Damp & mould services in Pinetown: local notes
Older Pinetown and Queensburgh houses often need a damp inspection before anything is painted, to tell rising damp from a leaking gutter or a cracked sill. Damp proofing contractors drill and inject a chemical damp-proof course, then re-plaster. Industrial sites at Westmead sometimes hire dehumidifiers after a roof leak, and landlords call in mould removal between tenants.
Pinetown: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Pinetown sits in the hills a little inland from Durban, so it gets the same sticky summers but with a bit more cloud and valley mist on some mornings. Older brick houses in Pinetown proper, Moseley Park and Queensburgh often have damp lower walls and rooms that never see the sun on the south side. Further up the hill, Kloof and Hillcrest have big homes with timber floors and cupboards that smell musty. The industrial belt at New Germany and Westmead is full of factories and warehouses with stock that suffers from humid air, and Clermont and KwaDabeka have tightly built homes where condensation is a daily fight.
