A Gqeberha plumbing company built on repeat customers

Martin Daniel started Splash Plumbers with a simple idea: do the job properly, charge fairly, and answer the phone when people call. Two decades later the company runs 7 vehicles across Nelson Mandela Bay, and those three things haven't changed.

What has changed is the equipment. Where a plumber once had to break open a wall to find a leak, our team uses thermal imaging, acoustic detection and tracer gas to pinpoint it first. Where a blocked drain used to be poked at until it ran, we jet the line and put a camera down it so you can see what caused the problem.

Over the years we've worked in ordinary family homes, guesthouses, five-storey apartment blocks, restaurants and schools. We've re-plumbed bathrooms, excavated drains, installed solar geysers and been called out at night when a pipe gave way. There isn't much we haven't seen.

The name of the game is trust. Someone is letting us into their home, or spending the money of a body corporate they answer to. The only way that works is if we say what we'll do, do it, and don't disappear afterwards.
