Plumbing in Kimberley
Kimberley grew out of the diamond rush of the 1870s and still has many old houses and buildings with original pipes, drains and fittings. The Sol Plaatje municipality has suffered serious water outages over the years, largely because of ageing bulk pipelines from the Vaal River, so many residents have installed tanks, pumps and boreholes. Water here is hard, leaving scale in geysers and on elements, and extreme summer heat is followed by frosty winter nights that can crack exposed pipes. As the provincial capital, Kimberley has government offices, hospitals and schools that need regular maintenance, and nearby farms rely on boreholes.
Typical burst pipe repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners repair burst pipes in walls, roof spaces and under paving
- Offices: office buildings repair burst pipes in ceilings before they damage equipment
- Healthcare: clinics need burst pipes repaired fast to protect patients and keep water flowing
- Schools: schools repair burst mains on the grounds and pipes in ageing ablution blocks
- Mines: mines repair burst water lines serving change houses, offices and hostels
- Farms: farms repair burst supply lines to houses, troughs and irrigation systems
