Hi, I'm Jess. Tell me what's going wrong at home today.
I don't have any water????
Could be air in your pipes from municipal work. Run a tap for a couple minutes: if there's still nothing, I'll find you a plumber.

Kagiso  Molatole
Kagiso Molatole
Electrician

My company Matsabola Trading subcontracted Kagiso to install a solar-paneled geyser at an agricultural college in Muldersdrift, we hired him because of his expertise and the right qualifications that he has. Kagiso is a businessman just like me and I like how he works, you give him the job specifications and he does the job, he sticks to the timeframes and completes his work with flying colours. I have had no comebacks from his work, but should there be any problems, I know that I would be able to get ahold of him and that he will come to rectify any problems because he is dedicated.
