Damp & mould services in Secunda: local notes
Secunda service work tends to be bathroom and ceiling mould removal in rentals, drying out after a burst geyser or a storm leak, and damp inspections for buyers in Trichardt and the newer suburbs. Because most buildings are newer, a good inspector looks first at roofs, gutters, flashing and ventilation before suggesting any damp proofing. Hire of dehumidifiers and air movers is booked for the drying stage, and contractors from Bethal or Johannesburg often cover bigger jobs.
Why damp turns up in Secunda
Secunda is a planned industrial town on the Highveld, built around a huge coal-to-fuel plant, with cold dry winters and thunderstorms in summer. Homes in Trichardt and the newer suburbs are mostly modern brick with damp-proof courses, so damp is usually condensation in cold bedrooms, wet bathrooms with weak fans and the odd roof or window-sill leak after a storm. Embalenhle homes can have mould where rooms are small and unheated. The industrial and contractor yards need dry storage, cold rooms and controlled stores. Suppliers come from Secunda itself, Bethal, Middelburg and Johannesburg.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Factories and food plants: walls and floors of a production area waterproofed to stop moisture reaching products or machines
- Homeowners and tenants: tide marks and flaking paint on an older brick home traced to a bridged DPC and treated
- Warehouses, archives and storage: damp walls and floors in an older warehouse treated and waterproofed before stock is stored
