Common geyser concerns
Look out for water around the cylinder, continuous discharge, unusual plumbing noises, inconsistent hot water or signs of corrosion. These symptoms can have different causes.
Repairs and replacements
The condition, size, age and location of the system help determine whether components can be repaired or replacement is more appropriate. Electrical faults should be handled by the relevant qualified professional.
Installation considerations
New geyser and hot-water plumbing work should follow applicable South African standards, manufacturer requirements and any required compliance procedures. Discuss the system and access arrangements before booking.
Frequently asked questions
Is a dripping geyser overflow normal?
An occasional discharge may relate to expansion, but a continuously running overflow should be assessed.
Should I switch off a leaking geyser?
For significant leaks, turn off water and electrical supply only if safe to do so, and obtain professional help.
