What to know locally in Brits
In Brits, service work covers mould removal from ceilings and walls after summer storms, damp proofing in older homes where the damp-proof course is bridged by paving, and drying after a burst geyser. Hire of dehumidifiers and air movers helps with those drying jobs, and installation suits fixed units for packing sheds and cold stores. Landlords and buyers of older houses in Damonsville and Brits proper can request a damp inspection with a written report.
Damp and humidity in Brits
Brits sits on the flat farmland beside the Crocodile River and the Hartbeespoort basin, hot in summer with strong storms and dry and cold on winter nights. Mould and damp here come from three places: condensation in small unheated rooms in Letlhabile and Mothutlung, leaking roofs and walls after summer storms, and humidity around the Hartbeespoort Dam and irrigation canals, where holiday homes in Schoemansville are left closed for weeks. Irrigated farms, packing sheds, vegetable stores and small factories need dry storage. Suppliers come from Brits, Hartbeespoort and Pretoria.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a unit and a few air movers hired for a week after the geyser burst, with the drain hose run to the yard
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a dehumidifier hired to dry a rental between tenants while the cause of the damp is being fixed
- Warehouses, archives and storage: a large unit on castors hired for a stockroom that stays wet after heavy summer storms
