Plumbing in Paarl
Paarl stretches along the Berg River below the granite domes of Paarl Mountain, and has one of the longest main streets in the country lined with older homes and businesses. Inland, summers are noticeably hotter than in Cape Town, which puts extra load on geysers, pool plumbing and garden irrigation. The Drakenstein municipality supplies most of the town, while surrounding wine and fruit farms depend on boreholes, pumps and storage tanks. Newer golf and lifestyle estates between Paarl and Franschhoek have added a large stock of modern homes, and food and beverage processing plants nearby need commercial plumbing, trade-waste drainage and maintenance contracts.

Typical leak detection requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners find hidden leaks behind high water bills, damp walls and wet gardens
- Farms: farms trace leaks on long irrigation, borehole and reservoir supply lines
- Factories: factories find leaks in process water lines and fire mains under yards
- 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
- Schools: schools trace large water losses on long underground pipe runs across the grounds
