**Statford Plumbing FAQ** (Frequently Asked Questions)

**Q: If a shared drain is blocked, whose responsibility is it?**

A: Generally, pipes serving only one unit are the owner’s responsibility. **Shared lines** (serving two or more units) are the **Body Corporate’s** responsibility. Our **CCTV inspection** provides the necessary evidence to accurately pinpoint the fault location.

**Q: Why do geyser valves fail so often in the Sandton area?**

A: The high municipal water pressure is the main culprit. If the **PRV** fails, the excessive pressure stresses the geyser’s components. We specialize in fitting and certifying reliable, heavy-duty pressure valves.

**Q: Do you work with property managing agents in the Statford area?**

A: Yes. We routinely work with managing agents and Body Corporates, handling communication and access for shared infrastructure repairs efficiently, making the process smoother for all residents.

**Q: Are your services covered by my home insurance?**

A: Our services for sudden, accidental damage (like **burst pipes** or **burst geysers**) are usually covered by standard home insurance. We provide the mandatory **CoC** and detailed invoices required to facilitate your claim process.
