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 leak detection requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners find hidden leaks behind high water bills, damp walls and wet gardens
- Complexes: body corporates trace leaks on shared supply lines and between units
- Hospitality: hotels and lodges locate leaks in pools, pipe ducts and guest bathrooms
- Restaurants: restaurants find hot water leaks under kitchen floors that drive up utility costs
- Factories: factories find leaks in process water lines and fire mains under yards
- Offices: office parks track down water losses in underground mains and ceiling voids
