Plumbing in Cape Town
Cape Town's plumbing market was reshaped by the 2017–2018 drought, when the threat of Day Zero pushed thousands of households to install rainwater tanks, greywater systems, wellpoints and boreholes. The City of Cape Town's Water By-law also requires a plumbing compliance certificate before a property can be transferred, so sellers regularly call plumbers to check geysers, valves, stormwater connections and water meters. Older homes in the southern suburbs and City Bowl still have galvanised pipes due for replacement, while the Atlantic Seaboard's salt air shortens the life of exposed fittings. Restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks add steady demand for drain and geyser work.
Typical plumbing certificate of compliance requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners need CoCs for new geysers, insurance claims and property sales
- Complexes: sellers in sectional title schemes need certificates covering their unit's plumbing
- Hospitality: guesthouses and hotels need CoCs for new geysers and heat pump systems
- Restaurants: restaurants need compliant hot water and drainage for new fit-outs and inspections
- Offices: office owners need plumbing certificates when buildings are sold or refurbished
- Retail: retail fit-outs need plumbing work signed off before handover to the tenant
