Damp and humidity in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a cold, dry Highveld city: frosty winter mornings, hot summers with violent thunderstorms and low outdoor humidity most of the year. That makes damp an indoor and local problem. Condensation and black mould show in cold bedrooms with north-facing walls in Brandwag and Heidedal, rising damp in old sandstone and brick houses in Westdene and Waverley, and wet laundry in student rooms near the university. Hospitals, warehouses, food plants and government archives need steady humidity, and humidifiers matter in dry winters. Suppliers and hire firms are in Bloemfontein itself.

- Warehouses, archives and storage: damp walls and floors in an older warehouse treated and waterproofed before stock is stored
- Offices, schools and clinics: ground floor walls of an older office building treated so staff rooms and stores stay dry
