Plumbing in Germiston

Germiston is one of the oldest towns on the East Rand and a major railway junction, home to heavy industry in Wadeville, Elandsfontein and Germiston South, plus the Rand Refinery. Industrial clients need process pipework, pump maintenance and compliant drainage. The residential suburbs of Lambton, Primrose, Delville and Elsburg are largely older, with homes that often still have original galvanised or early copper plumbing. The city falls within Ekurhuleni, and its older reticulation is prone to bursts. Germiston Lake and nearby low-lying areas make stormwater management a recurring concern.
