Over 10 years of professional and efficient plumbing ‘service with a smile’.

Let’s go ahead and break down the plumbing services offered by Absolute Plumbing Cape Town into bite-size chunks to make them easier to understand.
1. Leak Detection
Do you often hear the sound of dripping or running water in your home or office when all water points have been turned off? Has your water bill risen without cause? Does your water meter dial turn even when all your taps have been turned off? If you answer yes, then you will need plumbers from Absolute Plumbing cape Town to conduct a leak detection at your property.
How do we detect leaks? We use state-of-the-art technology which makes the job quicker and simpler with far less damage to your property. It’s a win-win!
- Thermal Imaging
This device is used in walls, floors, and roof spaces to identify hot water leaks. It is a hand-held device and allows the viewer to view heat on a camera.
- Acoustic location
The concept behind acoustic leak detection is that all leaks produce sounds. All we need is the correct equipment and experience to listen to the various sounds that the leaks are making in the walls or under the ground. The different sounds tell us what kind of leak it is which makes repairing the leak MUCH easier!
- Leak detection using gas
Hydrogen gas is pumped through your pipe system and a ‘snooper’ picks up a leak by detecting the exiting gas and pinpointing your leak.
Once our leak detection is complete, we will provide you with a free quote for repairs, and a plumbing report for your insurance or local council as proof of a concealed leak.
2. Water Heating Systems

- Electric Hot Water Geysers – 50L up to 500L

4. Professional Drain Cleaning Services
Are you experiencing problems with blocked drains? At Absolute Plumbing Cape Town our plumbers offer professional, reliable, and affordable drain cleaning services that you can count on! We provide a full range of drainage solutions for domestic, commercial, and industrial needs. Our full-service range from a free quotation, to digging the trench, laying new pipes, filling up the trench, and re-laying brick paving or tarring if necessary.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Often the cause of a blocked drain is the build-up of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) from cooking and washing the grease down your kitchen sink. Largely due to misinformation, many households tend to wash warm fat and grease generated from cooking down the drain which leads to a large amount of food debris sticking to the walls of your pipes. Apart from F.O.G causing massive blockages in your drains, a common cause of the blockage is tree roots which you will not be able to unblock without the services of a professional plumber. We will advise on the cause of the problem, for example, a nearby plant or tree that is prone to invasive behaviour.
The Solution
The only way to properly remove the fat, oil, and grease build-up in the walls of your pipes is to contract a professional plumber to thoroughly inspect and clean your pipes. At Absolute Plumbing Cape Town, we offer Hydro Jetting drain cleaning solutions which are proven to be an effective method in removing stubborn debris from your pipes.
- High-Pressure Hydro Jetting
High pressure hydro jetting machines suitable for small to large drains are used by our highly trained plumbers. This is used to effectively clear out roots, cement, concrete, sand, oils, and fats.
- Rotary machine cleaning
This method is used for extraction purposes e.g. root infestation removal and to clear out general blockages in 110mm and 40mm PVC pipes.
5. Water harvesting systems
At Absolute Plumbing Cape Town, we offer households, flats, and businesses the full range of water harvesting solutions to combat the effect of water restrictions and long-term water savings including;
• water tank supply and fitting from 500 litres to 10 000 litres
• building of concrete bases for tanks
• connection of gutters or boreholes/well points to tanks
• installation of pumps and pressure vessels
• installation of filtration systems
• connection of water supply to buildings
• installation of shut off valves to move water supply between municipal water and harvested water as needed
6. CCTV Drain Camera
CCTV Drain Camera inspections are incredibly helpful in identifying the exact cause and location of your blockage. Our equipment is the latest on the market and allows for clear and concise footage. This circumvents unnecessary digging and replacement work.
All footage can be sent to you and a free inspection report will be sent to you if needed.
7. Bathroom Renovations
Why spend money on a completely new bathroom when you can transform your existing bathroom, giving it a whole new lease of life AND add value to your property at the same time?

9. PIPE RELINING
Pipe relining attempts to repair your pipes by curing them from the inside using a special Epoxy, which cures with time to form another strong (in some cases, even stronger than the original) pipe.
In this method, the Epoxy is the key to curing the pipe. A Epoxy-saturated felt tube made out of a suitable material (generally polyester or fiberglass) for epoxy impregnation, is inserted into a damaged pipe. This epoxy then hardens and forms another pipe within the damaged pipe.
Depending on your specific pipe rehabilitation needs, we offer cured-in-place lining, UV lining, inversion lining, barrier, and epoxy coating.
We rehabilitate pipes ranging from 15mm – 1500mm in diameter, and we offer several choices when addressing the tricky art of dealing with junctions.
From stack pipes, collapsed lines underground, or beneath concrete, there is nothing too big for us to handle!
Trenchless pipe restoration solutions mean we can replace your drain pipes without the need for digging/chopping or breaking any area. This makes relining a more cost-effective and less intensive method than traditional ‘dig and replace’ pipe repair methods.
Types of pipes include PVC, mild steel, cast iron, earthenware, HDPE, plastic, and more.

* Save time
* Less invasive
* Cost-effective
* Clean-Up is Easier
* Strength and Durability
* Wide range of applications
