Welkom: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Welkom is a gold-mining town on the flat Free State goldfields, with dry cold winters, hot summers and sharp thunderstorms. Outdoor humidity is low, so damp is usually indoors: condensation in cold bedrooms and small RDP-style homes in Thabong, mould in bathrooms of Riebeeckstad and Dagbreek houses, and leaks after storms when flat roofs and gutters fail. Mine workshops, stores, offices and records rooms across the goldfields, from Odendaalsrus to Virginia, need dry air for tools and electrical gear, and humidifiers matter in winter. Suppliers are mostly local, with help from Bloemfontein.
Typical damp proofing requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: tide marks and flaking paint on an older brick home traced to a bridged DPC and treated
- Factories and food plants: walls and floors of a production area waterproofed to stop moisture reaching products or machines
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a rental's damp walls diagnosed and treated, with a written guarantee that can be kept on file
