    Advice requested. I live in a Sectional Title estate. The developers installed another apartments geyser in my ceiling. Therefore I have 2 geysers in my ceiling, theirs and mine. The geyser to the other apartment burst last month, resulting in damage to my ceilings. The body corporate insurance now wants me to pay the excess for the ceiling replacement. I disagree as the source of the damage is connected illegally in my ceiling.
    In my humble opinion the owners of the other apartment should pay the excess, even though we all understand it burst due to no fault of theirs, and the geyser should be installed in the ceiling or externally to the unit that it supplies. I cannot have 10 geysers for example installed in my ceiling, and then I be held liable for the excess each time one of them bursts.
    Advice anyone?

    I am a single mother of 3 living in the rural area in limpopo. i honestly do not have the money to pay a plumber but i still need to install plumbing in my home as using buckets for waste water and water supply is hard for my children. what are legal implications of doing the entire system myself?

  4. Sorry the pipes have concrete in them which causes terrible blockage.Who is responsible for fixing this?

    I live in a complex with semi-detached homes and the our plumbing pipes are have concrete in them for quite a few homes. This is from when the complex was built. I’d like to know who is responsible for fixing this? Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    I have worked as a plumber for a registered plumbing company for 2 years. I have completed courses on plumbing through AITF (international training facility) receiving a certificate with a silver seal.

    My questions is if I were like to service my own customers and start my own handyman services, may I assist with doing DIY plumbing? Even though I am not yet qualified?

    Dankie

  7. Hi, I live in a home that was built in 1964. We have just has our first water leak so I got a plumber out to cut out and replace the damaged section.

    The old pipes are of the galvanized type. I wish to replace all the external pipes to the house with Polycop pipes.

    Is that acceptable?… and may those pipes be installed above ground, mounted to walls instead of been buried below ground?

    Hallo Penny
    We are building a new home. Can we do our own plumbing and have it inspected and signed off by a qualified plumber? We are also registered with the NHBRC. Thank you
    Groete

  9. Goeie dag,

    I just want to find out how does a person go about moving a kitchen/bathroom gully? The kitchen will still remain in the same place, but an additional room will be built alongside the kitchen. I know the gully may not be inside a building, will a plumber be able to assist in this regard? Must an application to move the gully be handed in at the local municipality? We will also be placing extraction fans in the bathroom and kitchen to help with the ventilation.

    Thank you in advance

  10. A question to solve what the regulations really are. I am getting contradicting info from the plumber & the municipality & then the regulations say it must be authorised.
    My toilet pipe comes out of a wall 10cm above ground onto a patio & from there has an ‘ artificial ventilation shuut going up above the roof (drainage goes underground) There is a window & an air duct in the bathroom. Do I really have to have the vent there? Do I need it at all? Municipality says must be there, plumber says dont need it, regulations say artif, vent needs permission. What now? House was built in 1990

  11. Hi John, Polycop is net vir koue water, maar hulle maak nou een vir warm water vra by jou loodgieter verskaffer.

  12. Ek weet regtig nie. Miskien iemand by IOPSA kan raad gee.

  13. Vir hoe lank is 'n gekwalifiseerde loodgieter se werk gewoonlik gewaarborg vir 'n splinternuwe huis?

  14. Kan Polycop pyp gebruik word vir warm en koue water voorsiening in 'n huis.

  15. ’n Sonkrag-geiser (waterverwarmer) is een van die opsies. In terme van warmwatervoorsiening Vereistes vir waterinstallasies in geboue moet in ooreenstemming wees met SANS 10252-1 (wat installasie beheer) en SANS 10254 (2012) wat geisers reguleer – “Hierdie standaard is van toepassing op alle waterverwarmers wat binne die bestek van SANS 151, insluitend die opgaartenks van sonkragwaterverwarmers wat binne die bestek van SANS 1307 val, en die opgaartenks vir hittepompstelsels.” Dit beskryf al die toelaatbare opsies. Maar jy sal die beste af wees met 'n sonkrag-geiser.

  16. Ek wil net graag weet of 'n sonkrag geiser 'n moet hê as jy 'n nuwe huis bou soos 'n plot en plan. En wat as ek nie geld het vir 'n sonkraggeiser nie

  17. Alle loodgieterswerk moet deur 'n gekwalifiseerde en geregistreerde loodgieter gedoen word wat die werk sal afteken. Jy kan van die werk self doen, maar net as 'n loodgieter toesig hou en goedkeur wat jy doen. Ek is nie in posisie om advies te gee oor druktoetsing nie.

  18. Hi ouens wil net bietjie duidelikheid kry oor Loodgieter wat jy eintlik self wettiglik kan doen.

    Ek is self besig om my huisgebou uit te brei.(kombuis skuif & nuwe badkamer en slaapkamer byvoeg.) moet ek 'n goedgekeurde loodgieter kry om die nuwe waterpype na die nuwe relevante vertrekke te doen of kan ek dit self doen aangesien ek ondervinding het hierin.

    Bykomend hierby verskuif ek ook my put na die ander kant van die huis, aangesien ek verstaan dat slegs volledige nuwe stelsels druk getoets moet word wat aan jou hooflyn koppel. Ek sal net 'n voeg by my bestaande lyn voeg wat nog in my erf is. Moet hierdie nuwe afdeling druk getoets word?

  19. Alle loodgieterwerk moet deur 'n gekwalifiseerde, geregistreerde loodgieter gedoen word. Jy kan dalk van die werk self doen, maar jy sal dit moet laat toesig hou deur 'n gekwalifiseerde, geregistreerde loodgieter wat uiteindelik die werk sal afteken en verantwoordelikheid daarvoor sal aanvaar. Dit sal natuurlik die koste verminder. Dieselfde geld vir elektriese toestelle. Die feit dat die huis houtraamwerk sal wees, maak geen verskil nie.

  20. Pierre Henning sê:

    Dankie vir 'n goeie webwerf met
    Ek beplan om oor 'n paar maande 'n klein huisie in die Wes-Kaap te bou.
    As ek dit reg verstaan, sal dit nie aanvaarbaar wees as ek self die nuwe waterpype installeer nie (uitgesluit die geiser en eksterne werk soos die munisipale aansluiting)? Dit sal 'n houtraamkonstruksie wees.
    Dankie.

  21. Pieter ek stel voor jy vind uit of jy toegelaat word om woonstelle op die eiendom te bou. Daar is digtheidskwessies wat aan sonering (plaaslike owerheidsverordeninge) gekoppel word. Dit is nie bloot 'n kwessie van toelaatbare rioolverbindings nie.

  22. Pieter Vlok sê:

    Hi, ek wil vir my 'n erf koop en dit ontwikkel. Daarmee wil ek ook ekstra woonstelle op die erf bou. Hoeveel rioolverbindings word toegelaat vir 'n 800m^2 grootte erf?
