What we do
Plumbing Services
Leak Detection
If you’ve noticed bubbling walls, an unexplained high water bill, or a meter that keeps running, we use advanced technology — including thermal leak detection, tracer gas detection, sound correlation, and moisture meters — to accurately pinpoint leaks and save you time and money.
General Plumbing & Maintenance
From installing dishwashers to fixing running toilets and leaking taps, Bob takes care of everything — including appliance connections, tap and toilet repairs, geyser repairs, and preventative maintenance.
Drain Cleaning / Camera Inspections
Blocked or collapsed drain? No problem — we use roto-rooters, high-pressure jets, mechanical augers, and CCTV drain cameras to identify the issue, then advise whether to reline or replace the affected pipe — no guesswork involved.
Geyser Installations
All geysers are installed to standards, with services including high-pressure geyser installations, solar and instant water heaters, insurance reports and compliance certificates, plus full image reports after installation.
Certificates of Compliance (COC)
Selling your property? We issue Schedule 4 Plumbing Certificates for transfers and insurance.
Pumps & Water Filtration
Looking to go green? We install PV solar systems, thermal solar geysers, and hydronic heating systems to help you save energy and reduce costs. We repair and install variable speed drives, and borehole, well point, and rainwater filtration systems, and also offer water analysis for microbial and chemical quality.
