How it works
How long does a professional leak detection service typically take?

Here's what you need to know. Usually between one to three hours for a standard home, and this is especially relevant for your area residents. The duration depends on the property size and complexity of the pipework.

Is advanced equipment always necessary to find a leak?

For hidden leaks, yes, it's essential. It avoids breaking open walls based on guesswork, which is crucial for complying with body corporate rules in complexes and preventing unnecessary repair costs.

Will the leak detection process damage my property?

No, the entire point of non-invasive detection is to avoid damage. Methods are performed on the surface, and the technician will only mark the precise spot for repair.

When it comes to leak detection, what are the most common signs of a hidden water leak in south africa?

From a practical standpoint, look for a sudden spike in your municipal water bill, musty odours, damp patches on walls or ceilings, warped flooring, peeling paint, or the sound of running water when everything is off.

What happens after the specialist finds the leak?

The specialist will mark the exact location and provide a detailed report, often with photos. You can then give this report to your chosen plumber to perform the repair efficiently. A qualified professional can provide specific guidance for your situation.

How much does it cost to hire a Plumber in South Africa?

Plumber prices in South Africa are easier to plan for when you know the typical rates. As a guide, a call-out fee starts from around R450 and covers the Pro's travel and time to assess the job and quote. Most repairs, from leaking pipes and taps to drain unblocking, come in at about R750 including the first hour of labour, and certified gas repairs at roughly R850. Geyser repairs usually start around R750, with a full geyser installation at about R2,850 in labour, and bigger flat-priced installations reaching around R4,500. A Plumbing CoC generally costs about R850. Kandua Pros use these rates as a guide and quote competitively. Materials are quoted separately, and your final price is always confirmed upfront.
