Germiston: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Germiston is an East Rand railway and industrial town, home to the Rand Airport, heavy engineering works, rail yards and big warehouse zones in Wadeville, Isando and Primrose. Old brick homes in Lambton, Dinwiddie and Primrose carry damp from poorly drained plots and aging walls. Steel, chemicals, packaging and food-related storage mean strong demand for commercial dehumidification and corrosion control.
