Plumblink

Bloemfontein's older residential areas, built decades ago when plumbing was installed differently, present their own challenges when pipes start to fail. The water quality from municipal supplies can vary, and seasonal changes in the Free State mean pipes face expansion and contraction stress that coastal areas don't experience as severely. Plumblink operates in this context—they're familiar with the quirks of Bloemfontein's infrastructure, the kinds of faults that show up in established suburbs, and the pressure fluctuations that cause burst pipes after load shedding cycles. Their work accounts for how the local climate and ageing networks shape what goes wrong and what needs fixing.
