Emergency Plumbing FAQs — Sandton
How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Sandton?
Our guaranteed emergency response time across Sandton is 60 minutes or less from the time you call. In many central Sandton suburbs including Sandton CBD, Bryanston, Morningside, Rivonia and Hyde Park, our average response time is under 45 minutes.
We operate multiple emergency vehicles across the Sandton area around the clock, which means we always have a plumber close to you regardless of the time of day or night. Response times may be slightly longer during extreme weather events or public holiday periods when emergency volumes are higher, but we will always give you an honest ETA before dispatch.
What counts as a plumbing emergency that requires immediate attention?
Plumbing situations that require immediate emergency response include: burst or fractured pipes, active flooding inside or under your property, sewage backup or overflow in the home, complete loss of water supply, a leaking geyser causing water damage to ceilings or walls, blocked drains causing sewage to back up into the property, and any uncontrollable water flow you cannot isolate by turning off the main supply.
If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us anyway. We'll advise you honestly over the phone, and if it can wait until morning, we'll tell you that too.
Do you charge extra for emergency call-outs at night or on weekends?
There are standard after-hours rates that apply to emergency call-outs outside normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 7:00 to 18:00). However, we always provide a full written quote before starting any work, including at 2am on a Sunday. You will know the exact total cost before we begin, and there are no additional hidden charges added to your invoice.
Our after-hours rates are competitive for the Sandton area, and many clients find they are considerably lower than competing plumbers who do not provide upfront pricing.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
The single most important action is to isolate the water supply. Find your home's main water shut-off valve, usually located near the water meter at the boundary of your property or where the municipal supply enters the building, and close it completely. This will stop the flow of water and greatly reduce damage.
Additionally: move valuables, furniture and electronics away from affected areas; photograph the damage for your insurance claim; do not attempt DIY repairs unless you are a licensed plumber, as incorrect work can worsen the situation and void your insurance; and if there is any risk of water contact with electrical fittings, switch off the relevant circuit breakers at the DB board.
