Pump Hire in Centurion
Need to hire a pump in Centurion? Say what needs pumping (a basement, trench, dam or pool), roughly how much water and what is in it, how far it must go and for how long, so hire companies that deliver to Centurion and around Gauteng can quote the right pump and hoses.
The main pump hire page explains the types, the sizing and the costs in more detail.
Centurion notes on installation, repairs & parts
Pump shops and rewinders in Hennopspark, Sunderland Ridge and Lyttelton serve Centurion, with more workshops a short drive north in Pretoria. Many estates hold service contracts for their sewage stations and pressure sets. Drillers here should know the local dolomite maps; ask how they handle casing and grouting and whether they check the stand first. Lightning is common in summer, so ask for surge protection on any control box.
Centurion: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Dolomite shapes every water decision in Centurion. Sinkholes have opened in Lyttelton, Eldoraigne, Valhalla and along the N1 over the years, and drilling a borehole or letting water leak into the ground on dolomite can make things worse, so Tshwane controls boreholes in these areas and may ask for a geotechnical report. Where drilling is allowed, the dolomite can hold a lot of water. Many households in Rooihuiskraal, Wierda Park and Midstream rely instead on water tanks and boosters through cuts. The Hennops River floods the low ground around the Centurion lake in heavy storms, and smallholdings at Mnandi, Erasmia and Olievenhoutbosch run on borehole water.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Homeowners: a drainage pump hired for a weekend to empty a flooded garage or a pool
- Smallholdings and plots: a diesel pump hired to move water from a dam with no power nearby
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: an office basement pumped out while the sump pump is being repaired
