What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Absorber tubs and hanging bags are used constantly along the coast in wardrobes, cars, boats and holiday flats, and fill with liquid quickly in humid months. Anti-mould paint goes on bathroom ceilings in Durban flats. Silica gel and container desiccants protect cargo leaving the port. Hay fever sufferers in Pietermaritzburg look at purifiers, and a <a href="/humidity-meters/">humidity meter</a> helps check a flat before you buy.
Why damp turns up in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal is the most humid province, and the coast from Port Shepstone through Durban and Umhlanga to Ballito and Richards Bay is warm and damp for much of the year, peaking in the summer months. Mould shows up on cupboards, shoes, leather, bathroom ceilings and the underside of mattresses in beachfront flats and older homes in Morningside, Berea and Glenwood. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands are cooler and misty, with cold, wet houses in winter. Durban's port, the Richards Bay terminals, sugar mills, food plants and logistics parks around Pinetown and Cato Ridge make industrial humidity a daily concern, and many suppliers and hire firms are based in Durban.
The requests we see from KwaZulu-Natal usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a bathroom ceiling, kitchen wall or bedroom corner that goes black each winter
- Factories and food plants: wash rooms, canteens and food-area walls that need a mould-resistant finish
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a repaint of a damp flat between tenants, after the cause is fixed
