Middelburg notes on damp & mould services
Typical Middelburg jobs include mould removal in rented rooms with no extractor fan, damp proofing of older Eastdene and Aerorand walls where soil or paving sits above the damp-proof course, and water damage drying after a burst geyser or a leaking roof in a storm.

Middelburg: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Middelburg is a steel and coal town on the Highveld at roughly 1,500 metres, with cold dry winters, hard frosts and summer storms that sometimes bring hail. Condensation and mould show up in the older brick houses of Eastdene and Aerorand and in cold rooms of Mhluzi homes, especially on south walls where the sun never reaches. The industrial areas have foundries, steelworks, engineering shops and warehouses, where stored steel, electrical panels and packaging can suffer from condensation when cold nights follow humid days. Specialists in Middelburg are few, so many quotes come from eMalahleni or Pretoria.
