Ageing supply & drainage
Pre-1980s pipework dominates inner-city and older eastern suburbs. Cast-iron drainage, galvanised supply and clay sewer all fail in characteristic ways — the diagnostics differ for each.

Why This Region Is Different
What We See In Joburg Central, East & South
Every Gauteng region has its own infrastructure history, ground conditions and property profile. These are the patterns HydroTrace typically encounters across Joburg Central, East & South.
Older sectional titles & blocks of flats
Berea, Yeoville-adjacent blocks, Kensington and Bedfordview apartment buildings often have shared risers without documentation. Trustees need targeted reports, not guesswork.
Slab leaks under tiled floors
Many homes in Kensington, Glenvista and Linksfield have supply lines cast into the slab. Acoustic and thermal investigation locates the line before any tile is lifted.
Heritage & conservation properties
Houghton, Parktown and Kensington have stock that pre-dates modern plumbing standards. Detection has to be entirely non-destructive.
