Common Plumbing Emergencies We Handle

If you are experiencing any of the following, call us immediately on 021 879 3030.

Burst Pipes

A burst pipe can flood a property rapidly. Shut off your main water supply and call us immediately for a fast response.

Severe Drain Blockages

Complete blockages causing overflow or backing up into your property require urgent professional attention.

Geyser Failures

A burst geyser or catastrophic pressure failure demands immediate action to prevent flooding and scalding risk.

Major Leaks

Significant leaks within walls, ceilings, or underfloor can cause rapid structural damage and must be addressed without delay.

Sewage Backflow

Sewage entering your property is a serious health hazard. Our team will respond urgently and resolve the problem safely.

No Water Supply

A sudden loss of water supply to your property may indicate a serious pipe failure or valve fault requiring immediate investigation.

What to Do While You Wait for Our Team

Taking the right steps immediately can significantly reduce damage to your property before our plumber arrives.

1. Locate and shut off your main water supply valve. This is usually found near the water meter or at the boundary of your property.
2. Turn off your geyser or hot water system at the electrical distribution board if the emergency involves hot water or a geyser.
3. Move valuables, furniture, and electronics away from the affected area if it is safe to do so.
4. Do not attempt to open walls or access pipework yourself — you may cause further damage or create a safety hazard.
5. Call Bob's Plumbing on 021 879 3030. Our team will guide you through any additional steps while we are on our way.

We cover the full Atlantic Seaboard including Sea Point, Green Point, Mouille Point, Three Anchor Bay, Clifton, Bantry Bay, Camps Bay, and Llandudno.
