Homes and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards and date palms meet desert heat. Houses are mostly single-storey plastered homes with flat or low-pitched roofs, many with carports, stoeps and walled gardens. Temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees in summer, which cracks paint, bakes flat roofs and dries timber, so waterproofing, repainting and roof repairs are common. Hard water scales taps and geysers, and sandy soils shift around paving and walls. Farm owners nearby need shed, fence and gate work. Local jobs also include air conditioning prep, shade nets, pool surrounds and security gates. Hardware stores in town supply most building materials and paint.
Typical plumbing repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fixing taps, cisterns, garden taps and drains in freestanding houses with older pipework
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing borehole feeds, tank connections, troughs and farmhouse pipes
- Township homes and extensions: repairing taps, toilets and outside standpipes, and fixing leaks on shared supply lines
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing fittings inside the unit, with shared pipes and water meters reported to the body corporate
- Shops, offices and rentals: repairing taps, urinals, cisterns and drains in shops and offices with minimal downtime
- Older and character homes: dealing with old galvanised and lead-era pipes and fitting period-style taps
