What to know locally in Midrand
Waterfall and the business parks along the N1 have deep basements and lift pits, so sump pumps with duty and standby and a high level alarm are common. Building sites often need dewatering pumps while the basement is dug. Several estates use sewage pump stations where sewers were laid late, and the spruits that run toward the Jukskei flood low gardens in heavy storms.
Midrand: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Sitting between Johannesburg and Tshwane, Midrand has grown faster than its water network, and suburbs like Noordwyk, Vorna Valley and Halfway House have had long water outages when reservoirs ran low. That pushed many homes and complexes to put in water tanks and boosters. The older smallholdings of Kyalami, Glen Austin, Blue Hills and Carlswald still run on boreholes in granite, often with a pump feeding a tank for horses, gardens and the house. Big developments around Waterfall dig deep basements, which brings dewatering on site and sump pumps afterwards. Pump suppliers and installers work from the business parks along the old Pretoria Main Road and near the N1.
Typical dewatering pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a deep pool or basement excavation kept dry while the shell is built
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: service trenches and foundations kept workable during a new phase of building
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: basement excavations for offices and malls held dry through the summer rains
