Homes and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg's older suburbs, such as Melville, Parkview and Bez Valley, have face-brick and plastered homes with ageing roofs, damp walls and ceilings stained by summer storms. Hail and lightning hit the Highveld hard, so roof, gutter and electrical repairs are constant. Clay soils crack walls and paving. Sandton and the northern suburbs have many estates and complexes, and the inner city and Rosebank have flats where landlords and body corporates need quick repairs. Township homes in Soweto and Alexandra are extended over time. Hardware stores, paint and tile shops and builders' merchants serve every area.
Typical plumbing repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fixing taps, cisterns, garden taps and drains in freestanding houses with older pipework
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing fittings inside the unit, with shared pipes and water meters reported to the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: small leaks and cistern faults where a burst pipe can damage the flat below
- 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
- Shops, offices and rentals: repairing taps, urinals, cisterns and drains in shops and offices with minimal downtime

What to include in your request
