Hire units are common after geyser bursts, and builders hire dehumidifiers to dry screeds in new estates around Ruimsig before the floor finish goes on.
Damp and humidity in Roodepoort
Roodepoort grew around gold mining on the West Rand, and its older suburbs, such as Florida, Horison and Roodekrans, have face-brick houses and mine-era cottages that suffer from damp lower walls and cold winter rooms. Newer estates in Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls have modern builds, but condensation still gathers in bathrooms and north-facing glass. Industrial parks near Constantia Kloof and Wilgeheuwel hold stock, tools and parts. The nearby Florida Lake and Kloofendal slopes add some moisture to the area. Suppliers and contractors are mostly on the Main Reef Road and Ontdekkers Road.
Who asks for damp and mould inspections around Roodepoort, most often first:

- Landlords, agents and body corporates: an independent report that settles a tenant's damp complaint and shows who needs to act
- Warehouses, archives and storage: moisture checks across floors and walls of a store before valuable stock is moved in
