What to know locally in Pretoria
Older homes in Arcadia, Muckleneuk and Brooklyn are the usual damp-proofing jobs, with salt-damaged plaster to cut out and redo. After a summer storm a leaking flat roof or parapet in Sunnyside may need drying and mould removal before repainting. Landlords and buyers also order inspections, and restoration firms hire dehumidifiers after a burst geyser, usually with a moisture reading to show the walls are dry.
Damp and humidity in Pretoria
Pretoria is lower and a little warmer than Johannesburg, with the jacaranda streets of Brooklyn, Arcadia and Sunnyside full of older face-brick and plastered homes. Many of them have no working damp-proof course, so salts and peeling paint show on the lowest metre of wall. Student rooms around Hatfield and flats in Sunnyside and Arcadia see condensation on cold winter mornings, and the Apies River valley can hold cool air at night. Government offices, archives and the industrial areas of Silverton, Waltloo and Rosslyn add commercial demand. Suppliers and contractors are mostly east and south of the centre.
Typical dehumidifier hire requests in the area 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
- Offices, schools and clinics: a unit placed in a flooded server or filing room until the walls and boards have dried
