Gauteng, one of South Africa’s most populous regions, is home to many historic and older properties with distinct architectural charm. However, while these homes offer character and often beautiful craftsmanship, they also come with unique challenges, especially when it comes to plumbing. Plumbing systems in older homes were built with materials and methods that may no longer be suitable for today’s usage demands. Over time, age and wear can cause various plumbing issues that, if left unaddressed, can lead to costly repairs and damage.
