Traced to closed valves, corroded galvanised pipe, a faulty PRV or a hidden leak, then put right.
Home / Water Pressure
Weak trickle from the taps, or pressure so high the pipes bang and the geyser strains? Water pressure is one of the most common call-outs in Durbanville, and both extremes are fixable. We find the cause and put it right.
Tell us what you are experiencing and we will call you back with an honest, upfront price.
Low pressure, high pressure and everything the two extremes cause, diagnosed and fixed properly.
Traced to closed valves, corroded galvanised pipe, a faulty PRV or a hidden leak, then put right.
A pressure-reducing valve fitted or replaced to bring high pressure back within the legal limit.
Old galvanised piping that has narrowed with rust, renewed to restore proper flow.
Water hammer and knocking pipes calmed with the right valves and fixings.
Balancing pressure so showers, taps and appliances all get what they need.
Protecting your geyser from the high pressure that causes premature bursts.
Low pressure in Durbanville is very often the old galvanised piping in homes around the CBD, Sonstraal, Kenridge and Eversdal. Rust narrows the pipe from the inside until the flow drops to a trickle. Partially closed valves, a failing pressure-reducing valve or a hidden leak are the other usual suspects.
High pressure is just as damaging, and it is a compliance issue: SANS 10252 caps domestic water pressure at 400 kPa at any fixture. Above that you get burst pipes, dripping taps and premature geyser failure. A pressure-reducing valve is an inexpensive fix that protects your whole home, and it is the single best thing you can do for an ageing geyser. On the newer estates like Sonstraal Heights and Graanendal, high-pressure mixer systems often need balancing so every shower, tap and appliance gets what it needs.
Pressure also shifts with the seasons and with City of Cape Town supply changes, so if yours has suddenly changed, it is worth a look before something bursts.
