Safety, and clarity matter from the very first message.

Thandi 08:17

Hi Ask KAI, I need urgent help. There is water coming through my ceiling and I am worried it is getting worse.

Ask KAI 08:17

I am here to help, Thandi. Please share your area, a photo if you can, and whether there is any immediate safety risk.

Thandi 08:19

I am in Sandton. It looks like a burst geyser. Water is coming through the ceiling near the passage light.
