KwaZulu-Natal notes on installation, repairs & parts
Durban's industrial areas, from Jacobs and Prospecton to Pinetown and Riverhorse Valley, have pump workshops, rewinders and hire yards that move dewatering kit to sites at short notice. Salt air corrodes fittings near the sea, so ask about stainless parts. After floods, many repairers deal with pumps that ran dry or flooded. Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle serve inland farms and industry.
Who pumps what in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has more rain than most of the country, and its pumping problems are often about too much water rather than too little. The floods of April 2022 left basements, yards and pump stations in and around Durban under water, and summer downpours still fill sumps fast. Along the coast, sandy ground around Durban, Richards Bay and the North and South Coast means construction sites rely on wellpoints and dewatering pumps, and many coastal estates run sewage pump stations. Inland, sugar cane, Midlands dairy and timber farms pump from rivers, dams and boreholes, and Newcastle has heavy industry. Yet water cuts in parts of eThekwini have also driven homes towards tanks and boosters.
Typical pump hire requests in the area come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: pumps hired after a storm to clear flooded basements and storm water sumps
- Contractors and drillers: dewatering pumps and wellpoints hired for a trench or foundation on site
- Homeowners: a drainage pump hired for a weekend to empty a flooded garage or a pool
