When water floods your home or business, every minute matters. Whether caused by a burst pipe, leaking geyser, or heavy rainfall, flooding can lead to serious property damage, health risks, and costly repairs if not addressed immediately.
That’s why Plumb Guarantee offers 24/7 flood removal and drying services in Stellenbosch—bringing you peace of mind with fast response times and expert care.
Why Immediate Flood Water Removal is Critical
Water damage escalates rapidly. Within hours, carpets, wooden floors, drywall, and furniture begin to absorb moisture. Within days, mould can begin to grow, posing health risks and destroying property.
The sooner you act, the more you can save.
Dangers of Delayed Water Removal:
Mould and mildew growth
Structural damage to floors, walls, and ceilings
Electrical hazards
Unpleasant odours and poor indoor air quality
Loss of furniture, appliances, and personal items
At Plumb Guarantee, we act quickly and professionally to remove water, dry affected areas, and restore your property to a safe, livable condition.

We’re available 24/7 for emergencies. Once you contact us, our experienced team is dispatched immediately to your property in Stellenbosch or surrounding areas.
2. Water Extraction
Using high-powered pumps and vacuums, we quickly extract standing water from your property. The goal is to remove as much water as possible in the shortest time.

We use advanced moisture meters to detect hidden water damage inside walls, under flooring, and behind cabinets—ensuring nothing is missed.
4. Professional Drying
Industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers are set up to remove excess moisture from the air and materials. This process is monitored daily until your home is fully dry.
5. Disinfection & Deodorisation

If repairs are needed, we connect you with trusted local contractors to help with restoration. We can also provide insurance-compliant documentation for claims.
