Pinetown notes on installation, repairs & parts
Pinetown has a strong base of motor rewinders and pump repair workshops in Westmead and New Germany, serving factories across the outer west and Durban. They strip, test and rewind motors, replace seals and bearings, and repair fire and process pumps. Control panels with surge protection suit hillside homes, because summer storms bring lightning. Pump hire is easy to get, and spares like pressure switches and floats are usually on the shelf.
Who pumps what in Pinetown
Steep hills shape the pumping work around Pinetown. Water runs off the slopes of Kloof, Westville and Queensburgh hard and fast in a summer storm, so retaining walls, garages and basements built into the hillside often need a sump with a float switch. In the April 2022 floods, homes and factories in the outer west took heavy damage, and many owners have since added drainage pumps and better storm water channels. New Germany and Westmead are dense with factories that run process water pumps, cooling water circuits and fire pump sets, and the motor rewinders and pump repairers based there serve much of the outer west. Uphill homes sometimes struggle with low municipal pressure, which brings in booster pumps and tanks.
The requests we see from Pinetown usually come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: temporary pumps hired during a plant shutdown or tank cleaning
- Homeowners: a drainage pump hired for a weekend to empty a flooded garage or a pool
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: an office basement pumped out while the sump pump is being repaired
