Plumbing in Eastern Cape
Water security is a recurring concern in the Eastern Cape. Nelson Mandela Bay endured a severe multi-year drought that pushed parts of Gqeberha close to running dry in 2022, and Makhanda has a long history of supply interruptions. As a result, tanks, boreholes and water-efficient fittings are common requests. Automotive plants and component suppliers in Gqeberha, Kariega and East London need industrial plumbing and maintenance. In rural districts and on farms across the Karoo and former Transkei, households depend on boreholes, rainwater tanks and solar-powered pumps rather than reticulated supply.

Typical leak detection requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners find hidden leaks behind high water bills, damp walls and wet gardens
- Factories: factories find leaks in process water lines and fire mains under yards
- Farms: farms trace leaks on long irrigation, borehole and reservoir supply lines
- Complexes: body corporates trace leaks on shared supply lines and between units
- Schools: schools trace large water losses on long underground pipe runs across the grounds
- Hospitality: hotels and lodges locate leaks in pools, pipe ducts and guest bathrooms
