Plumbing in Honeydew
What We Fix for Honeydew Properties
Plenty of homes in and around Honeydew went up when Roodepoort was still a mining town, and their plumbing shows its age. Galvanised steel narrows with rust, old clay sewers crack, and geysers sit in the roof battling hard water. We know what to look for, so visits stay short and repairs last.
The plumbers we send to Honeydew are qualified and insured, and they arrive ready to repair, replace or maintain. Ring 082 550 3306 as soon as something breaks, or 087 700 7781 to arrange a visit in office hours.

Seen It Before in Honeydew
Common Plumbing Faults Around Honeydew
Hard water, old mine-era pipework, ridge-top pressure, big trees and the odd supply cut: in Honeydew the same handful of causes are behind most call-outs. Here's what we run into most:
Pressure on the Ridges
Around Kloofendal, Roodekrans and the other ridges, water pressure is all about height. Houses near the top can get a dribble at peak times, while homes at the foot of the hill take so much pressure that taps, ball valves and geyser fittings wear out early and old joints start to weep. We fit pressure-reducing valves where it's too high, booster pumps where it's too low, and bring in leak detection when the meter keeps turning.
Steel Pipes From the Mining-Town Days
Roodepoort grew up around the gold mines, and many of the older houses around your part of the West Rand still run on the galvanised steel that went in when they were built. After decades of West Rand water the inside of that pipe is crusted with rust. The flow gets weaker, the first water of the day runs orange, and eventually a joint weeps inside a wall. One or two repairs are fine. Once leaks start appearing in different rooms, it's time to re-pipe the worst runs in PEX, copper or HDPE.
Roots Working Into the Sewer
Big established trees in your street need water, and in a dry winter the old clay sewer line is the easiest place to find it. Fine roots slip in at the joints, then swell into a thick plug that catches paper and fat. Slow toilets and a yard gully that bubbles after the washing machine drains are the early signs. We cut the roots, run a camera to see how badly the pipe is cracked and replace the broken length.
Dry Taps During Supply Cuts
Rand Water work on the bulk lines or a Joburg Water main that bursts under a busy road can leave your part of the West Rand without water for a day, sometimes longer. Properties up on the ridges feel it first, because the little pressure that is left can't push water uphill. When supply comes back, the air rushing ahead of it hammers ball valves and old joints. We fix whatever gave way, and for households and businesses that have had enough we put in a JoJo tank and pump that switches over without anyone touching it.

Water Everywhere in Roodepoort? Do This First
Find the main stopcock, usually close to the meter at the street boundary or, on a plot, where the line enters the property, and turn it off. If hot water is escaping, switch the geyser off at the board as well. Then call 082 550 3306. Someone answers at night, on weekends and over public holidays. Non-urgent work and quotes go through 087 700 7781.

Not during the day, when the visit is free. At night, weekends and public holidays an after-hours surcharge applies, and we tell you what it is on the phone first. We find the fault, explain it plainly and give you a fixed price before doing anything.
Our vans are out in Honeydew and the surrounding suburbs all day, so a plumber is usually not far off. You'll get an estimated arrival time when you call.
Often, yes. A descale, a new element and a fresh anode can give a sound tank years more life. If the cylinder itself is badly corroded or leaking, we'll recommend a replacement and explain why.
