Water Storage
A Tank That Actually Runs the House
A tank on its own only stores water. To be useful during an outage, it needs to be connected to the house plumbing, with a pump to deliver normal pressure and a float valve to refill it automatically when supply returns.
We size the tank to your household and how long outages usually last where you live, prepare a level base or stand, and connect everything with the right valves. For homes that also face power cuts, we can advise on keeping the pump running.

Underlying Causes
Gauteng Conditions Behind These Jobs
Wherever you are in the province, these are the conditions most often behind this kind of call:
When the Municipal Water Comes Back On
Most callers in Gauteng have lived through a reservoir running dry or a mains repair that shuts a whole suburb off. The cut is the nuisance; the reconnection is what breaks things. Air hammers through the lines, a ball valve sticks open, a tired joint in the roof lets go. We repair what the surge damaged, fit a pressure-reducing valve where the supply runs hot, and can add a tank with its own pump so the household carries on during the next shutdown.
Power Dips That Finish Off Thermostats
Each time the electricity drops and returns with a spike, the geyser thermostat and element absorb it. A common call in your area: the lights are back, the geyser has been on for hours, and the water is still lukewarm. Nine times out of ten the element or thermostat has failed, and both are parts our plumbers keep on hand.
Summer Cloudbursts and Overwhelmed Drains
A late-afternoon storm can drop a month's rain in an hour. Gutters overflow, gully traps fill with sand and jacaranda leaves, and stormwater that sneaks into the sewer pushes it up through the lowest manhole on the property. We clear the line with a drain machine or a jetter and look for where the rainwater is getting in.
Galvanised Pipe Near the End of Its Life
Houses put up before the late seventies in Gauteng were usually plumbed in galvanised steel. After decades of Highveld water the inside of that pipe is crusted and thin. Signs to look for: rusty water first thing in the morning, a shower that dribbles, a damp patch that keeps coming back on the same wall. Clamping one leak just moves the problem along the line, so we price a proper replacement of the worst runs as well.
