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 gas geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners install gas geysers to keep hot water running through load shedding
- Complexes: body corporates set rules for where unit owners may place cylinders and geysers
- Hospitality: lodges and guesthouses use gas geysers for reliable hot water in every room
- Restaurants: restaurants with gas kitchens add gas geysers for scullery and cleaning water
- Offices: offices fit compact gas units for kitchens and showers without electrical upgrades
- Retail: food outlets and shops fit gas geysers for wash-up and staff areas
