Walked into

Tripped for weeks, then died completely. No lights, no fridge — the owner resetting the mains every night.

Found

A breaker melted from overload, loose connections arcing behind the panel. One step from a fire.

Fixed

New breaker, terminations redone, load balanced — and a COC issued.

The result

Power back the same day. Certified safe. No tripping since.

Sound familiar?

Is this you?

✕You find out about a leak when a tenant calls — not before

✕Three contractors tried, zero accountability delivered

✕One emergency repair wiped out two months of rental income

Here’s how UpKeep changes all three.

Scheduled inspections catch R600 problems before they become R15,000 ones

One team, fully insured and NHBRC registered, accountable from first call

Care Plans cover call-outs so emergencies stop being financial events

[Client name] — homeowner, [suburb] — speaks to the leak repair experience

1:20–1:40

Ask: 'What was happening before you called UpKeep? What did they actually do? What would you tell someone who's on the fence?' Film at their property if possible.

VIDEO NEEDED

“I'd had the same leak for three months. UpKeep found it, fixed it, and sent me a photo before they left. First contractor who ever did that.”

[Client name] — property manager, [X] units — speaks to the multi-property experience

1:20–1:40

Ask: 'What was the biggest frustration before? How has the Care Plan changed how you manage maintenance? What does a typical month look like now?' Film at their office or at one of their properties.

VIDEO NEEDED

“We manage 14 units. Before UpKeep, every call-out was a negotiation. Now there's one number, one invoice, one monthly report. My owners stopped asking questions.”

[Specific outcome — e.g. 'Reduced maintenance spend by R3,200/month across the portfolio on the Pro Care Plan']

No gatekeeping

Catch it early. Here’s how — free.

Hands-on owners fix it themselves. Busy ones hand it over. Either way, you should know what to watch for.

Electrical

A breaker that trips every week isn’t faulty — it’s a warning. Most board fires start as “just tripping.”

Plumbing

A R600 washer left alone becomes a R15,000 ceiling. A damp patch means water is already moving behind it.

Waterproofing

Seal before the first rain, not after. By the time you see the stain, the membrane has been gone for months.

You could do it yourself.
Most owners don’t.
