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 repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fix cold water, tripping elements and dripping overflow pipes
- Complexes: body corporates and tenants arrange repairs to geysers in individual units
- Hospitality: hotels and guesthouses repair geysers quickly to avoid guest complaints
- Restaurants: restaurants need fast repairs so kitchens and sculleries keep running
- Offices: offices repair small geysers serving kitchens and staff showers
- Retail: shops repair geysers in staff facilities and food outlets

What to include in your request
