Burst Pipe & Leak Repair Rondebosch | 24/7 Emergency Pipe Fix

About Our Leaks & Pipe Repairs Services in Rondebosch

Rondebosch is one of Cape Town's most established suburbs, centred around the University of Cape Town and the Rondebosch Common. The area has a mix of grand Victorian and Edwardian homes, student accommodation, and more modern townhouse developments. Many of the larger homes along Campground Road, Rouwkoop Road, and near the Vineyard Hotel have original copper and galvanised plumbing that is 60-80 years old -- well past its expected lifespan.

Abacas Solution has served Rondebosch residents for over 25 years. We see recurring pipe problems here: pinhole leaks in ageing copper pipes that cause damp stains on ornate plaster ceilings, burst galvanised mains in properties near the Common, and tree root intrusion from Rondebosch's many mature oaks and wild figs that crack underground water lines. The suburb's proximity to Newlands Forest also means higher rainfall and groundwater levels that compound leak damage.

Rondebosch homes are heritage assets -- water damage from an undetected leak can ruin original Oregon pine floors, decorative cornicing, and irreplaceable plasterwork. Our electronic detection finds leaks without damaging these features. Call 067 071 9472 for professional, careful service.

As part of licensed plumbers in Rondebosch, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience to every job in Rondebosch.
