Homes and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene, and nearby Empangeni and Esikhaleni. Homes are mostly face-brick or plastered houses, townhouses and flats built since the 1970s. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain cause rust on gates and bars, mould, stained ceilings and leaking flat roofs. Termites are very active, and sandy coastal soils shift under paving and boundary walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, burglar bars, gate motors and garage door repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates a priority. Local merchants supply most materials, with extra stock coming from Durban.
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
- 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
- Shops, offices and rentals: repairing taps, urinals, cisterns and drains in shops and offices with minimal downtime
