Plumbing in Alberton

Alberton, in the City of Ekurhuleni, combines established family suburbs like New Redruth, Brackenhurst and Randhart with upmarket estates in Meyersdal on the ridge overlooking the town. The Alrode industrial area to the south houses factories, warehouses and food processors that need industrial pipework, backflow prevention and trade waste solutions. Ekurhuleni buys its bulk water from Rand Water, and maintenance-related outages have led many households to fit storage tanks. Cold Highveld winters mean frost-damaged outdoor pipes and geyser failures are common reasons for callouts.
