East London notes on damp & mould services
Mould removal in rentals in Vincent, Nahoon and the beachfront is a steady job, and a good contractor traces the leak or the missing ventilation. Older Southernwood and Vincent houses benefit from a damp inspection and proper damp proofing. After storms or a burst geyser, restoration firms dry out ceilings and floors, and short hire of units helps in between.
East London: the weather, the buildings and the damp
East London sits where the Eastern Cape coast gets warmer and more humid, with rain in all seasons and heavier falls in summer. Sea mist rolls in off the Indian Ocean, and houses near the Esplanade, Nahoon and Gonubie suffer salt and damp together. Older homes in Vincent and Southernwood have high ceilings and solid walls with patchy damp-proof courses, and flats along the beachfront grow mould behind wardrobes. Mdantsane is a huge residential area with tightly built homes and condensation. The harbour, the motor industry and the many warehouses around the industrial zones need dry storage, while Bhisho and Qonce, inland, are cooler and misty.
Typical damp and mould inspections requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a visit to find out whether black patches come from condensation, a leak or rising damp
- Factories and food plants: inspections of walls and ceilings in clean or dry areas where moisture could affect products
- Warehouses, archives and storage: moisture checks across floors and walls of a store before valuable stock is moved in
