Plumbing in Cape Town
Cape Town's plumbing market was reshaped by the 2017–2018 drought, when the threat of Day Zero pushed thousands of households to install rainwater tanks, greywater systems, wellpoints and boreholes. The City of Cape Town's Water By-law also requires a plumbing compliance certificate before a property can be transferred, so sellers regularly call plumbers to check geysers, valves, stormwater connections and water meters. Older homes in the southern suburbs and City Bowl still have galvanised pipes due for replacement, while the Atlantic Seaboard's salt air shortens the life of exposed fittings. Restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks add steady demand for drain and geyser work.
Typical copper pipes and fittings requests in the area come from:
- Homes: 15mm and 22mm copper pipe for geyser replacements and hot water runs
- Complexes: copper risers and branch lines feeding hot water to multiple units
- Hospitality: larger copper hot water circuits for hotel rooms and laundries
- Restaurants: copper hot water supply to commercial kitchen sinks and dishwashers
- Offices: hot and cold water lines to washrooms and kitchenettes
- Retail: hot and cold water lines for food outlets and mall washrooms
