In the unlikely event that you encounter a problem with an IOPSA plumber, you have some recourse. Our complaints portal is manned by highly trained staff who can investigate, inspect and rule on any installation done by an IOPSA-registered plumber, at no charge.

The Institute of Plumbing South Africa (IOPSA) is an NPO which was established in 1989 by plumbers. Today IOPSA has evolved to be the largest plumbing body in South Africa and is the recognised voice of the South African Plumbing industry. IOPSA provides a platform to advise on the practice and principles of the plumbing industry. The Institute regularly consults and liaises with the plumbing industry, and governmental and regulatory bodies for the discussion of matters affecting the plumbing industry. IOPSA is recognised and in most cases has representation on most national and international plumbing and legislative bodies.
