Damp & mould services in Randburg: local notes
Mould removal in rentals is the main service call in Randburg, from Blairgowrie flats to Northcliff townhouses, usually after a tenant complains. Older houses need damp proofing at the lowest wall and often replastering, so ask for the guarantee in writing. Burst geysers in ceilings lead to extraction and drying, and landlords pay for inspections between tenants to record the walls' condition.
Randburg: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Randburg is an older northwestern suburb full of 1960s and 1970s brick houses, townhouse complexes and flats around Ferndale, Linden and Blairgowrie. Many of these homes have thin walls, single-glazed windows and no ceiling insulation, so bedrooms feel cold in winter and show condensation and black spots in corners. Some older houses also have damp lower walls after paving was built up against them. Offices and light industry around Strijdom Park and Northgate add stock and storage needs. Hire firms and suppliers are within a short drive in Randburg and Bromhof.
The requests we see from Randburg usually 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
- Offices, schools and clinics: a unit fitted in a records room or basement with a drain and a humidistat so it runs unattended
- Factories and food plants: dehumidifiers fitted into a process area with ducting, controls and a commissioning check
