Plumbing in Port Elizabeth
Gqeberha and the wider Nelson Mandela Bay metro went through a prolonged drought in recent years, with supply dams falling to very low levels and strict water restrictions in force. Households responded with rainwater tanks, boreholes, greywater diversion and low-flow fittings, and municipal leak repair became a major issue. The city is also the centre of South Africa's motor industry, with vehicle and component plants in Kariega and the Coega zone needing industrial plumbing. Older homes in Walmer and Newton Park have ageing galvanised pipes, and the windy coastal climate means beachfront properties in Summerstrand and Humewood deal with salt-air corrosion on geysers and fittings.
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
- 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
- Offices: office parks track down water losses in underground mains and ceiling voids
- Schools: schools trace large water losses on long underground pipe runs across the grounds
