Most plumbing calls in Benoni fall into a handful of jobs: burst or leaking pipes, blocked drains, geyser failures and the plumbing certificate many buyers ask for when a house changes hands. Older homes in suburbs like Benoni North, Rynfield and Farrarmere often still have galvanised pipework, which corrodes from the inside and tends to fail at joints.
If water is running where it shouldn't, close the main stopcock first (usually near the meter at the front boundary), then switch off the geyser at the distribution board before calling anyone. That limits damage and gives the plumber a safe system to work on.
For geyser bursts, insurers usually want a plumber's report and photos before approving a claim, so ask the plumber you call whether they handle insurance work.
