Plumbing and geyser services in Cape Town
Two lines of work on one supply. Smiths Plumbing handles plumbing across Cape Town, from the taps and toilets to the drains outside, and the geyser that feeds the hot side.
Geysers
Geyser work across Cape Town. When you get in touch, say what the geyser is doing: leaking, no hot water, or water coming from the overflow pipe.
If you can reach it safely, a photo of the rating plate on the side of the geyser is useful. The plate usually lists its capacity and pressure rating.

What to do while you wait for a plumber
General safety steps for a leak, a burst pipe or a leaking geyser. If you are unsure about any step, leave it and tell Smiths Plumbing what you are seeing.
Water leaking or a burst pipe
- 1
Find the main stopcock. It is usually where the water supply enters the property, often near the water meter at the boundary or where the pipe comes into the house.
- 2
Turn the handle clockwise until it stops to close it.
- 3
Keep clear of water near plugs, sockets or appliances. Switch off at the distribution board only if you can reach it without standing in water.
- 4
Catch what you can with buckets and towels, and note where the water seems to be coming from.
A leaking geyser
- 1
Switch the geyser off at the distribution board. The breaker is often labelled “Geyser”.
- 2
Close the valve on the cold water pipe that feeds into the geyser.
- 3
Do not touch hot pipes or the geyser body, and stay away from water dripping near electrics.
- 4
Put a container under the drips if it is safe to reach.
