Typical Plumbing Emergencies – And Why You Must Act Fast
When plumbing fails, every minute counts. Delaying action can turn a small problem into flooding, contamination or costly repairs. Common emergencies include:
Burst geysers: can flood ceilings and walls in minutes, often damaging electrics too (See our Geyser Services »)
Burst pipes: a ruptured pipe can quickly flood your home or business, wasting water and destroying finishes
Faulty or leaking valves (PRVs, TPRs, safety valves): can cause dangerous pressure build-up or uncontrolled water flow
Blocked drains: can cause raw sewage backflow and health risks
(see Blocked Drains »)
Overflowing toilets: unsanitary and usually a sign of a deeper blockage
(see Blocked Drains »)
No hot water/geyser failure: disrupts daily life and may signal safety valve faults
(see our Geyser Services »)
EMERGENCY PLUMBING TIPS & ADVICE
Know where to find the main water shut-off and the geyser isolator switch. Shutting these off quickly can prevent flooding and property damage.
Pouring chemicals down a blocked drain or tampering with a geyser often makes the problem worse. Rather call in the experts – see our Blocked Drains » or Geyser Services » pages.
Waiting until morning doubles the risk. Call our 24-hour line: 010 001 8364.
Keep a towel or bucket handy for leaks until we arrive – but never attempt unsafe repairs.
