Local Know-How: Northern Acres

Why Plumbing Gives Trouble in Northern Acres

Most faults in Northern Acres have a local reason behind them: the age of the pipes, the trees, the slope of the land and how reliable the municipal supply is that week. These are the ones we keep coming back to:

Galvanised Pipes Past Their Prime

Many houses in the older northern suburbs were plumbed decades ago with galvanised steel. That pipe rusts from the inside, a bit like a clogged artery: the bore narrows, the far bathroom gets a trickle, the first bucket in the morning comes out brown, and one day a pinhole opens inside a wall. Patching works for a while, but when several spots go we'd rather replace the old runs with PEX, HDPE or copper.

Cold Nights in the Low Spots

Cold air settles into valleys and low-lying gardens on still winter nights, so frost often hits the bottom of a slope harder than the top. Exposed pipes on a shaded wall, a garden tap or a geyser overflow can freeze and crack, then start dripping by mid-morning. We repair the split section and lag the pipe so it survives the next cold snap.

When the Supply Cuts Out

Joburg Water maintenance, a burst main down the road or a Rand Water shutdown can leave the older northern suburbs dry for a day or more. Houses high up on a ridge lose pressure first and get it back last. When the water does return, trapped air slams through old pipes and can knock out a geyser valve or a toilet cistern. We repair what broke, and for homes and shops that are tired of waiting we install a JoJo tank with a pump that takes over by itself.

Downpours on Sloping Streets

Summer thunderstorms dump a lot of water in a short time, and on hilly roads it all runs downhill fast. Leaves, jacaranda blossom, sand and litter wash into gutters and gullies, and the property at the bottom of the slope takes the overflow. When a sewer gully spills over or a yard drain backs up after rain, we clear the blocked drain with a machine or high-pressure jetting.

You Asked

Plumbing Questions From Northern Acres

Tap a question below to read our answer.

Can I get a plumber to Northern Acres after dark?

Yes. A plumber is on duty for Northern Acres through the night, on weekends and on public holidays. Ring 082 550 3306 for anything that can't wait until morning.

Which of your two numbers should I use?

Use 082 550 3306 for emergencies, after-hours problems and WhatsApp messages. Use 087 700 7781 to book work, ask for a quote or ask a question during office hours.

Do you charge a call-out fee in Northern Acres?

Not in working hours, when coming out is free. At night, weekends and public holidays an after-hours surcharge applies, and we tell you what it is on the phone before we send anyone. We find the fault, explain it in plain terms and give you a fixed quote before starting.

How quickly can you reach Northern Acres?

We have plumbers working across Randburg and the suburbs next to it throughout the day, so one is usually close by. We'll give you an arrival estimate when you call.

Our house still has old galvanised pipes. Do they all need replacing?

Not necessarily all at once. We check how badly they've corroded and tell you whether to repair sections now or plan a full re-pipe, ideally alongside a renovation.

What can we do about the regular water cuts?

Supply cuts in Randburg are frustratingly regular, so we install JoJo tanks with pumps and pressure systems, and repair the pipes and valves that get damaged when the water comes back.

What other plumbing work do you do in Northern Acres?

Geyser repairs and new electric, solar and heat-pump geysers, blocked drains and sewers, leak detection, burst pipes, bathroom and kitchen plumbing, and JoJo tanks with pumps. Burst geyser claims come with the paperwork your insurer needs.
