Why we do not simply trust “Open 24 hours”

Anyone can set their Google hours to midnight-to-midnight, and plenty do. We read every plumber’s own website and compared the two.

24 hours, confirmed33146% of the 724 making the claim

Say it in both places

Their Google hours run round the clock and their own website advertises after-hours work. These come first in the results above.

24 hours, Google only13218% of the 724 making the claim

Google only

Tell Google they never close, then never mention after-hours anywhere on their own website. Worth a phone call before you count on it.

Website only

Advertise 24/7 on their site while their Google hours say otherwise. Usually an out-of-date profile rather than a false claim.

Drawn from 3 651 listings. We did not phone anyone at 3am to check, so treat all of it as what the business says rather than what we verified. How we rank

Before you phone

Close the water off first

The main stopcock is usually at the boundary near the water meter. For a burst geyser, close the geyser isolator too and switch it off at the DB board. Every minute it runs is damage you pay for either way.

Ask what after-hours costs before they drive out

A callout at 11pm on a Sunday is not priced like a Tuesday morning. Ask for the after-hours callout figure and whether it covers the first half hour. Only 29 plumbers in the country publish any price at all, so you will almost always have to ask. What plumbers actually charge

Photograph everything if you will claim

Most South African household policies cover a burst geyser and the water damage that follows. Photograph the damage before anything is removed, and check whether your insurer requires one of their own approved plumbers, because using your own can cost you the claim.

Phone, do not fill in a form

The entire point of an emergency plumber is that a person answers. If the only contact route is a contact form, keep going down the list.
