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 geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners replace burst geysers or upgrade to a larger 150 or 200 litre unit
- Complexes: body corporates replace geysers in units and need CoCs for each installation
- Hospitality: guesthouses and lodges install multiple geysers to keep every room supplied
- Restaurants: restaurants install large-capacity geysers for kitchens, scullery and cleaning
- Offices: offices fit small geysers for kitchenettes, showers and staff bathrooms
- Retail: shops and malls fit geysers for staff facilities and food outlets
