Hot Water Back On
Old Geyser? Here Is the Honest Answer
Many Boksburg family homes still run the geyser that came with the house. Hard water has caked the element. Load-shedding surges have hammered the thermostat. The tank is rusting from the inside. Sometimes a new element or thermostat will do. Sometimes it is time.
We tell you which, straight. If it is a replacement, the new geyser goes in with the right valves, a drip tray and a proper overflow. Want a smaller electricity bill? Ask about solar or a heat pump. Burst geyser? We supply the paperwork for your insurance claim.
On the Job List
Geyser Trouble We Sort Out
It Burst
Water through the ceiling. We drain it, pull it out and fit a new one with a drip tray.
Cold Water
Element or thermostat gone, often after a power surge. Tested and replaced.
Dripping Overflow
A pressure valve or vacuum breaker letting water by. Repaired or swapped.
Takes Forever to Heat
Usually scale on the element, or a geyser too small for the family. We find out which.
Want Lower Bills
Solar geysers and heat pumps fitted, or your existing geyser converted.
Service It Before It Fails
New anode, a descale and a safety check on the valves.
Local Conditions
What Is Behind These Jobs in Boksburg
Same suburbs, same causes. Here is what we run into over and over:
Scale Choking the Geyser
Our Highveld water is hard. The scale settles on the element and thermostat, so the geyser runs longer for the same hot water and the electricity bill climbs. A descale, a fresh anode and a new element where needed buys an old geyser years. Book a geyser service before it fails, not after.
Lights Back On, Water Still Cold
Power cuts and surges are rough on geysers. The electricity returns in Boksburg, but the shower stays cold. Nine times out of ten it is a blown element or a cooked thermostat. We test both and replace what has gone, usually in one visit.
Water Off, Then Bang
Ekurhuleni shuts the supply. Hours later it comes back with a rush of air and pressure. That is when the pipes knock, the taps cough and an old joint somewhere in Boksburg lets go. Open one tap slowly to bleed the air out. Still dripping afterwards? Call us. We fix the leak, fit a pressure-control valve and can add a JoJo tank with a pump so the next cut hardly matters.
Galvanised and Copper Past Their Prime
Plenty of houses in and around Boksburg were plumbed in galvanised steel or copper the day they were built. Galvanised rusts from the inside out. Copper springs pinholes. Brown water, a weak shower and damp spots on the wall are your warning. Ignore them and you get a burst. We swap out tired pipework a section at a time or all in one go.
Water Where It Shouldn't Be in Boksburg?
Close the stopcock first. If the geyser is the culprit, flip its switch off at the DB board too. Then phone 082 550 3306, day or night. Not urgent? Book on 087 700 7781 during office hours.
