Plumbing in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university town on the Mooi River, home to a major North-West University campus and a large student population. Student houses and communal residences see heavy use of showers, toilets and kitchens, which makes geyser replacements, blocked drains and burst pipes common callouts. Much of the area is underlain by dolomite, so leaking water and sewer pipes need fast repair to reduce the risk of sinkholes. Historic homes near the town centre need careful pipe upgrades, and Highveld frost can damage exposed plumbing in winter. The army base, schools, agricultural research institutions and surrounding farms add steady work.
Typical leak detection requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners find hidden leaks behind high water bills, damp walls and wet gardens
- Schools: schools trace large water losses on long underground pipe runs across the grounds
- Complexes: body corporates trace leaks on shared supply lines and between units
- Farms: farms trace leaks on long irrigation, borehole and reservoir supply lines
- Offices: office parks track down water losses in underground mains and ceiling voids
- Healthcare: hospitals and clinics find leaks in ducts and slabs without disrupting patient areas
