Plumbing in Durban
Durban's warm, humid climate is hard on plumbing. Salt air from the Indian Ocean corrodes geyser drip trays, outside taps and metal fittings, and heavy summer downpours test stormwater drains and gutters, as the destructive April 2022 floods showed. eThekwini Municipality's water network has an ageing backlog, so residents often deal with supply interruptions and install backup tanks with pressure pumps. Older homes on the Berea and in Glenwood still have original pipework, while beachfront hotels, flats and restaurants need reliable hot water and drain maintenance. The port and industrial areas around the south basin add demand for commercial and factory plumbing.
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
- Factories: copper supply lines for process hot water and staff change rooms
- Offices: hot and cold water lines to washrooms and kitchenettes
