Professional Burst Pipe Repairs in Randburg
In plumbing, few words hit harder than "burst pipe." You wake up, step onto your kitchen floor, and it's wet. That's what happened to a client in Fairland last winter. A pipe behind their bathroom wall gave out during the night. By morning, water had soaked their floors, damaged cupboards, and leaked through to the ceiling below.
If you've ever had that gut-drop moment — where you notice water where it shouldn't be — you're not alone. We see it almost every week. Burst pipes are common in Randburg homes, especially in older properties like those in Fairland, Northcliff, and Linden.
Our Professional Repair Process
When a pipe bursts, speed matters. But so does the fix. We don't just slap on a patch and go. We isolate the problem, find the cause, and fix it properly. And if it looks like other pipes are close to failing, we'll show you — not scare you — and give you options.

We assess the situation and provide guidance on minimizing damage while scheduling our visit.

System Check

What to Do If You Suspect a Burst Pipe
- Turn off your main water supply. Usually near your water meter or outside tap.
- Shut off your geyser. That prevents overheating or further damage.
- Call us to schedule an assessment.
We'll talk you through what to check next and arrange a convenient time to visit.
Why Randburg Homes Are Prone to Burst Pipes
We've worked on hundreds of homes in Randburg. Here's what we've learned:
- Old plumbing: Many Fairland and Linden homes were built before 1980. If the pipes haven't been replaced, they're probably overdue.
- Cheap renovations: Some burst pipes we fix were caused by bad workmanship during kitchen or bathroom renos.
- Temperature swings: Cold winter nights followed by warm mornings can make older pipes expand and contract, which weakens them over time.
- High water pressure: Some areas in Johannesburg experience sharp pressure spikes at night, which stresses old pipe joints.
