Free State notes on damp & mould services
Mould removal is requested in Bloemfontein rentals and student digs near the university, and damp contractors deal with old sandstone walls and flat roofs around Kroonstad and Bethlehem. Summer hail and storms lead to ceiling leaks and drying jobs, and burst geysers follow cold snaps. Hire units dry new plaster, and inspections before buying an older farmhouse or a Clarens cottage help find leaks and rising damp.
Free State: the weather, the buildings and the damp
The Free State is wide open grassland, wheat and maize country, with cold dry winters that regularly drop below freezing and thunderstorms in summer. Outdoor damp is not the main issue, but the cold is: sandstone farmhouses and older homes in Bloemfontein, Kroonstad and Bethlehem keep rooms unheated, so breath, showers and drying washing condense on outside walls. The eastern highlands around Clarens, Harrismith and Ficksburg are wetter and mistier, and snow and rain leak through old roofs. Grain silos, seed stores and food plants need dry stock, while Welkom and Sasolburg add industrial plant rooms and stores. Local suppliers are mostly in Bloemfontein.
Who asks for damp proofing around Free State, most often first:
- Homeowners and tenants: tide marks and flaking paint on an older brick home traced to a bridged DPC and treated
- Growers, nurseries and farms: farm buildings and stores treated for rising damp so seed and equipment stay dry
- Factories and food plants: walls and floors of a production area waterproofed to stop moisture reaching products or machines
