A water leak is the one building problem that gets more expensive every hour you leave it. It damages what it runs through, and on a municipal meter you pay for every litre of it. We find them and fix them rather than guessing and re-opening the wall.
Known for the inner city — high-rise commercial and residential blocks, converted industrial buildings and dense mixed-use precincts, much of it on ageing distribution infrastructure, Johannesburg CBD keeps our teams busy across every kind of project, from a single bathroom to a full build.
Johannesburg CBD is governed by City of Johannesburg for building control, and by the National Building Regulations for how the work is actually built. We work to both, which is why our quotes include the approval stage rather than treating it as your problem.
Plumbing services we provide in Johannesburg CBD
Leak detection & repair
Tracing hidden leaks under floors and in walls, then repairing and making good rather than leaving a hole.
Burst pipes & emergencies
Isolating, repairing and getting the water back on, including the damage a burst leaves behind.
Geysers
Installation, replacement and repair, including correct valves, drip trays, overflows and vacuum breakers.
Blocked drains
Clearing blockages and, where they keep recurring, investigating the drain rather than clearing it again every few months.
Bathroom & kitchen plumbing
Supply and waste for new layouts, mixers, cisterns, wastes and traps.
Re-piping & new installations
Replacing failed galvanised and old copper, and first-fix plumbing for new builds and extensions.
Taps, mixers & sanitaryware

Water pressure & valves
Diagnosing pressure problems and fitting pressure control, isolation and non-return valves where they belong.
What we see in Johannesburg CBD
One defect, several unhappy owners
In blocks around Johannesburg CBD, a single failed waterproofing detail or blocked stack can damage several units. Fixing it properly means finding the source rather than repairing the ceiling it came through — and putting in writing what was wrong, which is what the body corporate will need.
Decades of small alterations
Very few older properties in Johannesburg CBD still match their original plans. Garages get enclosed, patios get roofed, cottages appear at the back. Each change is minor; together they mean nobody knows where the drains run or which additions were ever approved. Sorting that out is often the first real task of a renovation.
Building where space is tight
Stands in Johannesburg CBD leave little room between buildings, which affects everything: where material is stored, how rubble leaves, scaffolding, and how close we can work to a boundary wall. It is all workable, but it has to be planned rather than improvised.

Plumbing in Johannesburg CBD — your questions answered
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Close every tap and appliance and watch the water meter. If it is still turning, water is going somewhere. That single check finds most hidden leaks, and it is worth doing before you call anyone.
My geyser burst — what now?
Close the geyser isolating valve and switch it off at the distribution board, then call us. Most household insurance covers geyser replacement, and we quote and document for the claim.
Do you issue a plumbing certificate of compliance?
Where your municipality, insurer or conveyancer requires one, we carry out the inspection and issue it. Requirements differ between municipalities, so tell us what has been asked for and we will confirm exactly what applies.
Why do my drains keep blocking?
Repeated blockages in the same place usually mean something structural — a collapsed section, roots, or a fall that is too flat. Clearing it again treats the symptom. We would rather find out why.
Can you repair the wall after the leak?
Yes — that is the advantage of using a building contractor for plumbing. Plaster, tiling, ceilings and paint are all in-house, so the repair is finished rather than left open for someone else.
What about the geyser’s electrical connection?
Electrical work is handled by Sirius Bright, our electrical arm, who can issue the Certificate of Compliance for it — so both halves of a geyser replacement are covered properly.
