What Fidem's clients say
Word for word from Google, where Fidem Projects is reviewed.
Excellent service they were very fast to respond to my emergency. Professional and very friendly.
Our toilet had water running continously, which is not very water wise! The area to work in was very tricky, fiddley and awkward to say the least. Patience was required, which was not a problem for Kyle.
Work was done quickly and professionally. Very satisfied with quality of repair works.
Leak questions, answered
What people ask us first.
How do I know if I have a water leak?
Close every tap and don't use any water, then watch your water meter. If the dial still moves, water is escaping somewhere on your side of the meter. Other signs: a higher water bill, damp patches on walls or paving, lifting tiles, or a pool level that drops faster than usual.
Who pays for water leak damage?
It depends on where the leak is and on your insurance. Pipes on your side of the water meter are the property owner's responsibility; the street side is the municipality's. Many home policies cover the damage a leak causes but not the repair of the leaking pipe itself, so check your policy or ask your broker.
How much does it cost to find a water leak?
It depends on the kind of leak and how easy it is to reach. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll give you a price before we start.
What should I do if my water meter is leaking?
If the leak is at the municipal meter or on the street side of it, report it to Stellenbosch Municipality. If the meter keeps moving with every tap closed, the leak is on your side: phone or WhatsApp us.
Do you fix the leak as well?
Yes. Fidem is a PIRB-registered plumbing company and a builder, so we repair the pipe and make good the tiles, walls, ceilings or paving afterwards.
