Specialized Geyser Burst Response and Structural Drying
When a geyser bursts in a ceiling or a heavy storm breaches a roofline in Mostertsdrift, the clock starts ticking. In Stellenbosch?s climate, moisture trapped in walls or under floorboards leads to structural rot and black mold within 48 to 72 hours. Our team provides more than just plumbing; we offer scientific water damage restoration designed to protect your property's long-term value.

Burst Geysers or burst hot water cylinders are relatively common. There is nothing worse than going away for the weekend to come home to a burst geyser or hot water cylinder.
If a hot water cylinder is properly installed, with the various overflows running to the outside correctly and with a drip tray underneath the Geyser, the damage is usually minimal.
There are cases where poor installation of hot water cylinder causes damage to ceilings floors and other household items.
It is important to have household insurance to cover a burst hot water cylinder and any unfortunate damage it causes.
Our clients with household insurance, pay us at Stellenbosch Plumbing to replace the burst hot water cylinder and they then submit the invoice to their insurance to be reimbursed.
