Home/Plumber Kraaifontein
A plumber in Kraaifontein who clears the drain and then tells you what blocked it, fixes the geyser and then shows you the reading that proves it, and quotes all of it in writing first. Kraaifontein borders Brackenfell to the north.

Plumbing CoC →Kraaifontein is home to the Scottsdene wastewater treatment works. It was built in December 1976 with a design capacity of 12.5 million litres a day and has been upgraded twice since, in 2010 and 2020. In May 2026 the City reported a new pump station there that can send six million litres a day of treated effluent back out for irrigation.
The sewer that feeds it has had a harder time. The City has fitted lockable glass-fibre manhole covers across Brackenfell and Kraaifontein, twelve of them in these two suburbs, to stop covers being stolen and to stop rubbish and building rubble being dumped straight into the sewer. Metro-wide, the City says up to 60% of sewer blockages are caused by that kind of misuse.
Rubble in a municipal sewer is not something a house plumber can reach or fix. Rodding a private line that runs into a full municipal pipe achieves nothing, because the water in it has nowhere to go, and it is easy to pay for exactly that when the first sign of a street blockage turns up in your own yard.
That is why the first job on a Kraaifontein sewage call is working out whether the blockage is in your line or the City’s. If the municipal manhole in the road is full or overflowing, the fix belongs to the City and should be reported, free, on its WhatsApp line.
Before you pay anyone to clear a gully that is overflowing, lift the grid and look in the street. A full municipal manhole means the City’s WhatsApp line, 060 018 1505, not a plumber.
If it is the City’s line, we say so before charging you.
Written quote first, matching invoice after.
After any sewage job, the area is cleaned.
What was in the line, and where it was.
Kraaifontein is on the standard Brackenfell rates. See the plumber prices page for call-out, labour and after-hours rates.
No. It borders Brackenfell and is covered at the standard call-out.
If the municipal manhole in the street is overflowing, the City, on 060 018 1505. If only your gully is affected and the street manhole is clear, the blockage is probably in your own line.
Repeat blockages usually mean either the same thing going down, or a defect in the pipe catching debris. A camera inspection tells you which.
The Scottsdene network is expanding. Where it reaches your erf, the garden supply must be plumbed completely separately. See plumbing installations.
Yes, for every kind of property transfer. See plumbing CoC.
Yes. Water and power off first, then a written price for the repair or replacement.
