Benoni notes on damp & mould services
Damp proofing is often the main job in Benoni's older houses, where paving or garden beds lie against the wall and bridge the damp-proof course. Mould removal in rentals around Lakefield and Daveyton is common, usually with ventilation advice. After a burst geyser or a storm, restoration firms bring dehumidifiers and air movers, and buyers or landlords order inspections with photos and meter readings.
Benoni: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Benoni, known for its lakes and the pans around Rynfield and Lakefield, sits on the East Rand with a mix of 1950s houses, tidy suburbs and the township of Daveyton. The town's mining past left many plots with high water tables and old drainage, so lower walls in older homes in Northmead and Farrarmere can feel damp even in the dry winter. Farms and smallholdings around Putfontein and Crystal Park add tunnels and stores. Light industry and workshops line the main roads. Suppliers and contractors are in town and in nearby Boksburg and Kempton Park.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: tide marks and flaking paint on an older brick home traced to a bridged DPC and treated
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a rental's damp walls diagnosed and treated, with a written guarantee that can be kept on file
- Growers, nurseries and farms: farm buildings and stores treated for rising damp so seed and equipment stay dry
