  • What is pipe relining, and how does it work?

    Pipe relining is a modern method for repairing damaged or deteriorating pipes without the need for excavation. Our experts use a durable liner to create a new, seamless pipe within the existing one, saving you time and money.

  • How do you detect leaks in plumbing systems?

    We utilise advanced leak detection technologies to pinpoint leaks quickly and accurately. Our non-invasive methods ensure minimal disruption to your property while effectively identifying hidden leaks.

  • What is CCTV camera drain inspection, and why is it beneficial?

    CCTV camera drain inspection involves inserting a small camera into your pipes to visually inspect their condition. This allows us to identify blockages, damages, or potential issues without digging, enabling efficient and precise problem-solving.

  • What is involved in a pipe conditioning assessment?

    Our pipe conditioning assessment involves a thorough evaluation of your plumbing system's health and performance. We assess factors such as corrosion, scale buildup, and structural integrity to determine the best course of action for maintaining or restoring your pipes.

  • What are traceable locations, and how do they help in plumbing services?

    Traceable locations are specialised tools and techniques used to accurately locate underground pipes and utilities. This ensures precise planning and execution of plumbing projects, minimizing the risk of damage to existing infrastructure.

  • Can you explain the benefits of solar geysers and heat pumps for residential plumbing?

    Solar geysers and heat pumps are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional water heating systems. They harness renewable energy sources to provide hot water efficiently, reducing energy costs and environmental impact.

  • Do you handle everyday plumbing issues like geyser repairs and bathroom installations, or are your services limited to specialised tasks?

    Absolutely! While we specialise in advanced services such as pipe relining, leak detection, and CCTV camera inspections, we also excel at addressing everyday plumbing needs. Whether you are dealing with a geyser malfunction, need a new bathroom installed, or require any other common plumbing service, our experienced team is here to help. And rest assured, our specialized services do not mean we are the most expensive plumber in Pretoria, South Africa. We pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing without compromising on quality or expertise.

  • Feedback

    From a client’s perspective, Steyn’s Plumbing is unmatched as a plumber in the East.

    I've used them for relining my rotting drainage pipes. 

    Their service was on point. 

    They showed up on time.

    Their equipment is next level. 

    We got 4 estimates, and they were by far the most competitive.

    Steyn personally took charge of the relining service, and everything was done with precision; not a drop of relining epoxy was dropped on my newly paved driveway.

    Steyn always took the time to explain the process, no matter how many times I asked questions, he always had an answer.

    Relining can be an exhausting and daunting task - mine took 3 days due to the size of the project, and I was not inconvenienced at all.

    They always had an “in the meantime” solution for me.

    We have not only used Steyn’s for relining, but many of our plumbing challenges and if he commits, he shows up to the commitment.

    I would highly recommend Steyn’s Plumbing.


    Thank you for the GREAT service.

Successfully Relining Failing Drainage Pipes

Client: Mr Damilano

Project: Relining damaged DN100 downpipe
Location: Waterfall Estate, Gauteng


The Work:

Mr Damilano contacted Steyn’s Plumbing to assist with a unique case.

Unfortunately, the previous plumbing company installed a garden tap and accidentally drilled two holes in the DN 100 downpipe. After a consultation and site assessment, the cause of the problem was identified. Unfortunately, Mr. Damilano's bar area sustained damage due to high levels of rain, and time was crucial to repair the damaged pipe. A premium liner was used, followed by a calibration tube, as access was limited. 


The job was completed in one day and Mr Damilano was extremely satisfied with the outcome.

Relining Failing Drainage Pipes & Fittings

Client: Mr Mutter
Project: Relining Failing Drainage Pipes and Fittings
Location: Clubview , Pretoria

  • The Work:

    It seems like Mr. Mutter had a challenging situation with his drainage system, but Steyn’s Plumbing was able to address the issues effectively. Steyn’s Plumbing used hydro jetting machines to clear the drains and HD CCTV cameras to inspect the pipes. The inspection revealed broken pipes, fittings, and root penetrations in multiple sections.


    Given that Mr. Mutter resides in a dolomite area, time was crucial to complete the job. Steyn’s Plumbing successfully relined the drainage lines using the CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) method. Calibration tubes were utilized on selected lines, and ambient curing along with the Picote steamer was employed to ensure the job was completed efficiently.

  • Comments from Mr Mutter:

    I would just like to thank you for the way your services were carried out at my house in relining the existing sewer pipes.


    The whole teamwork was done professionally.


    Everything was cleaned around the house. 


    Well done team, I will recommend it to any other clients.
