Damp and humidity in George
George sits at the foot of the Outeniqua mountains on the Garden Route, one of the few places in the Western Cape that gets rain in every season. Mild temperatures, cloud and regular showers keep walls, cupboards and laundry damp for much of the year, and sea mist rolls in at Wilderness and Herold's Bay. Timber houses, holiday homes and retirement complexes in Blanco, Heatherlands and Pacaltsdorp often sit empty or shut for weeks, which invites mould. Thembalethu has crowded homes where condensation forms inside, while the timber industry, furniture makers and logistics yards need dry storage, and tourist guesthouses worry about musty rooms.

- Homeowners and tenants: tide marks and flaking paint on an older brick home traced to a bridged DPC and treated
- Hotels, gyms, spas and pools: guest houses and heritage buildings treated and replastered, scheduled around bookings
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a rental's damp walls diagnosed and treated, with a written guarantee that can be kept on file
