Three months later still having the same problem and no response

This is the third month since I filed a claim for a burst pipe. The geyser people came and changed something on the geyser which had no problem. After that the geyser started shaking violently and spraying water out of the roof. This was wasting water and also keeping us awake at night. I contacted Standard Bank insurance and they sent someone again who changed a pressure something. That made things worse as the water started shaking more frequently and spraying water out. I sent Boitumelo who was dealing with y case an email explaining. I even took a video of the water spraying out an audio of the geyser shaking. A week later I haven't had anything back from them Sent another email to check and still no response.

Here is the email I sent explaining. "Hi Boitumelo

The plumbers came and they said the geyser is not bust and they changed a pressure valve or something. Unfortunately this hasn't solved the problem. The geyser is still shaking and making noise. Nothing has changed. Looks like its getting worse everyday and now it happens every hour or so. We can't even sllep because of the noise.

We are also losing a lot of water and money. This month's water bill was around R3000, can't imagine next month.

Check the attached video and voice recording. This is costing us a lot.

Regards"

Can someone please help.

Reviewer Update
I don't know what to do anymore. I spoke to a consultant and told them I'm in Durban and asked that they not send a plumber and the plumber can come when I'm since there's only a helper who can't explain the problem. The plumber was sent anyway. Same thing as before. The geyser kept shaking and spraying water out. I asked to be given the plumber's number or ask them to call me so I speak to them and know what they did. I got no response for over a weak. Asked again and was told they are dealing with it. A week passed and nothing happened. On Friday water started coming out of the ceiling. I sent an email and nothing happened. As I write this the ceiling is falling with water coming out. I have wooden floors and carpet in the other room which is wet. I have no idea what to do anymore since they just send useless plumbers who just replace something without analyising the problem. More than two months later, about 6 service providers and still stuck with the same problem.
