely come alone. These are the conditions that tend to sit behind this kind of call-out:

Supply Cuts and the Restart Surge

Ekurhuleni and Johannesburg Water both shut supply for maintenance and main repairs, and your area gets its share. The cut itself is the council's job. What lands on a property owner is the restart: air hammering through the lines, a pressure spike that finds the weakest joint, and a cistern or urn valve that sticks open. If something on your side lets go once the water comes back, we isolate it and repair the damaged section.

Exposed Pipes on Cold Mornings

Exposed pipework on factory walls, rooftop tanks and garden taps can freeze on the coldest Highveld mornings. Ice expands, the pipe splits, and you only find out when it thaws and starts spraying mid-morning. Lagging exposed runs before winter is cheap. If one has already cracked, we cut out the damaged length, replace it and insulate it properly.

Summer Storms and Overloaded Drains

Highveld thunderstorms dump a lot of water in a short time, and older stormwater and sewer connections around your area can't always cope. Yards flood, gullies back up and sewage can surface where the two systems are cross-connected. If water stands on site long after the rain, the line is blocked or broken. We clear and inspect the drains and tell you whether the fix is on your side or the municipality's.

Geysers After a Power Interruption

When power returns to your area after an outage, the surge can take out a geyser element or thermostat, or simply trip its breaker. Check the breaker before anything else. If it won't stay up, leave it off and book a repair; nothing is going to flood. For landlords with several units on one property, it's worth having every geyser checked at the same visit so you aren't fielding tenant calls one at a time.

FAQ

Emergency Plumber East Rand: FAQ

Short, practical answers. Ask us directly if yours isn't here.

Is there a call-out fee after hours?

Yes. Nights, weekends and public holidays carry an after-hours surcharge. We give you the amount on the phone before sending a plumber, so you can decide whether to go ahead now or book the next working day, when there is no call-out fee.

What should I do while waiting?

Close the main stopcock or nearest isolating valve, switch off any leaking geyser at the DB board, move stock or furniture away from the water and keep people clear of wet electrics.

Do you attend commercial and industrial sites after hours?

Yes. Factories, warehouses, shops, schools, churches and rental properties all use the after-hours line. Tell us about gate security or access when you call.

Can a tenant call you directly?

Yes. Many landlords give tenants 082 550 3306 for after-hours problems. We'll quote the surcharge to whoever is paying before we go out.
