Effective **Blocked Drain Clearing** and Maintenance

**Mill Hill Plumbing FAQ** (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Why is controlling water pressure so important in Mill Hill?

A: Many areas in Sandton experience high municipal water pressure. If not properly regulated by a functioning **PRV**, this pressure can cause fittings to fail, taps to leak, and significantly shorten the lifespan of your expensive geyser and washing machine. We highly recommend having your pressure checked annually.

Q: What is the first sign of a hidden water leak?

A: The most immediate sign is an unexplained, sharp increase in your monthly water bill, or a constantly spinning water meter even when all taps and appliances are off. Other signs include damp patches, wet skirting boards, or hot spots on the floor (indicating a hot water leak).

Q: Do you charge an emergency call-out fee?

A: We operate with **transparent pricing**. A small emergency call-out fee is charged for urgent late-night or weekend service to cover immediate travel costs. This fee is clearly communicated upfront and is often absorbed into the total repair cost if you proceed with our service.

Q: How can I improve my home’s energy efficiency regarding hot water?

A: Besides ensuring your geyser is properly maintained and insulated, we can advise on upgrading to a more efficient unit, installing a geyser blanket, or exploring alternative options like solar heating or heat pump systems.

Q: Are Macramos Plumbers insured and compliant?

A: Absolutely. We are fully licensed, insured with comprehensive liability coverage, and our technicians are registered with the **PIRB** (Plumbing Industry Registration Board) to guarantee professional and compliant service every time.
