Johannesburg notes on installation, repairs & parts
Rewinders and pump workshops in Denver, Jeppestown and City Deep repair everything from pool motors to large three phase sets, and most offer collection. Highveld lightning takes out control boxes every summer, so ask for surge protection when a borehole is installed. Drillers based on the West Rand and in Midrand work across the city; the municipality wants boreholes registered, so ask whether the driller helps with the paperwork or leaves it to you.
Water and ground in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its water from the Vaal system through a long chain of pipes, pump stations and reservoirs, and when one link fails the taps in whole suburbs run dry. Many areas, from Melville and Linden on the ridges to parts of Soweto and the south, have had water cuts and low pressure that last days, so water tanks with booster pumps are now common on houses and flats. Boreholes are popular in the leafy north, but the city asks owners to register them, so check before you drill. Under the south and the CBD lie old gold workings, and pump repair and rewinding workshops cluster in Denver, City Deep, Industria and Jeppestown.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs fitted with a pump, cap and pipe to a tank
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: a lodge or school borehole set up to fill storage tanks for backup water
- Factories, plants and depots: a borehole pump feeding process or wash bay water to a tank at a factory
Local tips for Johannesburg
Asked for most in Johannesburg: water tank boosters for water cuts, garden boreholes, pressure sets for flats. Where the pump shops and drillers are: denver, City Deep, Industria and Jeppestown, with shops along the M1 and N12. A useful tip: ask if the quote includes a changeover so the house uses mains water when it is on.
Sizes vary: shallow garden sets to deep farm sets. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a garden borehole in the suburbs fitted with a pump, cap and pipe to a tank. One local point to raise: installers and drillers cover the whole metro; rigs come from yards south and west.
