Plumbing in Gauteng
Gauteng packs more homes, offices and factories into a small area than any other province, and almost all of its water arrives through Rand Water's bulk network fed by the Vaal system and the Lesotho Highlands scheme. Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni each run their own reticulation, and planned maintenance or reservoir problems regularly leave suburbs dry for days, driving demand for JoJo tanks, pressure pumps and booster sets. Highveld winters bring frost-split pipes, while violent summer thunderstorms test gutters and stormwater drains. Geyser replacements, leak detection and complex maintenance keep plumbers busy year-round.
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
- Offices: office parks track down water losses in underground mains and ceiling voids
- Factories: factories find leaks in process water lines and fire mains under yards
- Retail: shopping centres locate leaks in service ducts before they damage tenant stock
- Healthcare: hospitals and clinics find leaks in ducts and slabs without disrupting patient areas
