Septic tanks & french drains
Full septic installations, french drains, subsurface drainage and stormwater solutions engineered to move water away from your home — for good.
A 26-year family plumbing business rooted on the N2 outside Mossel Bay — from burst geysers and septic tanks to the delicate art of sealing a leaking shower without lifting a single tile.
A working plumber leaves a record in the ground and on the wall. Here are pages from ours — geysers, drains, septic systems, coastal bathrooms and the finishing touches in between.

Full septic installations, french drains, subsurface drainage and stormwater solutions engineered to move water away from your home — for good.

Coastal bathrooms rebuilt from the pipework up — clean lines, no leaks, sea views intact.

Burst geysers, elements, thermostats and valves — repaired or replaced fast, with a CoC on completion.

Sewer line repairs and large stormwater works — the heavy, unglamorous jobs done properly the first time.

Complete first- and second-fix plumbing for new residential construction, including large projects.

From a single leaking mixer to a full kitchen and bathroom refit — finished to a standard you'd be happy to live with.
Most contractors will tell you the whole floor has to come up. We don't. Using a transparent chemical sealing process, we stop leaking showers and balconies from the surface — no demolition, no dust, no new tiles to match.
