1. Turn off your mains water supply immediately (usually near your water meter). 2. If a geyser has burst, switch off the electrical isolator for the geyser at your DB board. 3.

A Red Seal (Trade Test Certificate) is a nationally recognised qualification awarded to tradespeople who pass a rigorous practical and theoretical assessment. It's the highest standard of artisan certification in South Africa. Most plumbers in the Vaal Triangle do not hold a Red Seal — DrainLema does. This means: - Work is done to the highest professional standard - Compliance certificates are legally valid - Your insurance claim won't be rejected due to unqualified workmanship

• • •

Yes — a call-out fee applies for Kenneth to visit and assess the job. This fee is deducted from your final invoice if you go ahead with the work. This keeps things fair: Kenneth's time and travel are covered, and you only pay the full amount once. No tyre-kickers, no wasted trips — just honest, professional service.

Meet the Plumber

Kenneth Cutler built DrainLema Vaal on a simple belief: every customer deserves honest workmanship at a fair price.

With a Red Seal Trade Certificate and years of hands-on experience, Kenneth started DrainLema out of frustration with overpriced, unreliable plumbers in the Vaal Triangle. The goal was clear — show up on time, fix it properly, charge fairly, and leave no mess behind. That standard hasn't changed since day one.

"A Red Seal isn't just a certificate — it means I've proven I can do this work to the highest standard. That's what every customer in the Vaal deserves."

— Kenneth Cutler, Founder
