Damp and humidity in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark is a planned steel town on the Vaal River in the far south of Gauteng, built around a large steelworks and its supplier industries. Its neat suburbs, the central suburbs, hold 1950s and 1960s brick houses, many with low-pitched roofs and old plaster that let moisture in. The Vaal River and nearby dams keep some moisture in the air around the river but winters are dry and cold. Township homes in Sebokeng and Bophelong see condensation in small rooms. Engineering workshops, fabrication yards and stores need corrosion control. Suppliers are in town or in Vereeniging.
Typical damp and mould inspections requests in the area come from:
- Factories and food plants: inspections of walls and ceilings in clean or dry areas where moisture could affect products
- Homeowners and tenants: a visit to find out whether black patches come from condensation, a leak or rising damp
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: an independent report that settles a tenant's damp complaint and shows who needs to act
