KwaZulu-Natal notes on damp & mould services
Mould removal is a regular job in Durban and Umhlanga rentals, and body corporates handle condensation in basement parking and stairwells. Salt and damp attack older homes in Musgrave and Morningside, so damp proofing and inspections before sale are common. Burst geysers and summer storm leaks keep restoration firms busy, and hire units are used to dry floors. Pool halls at gyms and hotels need dehumidification.
Why damp turns up in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal is the most humid province, and the coast from Port Shepstone through Durban and Umhlanga to Ballito and Richards Bay is warm and damp for much of the year, peaking in the summer months. Mould shows up on cupboards, shoes, leather, bathroom ceilings and the underside of mattresses in beachfront flats and older homes in Morningside, Berea and Glenwood. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands are cooler and misty, with cold, wet houses in winter. Durban's port, the Richards Bay terminals, sugar mills, food plants and logistics parks around Pinetown and Cato Ridge make industrial humidity a daily concern, and many suppliers and hire firms are based in Durban.

- Warehouses, archives and storage: damp walls and floors in an older warehouse treated and waterproofed before stock is stored
