Handling Taps
A dripping tap or faulty mixer can waste water and affect daily use. Small leaks can worsen and damage fittings or surrounding areas. Avoid forcing handles or using excessive pressure. On arrival in Ontdekkers, the plumber inspects the tap, seals, and internal components. The faulty parts are replaced or repaired using suitable components. We check for worn washers, cartridges, or pressure-related faults. All fittings are tightened and resealed to prevent further leaks. The goal is a smooth, leak-free tap that works reliably.
Unblocking Drain Issues
A sudden overflow or gurgling noise usually points to a blockage building pressure. If ignored, this can lead to overflows, water damage, and hygiene risks. If safe, stop using affected fixtures to avoid further backup. Any contributing issues, like buildup or root intrusion, are explained clearly. On arrival in Ontdekkers, the plumber assesses the system and identifies where the blockage is forming. We then flush and test the system to ensure proper flow is restored. We use inspection tools where needed to confirm the exact cause before clearing it. The aim is a proper fix, not a temporary solution.
Restoring Drainage Systems
If stormwater drains are blocked, water can build up quickly during heavy rain. Blocked stormwater systems can cause water damage and weaken surfaces. If safe, remove visible debris near drain covers to improve flow. We check grates, channels, and underground lines step by step. Blockages such as debris, silt, or roots are located and cleared using appropriate tools. The system is tested to confirm water drains away efficiently. On arrival in Ontdekkers, the plumber inspects the stormwater system and identifies the blockage location. We explain the process so you understand what was done.

The affected system is isolated to prevent further damage. A step-by-step repair is carried out to restore safe operation. Youll receive clear guidance on what is happening and what to expect next.
Unblocking Drain Lines
You may be dealing with a drain that keeps blocking, slow water flow, or water backing up unexpectedly. Grease, debris, and scale can restrict flow and increase pressure in the system. Keep note of how quickly water drains to help explain the issue. A specialised high-pressure water jet is inserted into the pipe to break down buildup. The system is tested to ensure smooth drainage and no remaining restrictions. On arrival in Ontdekkers, the plumber assesses the drain condition and confirms hydro-jetting is suitable. The jetting process clears grease, debris, and scale along the full pipe length. The goal is a deep clean that restores full flow, not a temporary fix.
Resolving Hidden Leaks
You may notice damp patches, rising water bills, or the sound of water when everything is turned off. Small leaks can quickly become major repairs if not addressed. Take note of where signs of water appear to assist diagnosis. The leak source is exposed carefully and repaired using suitable materials. We use detection methods to trace the exact location of the leak. On arrival in Ontdekkers, the plumber checks visible signs and listens for hidden water movement. The system is tested to confirm the leak is fully resolved. We explain the process so you understand what was done.
Handling Burst Pipes
A burst pipe often shows as sudden flooding, damp walls, or a rapid loss of water control. The longer it runs, the more it spreads into surrounding areas. If safe, turn off the main water supply to limit further damage. The damaged section is exposed carefully to prevent further disruption. Once fixed, the system is slowly repressurised and checked for leaks. Water flow and pressure are tested to confirm everything is stable again. The damaged pipe is repaired or replaced with proper fittings suited to the system. Youll receive clear guidance on what caused the failure and how to reduce the risk going forward.

Restoring Main Drains
When water drains slowly everywhere or backs up, it often points to a deeper sewer issue. Delays can result in pipe collapse or more complex repairs. Avoid flushing toilets or draining sinks until the issue is checked. The cause is confirmed, whether blockage, root intrusion, or pipe damage. We use inspection methods such as cameras to locate the exact problem area. The line is cleared or the damaged section is exposed and repaired step by step. New pipe sections or repairs are fitted securely and aligned correctly. Youll receive clear feedback on the condition of your sewer system.
Checking Pipe Conditions
If drains keep blocking or water flows inconsistently, the real issue may be hidden inside the pipes. If ignored, hidden issues can worsen and lead to full blockages or pipe damage. Do not rely on repeated chemical cleaners as they may damage pipes. We trace the line step by step to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections. The system is rechecked to confirm proper flow and ensure the issue is resolved. Once confirmed, we explain the issue and recommend the correct repair or cleaning method. If needed, the blockage is cleared or the damaged section is scheduled for repair. We explain everything in simple terms so you can make the right decision.
Replacing Baths
When water escapes around fittings or drains slowly, something needs attention. Leaks can spread into surrounding structures and increase repair costs. If safe, reduce water use in the affected shower or bath. We check for leaks, worn seals, blocked outlets, or hidden pipe issues. We confirm everything is working correctly before finishing.
