Why damp turns up in Alberton
Alberton sits on the southern East Rand ridge, with a mix of older brick houses in Alberton North and Brackenhurst and modern complexes and golf-estate homes in Meyersdal and New Redruth. Industry around Alrode, Randhart and Wadeville is strong: food processing, packaging, plastics and auto parts. Many older houses in Brackendowns and Randhart have thin walls and damp-affected lower courses, while townships such as Thokoza and Katlehong have small homes with condensation. Dry Highveld winters keep damp mostly structural and storm related. Suppliers are in Alrode and along the Heidelberg Road.
