If your geyser was installed without a Certificate of Compliance (COC), the next step is to bring in a qualified, registered plumber to inspect the installation. A COC cannot be issued as a formality-another plumber must verify every safety and regulatory requirement before signing off. If faults or non-compliant components are found, you’ll receive a quote for remedial work, and only once corrections are completed can a valid COC be issued. This protects you during insurance claims, property sales, and against serious safety risks.

Hidden water leaks can be costly, damaging foundations, finishes, and budgets before they’re ever visible. This article explains how modern, non-invasive leak detection works and why it’s far more reliable than “blind digging.” Learn the main methods-acoustic listening, thermal imaging, tracer gas testing, and CCTV drain inspection-and how each identifies leak signals like vibration, temperature changes, or escaping gas. We also cover what leak detection equipment and sensors are, what affects leak detection pricing in South Africa, and why renting professional tools is rarely practical without training. For homeowners in Alberton, Benoni, Springs, and nearby areas, accurate leak detection helps reduce water bills and ensures repairs are done right the first time.
