Homes and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where houses face salt air, heavy summer rain and fast-growing mould. Homes range from Berea and Morningside flats and older bungalows to Umhlanga and Westville townhouses, with large township and informal areas inland. Salt rusts gates, burglar bars, window frames and roof screws, while damp and mould stain ceilings and walls. Flat roofs, balconies and parapets need regular waterproofing. Termites and borer attack timber, and storms can flood stoeps and blocked gutters. Typical jobs include repainting, waterproofing, gutters, security gates, tiling and garage door repairs. Hardware stores and merchants are spread across the metro and well stocked.
Typical plumbing repairs requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: replacing corroded fittings and unblocking drains in homes that suffer salt and sand
- Suburban houses: fixing taps, cisterns, garden taps and drains in freestanding houses with older pipework
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: small leaks and cistern faults where a burst pipe can damage the flat below
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing fittings inside the unit, with shared pipes and water meters reported to the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: repairing taps, toilets and outside standpipes, and fixing leaks on shared supply lines
- Older and character homes: dealing with old galvanised and lead-era pipes and fitting period-style taps
