Junior Hansby, trading under the Hansby family name, issued a *****ulent plumbing Certificate of Compliance(COC) for a new house I had built in an estate in Wellington, Western Cape. He trades as a Registered Plumber. The dwelling was built with a hybrid solar/electric hot water system. Since occupying the house on 31 January 2023 the solar system never worked and the geyser was running of electricity only. The Plumbing Industry regulation Board(PIRB) conducted an audit of the installation and issued a report of non-compliance and failure to install a hot system in accordance with SANS regulations, hence the COC was *****ulent. Failure to install critical safety components, incorrect components used, disregard of plumbing regulations, *****ulent declarations on the COC and a botched solar panel installation to name but a few defects/non-conformances found. This *****ulent COC was part of the developer's handover pack of documents to the Drakenstein municipality required before issuing an occupancy certificate. The owner of the dwelling, builder, developer and local municipality were all misled by this plumber whom subsequently made off with the money he was paid. Had a component failed in this system and an insurance claim was made, the insurance company would have declined the claim due to the non-compliant installation for which an official COC had been issued by Junior Hansby. A number of serious leaks manifested since he completed the installation. These resulted in plaster and tiles having to be removed to repair these leaks. A portion of kitchen sink cabinets had to be replaced as a result of water ingress after leaks started. The plumber went under the radar and all repairs had to be funded by the building contractor. Following PIRB's audit the entire hot water system had to be reinstalled and commissioned at great cost. Mr Hansby remained missing. This type of subcontractor is dragging the entire plumbing industry through the dirt. He is obviously a chancer and a cheat, intent on lining his own pockets by lying and de*****ing his way around the building industry. Please stay clear of this plumber trading as Junior Hansby. His company logo states "Commitment you will see". In my case this mission statement could not be more true.
