Pietermaritzburg notes on damp & mould services
Victorian houses in Scottsville and the older suburbs are the classic damp inspection job: tide marks, white salts and peeling paint low on the wall. Damp proofing contractors inject a chemical course and replaster with a suitable plaster. Landlords near the university book mould removal between tenancies, and restoration firms dry out after summer storm leaks and burst geysers.
Damp and humidity in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl of hills, with hot, wet summers and cool, drier winters, and the nearby Midlands above it are famous for mist. That mix means damp comes in two forms: muggy mould in summer and cold condensation in winter. The city has many old red brick Victorian and Edwardian buildings, in Scottsville, Pelham and the town centre, where solid walls and old plaster can stay damp low down. Student digs near the university, rental cottages and older office buildings all show it. The Midlands from Hilton to Howick has timber homes, cold bedrooms and plant growers, and Willowton and Mkondeni hold the industry.
The requests we see from Pietermaritzburg 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
- 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
- Growers, nurseries and farms: a spare unit hired for a tunnel or grow room during a humid spell, instead of buying one
