Hidden Leaks
Where the Water Is Actually Going
Older Boksburg houses hide leaks well. Galvanised pipes rust through under the floor. Copper pinholes inside a wall. Clay soil moves every season and pulls at buried lines. Then the water returns after an outage and the pressure finds the weak spot.
We do not guess and dig. Listening gear, thermal imaging and pressure tests point us to the spot, so we only open what we have to. Then we fix the pipe and write it up, which helps if you are querying a municipal bill or claiming.
On the Job List
Leaks We Track Down
Underground Line
Between the meter and the house. Usually old pipe plus moving soil.
Inside Walls and Floors
Damp, mould, lifting tiles or a warm patch underfoot.
Bill Out of Nowhere
Ekurhuleni account doubled? We trace where the water is going.
Running Toilet
A cistern that never stops wastes a surprising amount. Quick fix.
Garden and Pool
Irrigation and pool plumbing leaks found and repaired.
Geyser Fittings
Slow drips from geyser valves and stopcocks stopped before they rot the ceiling.
Local Conditions
What Is Behind These Jobs in Boksburg
Same suburbs, same causes. Here is what we run into over and over:
Moving Ground, Hidden Leaks
East Rand clay swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, tugging at buried pipes every season. Water bill jumped? A patch of lawn that never dries out? There is probably a leak underground. Our leak detection finds it without digging up the whole garden.
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 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.
Cold Snaps and Split Pipes
July nights get properly cold. Pipes on outside walls, geyser overflow lines and garden taps can freeze and crack. You only find out when the sun warms them and they start spraying. We repair the split and lag the exposed runs so next winter is quieter.
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.
