What to know locally in Johannesburg
Rental disputes drive much of the work in Johannesburg: tenants in Berea, Yeoville and Hillbrow flats with black mould, and landlords wanting a written damp report before they treat. Burst geysers in older suburbs are a regular reason to hire dehumidifiers and air movers for a few days. For a sale, a damp inspection of lower walls in Parktown and Melville homes can avoid a surprise at transfer.
Why damp turns up in Johannesburg
Johannesburg sits high and dry for most of the year, so damp here is local rather than general. It shows up in the old brick houses of Melville, Parkview and Observatory, where a failed damp-proof course lets moisture creep up the lower walls, and in cold south-facing bedrooms in winter. Inner-city blocks in Berea and Braamfontein, student digs and crowded rentals add condensation from washing dried indoors. Basement parking and storage under Rosebank and Sandton blocks can stay clammy after summer storms. Suppliers, hire firms and damp contractors are spread across the metro, with warehouse stock in the industrial belts south and east of the CBD.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- 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
- Offices, schools and clinics: a unit placed in a flooded server or filing room until the walls and boards have dried

Where the suppliers are: industrial belts around City Deep, Jeppe and Wynberg, plus the northern suburbs. A useful tip: ask whether the inspector finds the source of the damp or only treats the stains.
