Damp & mould services in Brits: local notes
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.
Brits: the weather, the buildings and the damp
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.
Typical dehumidifier installation requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a wall unit fitted in a damp bedroom or a portable unit given a drain, so no tank needs emptying
- Growers, nurseries and farms: units installed in a tunnel or grow room with drains and controls tied to a target humidity
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a fixed, drained unit installed in a rental with a condensation problem, with the paperwork for the file
