Plumbing in Gauteng
Gauteng packs more homes, offices and factories into a small area than any other province, and almost all of its water arrives through Rand Water's bulk network fed by the Vaal system and the Lesotho Highlands scheme. Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni each run their own reticulation, and planned maintenance or reservoir problems regularly leave suburbs dry for days, driving demand for JoJo tanks, pressure pumps and booster sets. Highveld winters bring frost-split pipes, while violent summer thunderstorms test gutters and stormwater drains. Geyser replacements, leak detection and complex maintenance keep plumbers busy year-round.
Typical blocked drain and drain cleaning requests in the area come from:
- Homes: households deal with blocked kitchen sinks, toilets and root-filled outside drains
- Complexes: body corporates schedule drain jetting for shared sewer lines and manholes
- Offices: office blocks need washroom drains cleared and sewer lines jetted periodically
- Factories: factories clear process drains and stormwater lines clogged with silt and residue
- Retail: shopping centres jet food court drains and clear blocked public toilets
- Healthcare: clinics and hospitals need reliable drainage and camera inspections of old sewer lines
