Plumbing in Pretoria
The City of Tshwane supplies Pretoria from a mix of Rand Water bulk water, its own dams such as Rietvlei, and springs and boreholes drawing on dolomitic aquifers. In parts of the city the water is noticeably hard, and scale build-up in geyser elements and shower heads is a familiar complaint. Established suburbs such as Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood have homes dating back many decades with ageing pipework, while Sunnyside and Arcadia have dense apartment blocks. Government buildings, embassies, universities and large hospitals such as Steve Biko Academic create large institutional plumbing contracts.
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
- Offices: office blocks need washroom drains cleared and sewer lines jetted periodically
- Complexes: body corporates schedule drain jetting for shared sewer lines and manholes
- Schools: schools clear blocked ablution drains, often caused by paper and foreign objects
- Healthcare: clinics and hospitals need reliable drainage and camera inspections of old sewer lines
- Restaurants: restaurants need grease traps emptied and kitchen drains jetted to stay hygienic
