Burst Geyser? Hidden Leak? A PIRB Plumber, On The Way.
24/7 emergency plumbers across South Africa — insurance-ready reports included.
A geyser bursts at 02:00 on a Tuesday. A slab leak doubles your water bill before you spot it. A drain backs up the night before guests arrive. MultiMan plumbers respond around the clock with the diagnostic tools, PIRB credentials and insurance paperwork to make the problem disappear — properly, the first time.

What's included
How we run a plumbing & leak detection job.
Hidden leak detection
Acoustic loggers, thermal imaging and tracer gas pinpoint slab, wall and underground leaks — without breaking your tiles, paving or driveway to find them.
Blocked drains & sewer
Roto-rooter, electric eels and CCTV surveys to find the blockage, clear it permanently and prove the line is clean on video.
Pipe & tap installations
Mixers, isolation valves, pressure-reducing valves, copper and PEX repipes — done neatly and certified.
Insurance-ready reports
Photos, moisture maps, cause-of-loss narrative and a PIRB-aligned report that South African insurers accept the first time.
Pumps, pressure & water tanks
Booster pumps, JoJo tank installs and rainwater changeovers for load-shedding and water-shedding resilience.

2. Make safe
Water and electricity to the geyser are isolated. We protect floors, ceilings and furniture before any work starts.
3. Diagnose & quote
Fixed, written quote on-site. No surprise add-ons, no 'while we're here' upsells.

Workmanship guaranteed. PIRB CoC issued where required, and the full report is emailed to you and your insurer.

Common questions
FAQs
Are you available 24/7 in my area?
Yes — 24/7/365 in Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay and Stellenbosch, with extended-hour cover in Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Centurion and Umhlanga. Most emergency callouts are attended within 45 minutes.
Are your plumbers PIRB-registered?
Every plumber on the MultiMan team is PIRB-registered or works under direct PIRB supervision. All geyser, solar geyser and hot-water installations are signed off and issued with a PIRB Certificate of Compliance — which your insurer and conveyancer will require.
Will my insurance cover the repair?
In most cases, yes — for sudden and unforeseen events like burst geysers, burst pipes and storm-related leaks. We prepare a full cause-of-loss report with photos, moisture readings and the PIRB CoC so your claim is straightforward.
How much does a geyser replacement cost in South Africa?
A like-for-like 150L electric geyser replacement, fully installed with drip tray, vacuum breakers, isolator and PIRB CoC, typically falls in the R8,500 – R14,500 range depending on access, brand and roof type. We give you a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Can you find a leak without breaking my tiles or paving?
Yes. We use acoustic leak loggers, thermal imaging and (where needed) tracer gas to pinpoint leaks under slabs, behind walls and beneath driveways — typically within 200mm. Excavation is a last resort, not a first move.
Do you work with sectional title and estates?
Yes. We handle individual unit emergencies, body corporate common-area work, and recurring maintenance contracts. Single point of contact, one consolidated invoice.
