Geysers form a massive part of the plumbing supplies industry, and its very common for geysers to leak after several years. Expansion and contraction are the main reasons for geyser leaks, and when they get out of hand the only way to solve the problem is to get a plumber to come and perform a geyser repair. Sometimes the actual geyser itself can be fully repaired with a few plumbing supplies and so this minimizes costs, but depending on the time when the repair is done, the call out might be the biggest expense.

There are several plumbing companies in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Pretoria which offer 24 hour plumbing and handyman services. Many geysers are placed in the roof of a house or apartment, however some geysers are even placed inside certain cupboards. A geyser leaking from the roof can cause damage to the interior of the house and so some builders and plumbers choose to rather place any new geyser on the exterior of a house or apartment.

There are several plumbing fittings and valves needed in order to connect a geyser and only professional plumbers should do the task of repairing and installing a new geyser. When it comes to getting the correct plumbing supplies for a geyser, besides all the valves and pipes, a very important item to have is a drip tank, this serves for the sole purpose that should the geyser somehow leak for any reason, it tries to capture any leaking water an send it to the drain. It is normal for a geyser to sometimes leak a few drops every now and then, especially if the geyser is frequently used, however if it keeps leaking continuously and the amount of water being lost is very obvious the best would be to call in a plumber to check whether a repair is necessary.
