Finally, our prayers have been heard — we found an excellent plumbing company!

Divine Touch Plumbing were responsive, professional, reliable, punctual, friendly and very reasonably priced from start to finish. They helped us solve a tricky problem with an advanced rainwater tank, submersible pump and pressure vessel system that had been giving us trouble for quite some time.

What impressed me most was how quickly they understood the issue and came up with a creative, cost-efficient solution. They worked fast, communicated clearly, and left us feeling that we were in very capable hands.

Highly recommended — a proper five-star plumbing company.

Thanks to these guys for helping me out when my house started flooding at 2 AM on a Sunday. Out of all the 24/7 services I phoned, they were the only one to actually get back to me.

Damp or Musty Odours: Persistent smells caused by hidden moisture buildup and mould growth behind surfaces.

Running Water Sounds: Hearing water moving through pipes when all taps and appliances are turned off.

FAQs Leak Detection in Cape Town

Plumbers use non-invasive technology like thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening devices, and tracer gas systems. Thermal cameras pick up heat signatures from moisture, while acoustic gear amplifies the sound of water escaping under pressure, allowing us to find the exact location of the leak before making any small opening for repair.

In most cases, South African building insurance policies cover "trace and access" costs, which include the process of locating a hidden leak and repairing the surrounding structural damage. Divine Touch Plumbing provides detailed reports and invoices to assist with your insurance claim.

If you suspect a severe leak or burst pipe, turn off your main municipal water supply valve (usually located near your water meter) immediately to prevent further flooding and property damage, then contact an emergency plumber.
