Plumbing in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal's humid subtropical coast gets heavy summer rain, and the April 2022 floods showed how quickly stormwater systems, retaining walls and municipal pipelines can fail. In eThekwini, ageing bulk infrastructure has left areas such as the northern suburbs facing repeated water interruptions, so storage tanks and pumps are in high demand. Sea air speeds up corrosion of geysers, taps and exposed pipework along the Durban and North and South Coast strip. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands have colder winters, while sugar cane farms, Durban port logistics and coastal holiday accommodation create commercial plumbing work.

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
- 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
- Retail: shopping centres locate leaks in service ducts before they damage tenant stock
