What to know locally in Rustenburg
Typical Rustenburg jobs include mould removal in bathrooms and bedrooms, waterproofing of flat roofs and parapets that leak in storms, and drying out after a burst geyser.

Landlords and buyers can book a damp inspection, and mines and contractors sometimes ask for installation of fixed units in change houses or stores. Ask whether the contractor will fix the cause, not only clean.
Damp and humidity in Rustenburg
Rustenburg lies at the foot of the Magaliesberg in the North West, hot in summer with strong afternoon storms and mild, dry, cold-at-night in winter. The main damp problems are indoors rather than outdoors: condensation in cold bedrooms in Boitekong and Tlhabane, mould in bathrooms of Safari Gardens and Cashan houses, and roof or wall leaks after heavy summer rain. The platinum mines and their stores, workshops, change houses and offices create steady demand for drying and humidity control. Suppliers are based in town and along the N4 toward Pretoria.
The requests we see from Rustenburg 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
- Factories and food plants: dehumidifiers fitted into a process area with ducting, controls and a commissioning check
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a fixed, drained unit installed in a rental with a condensation problem, with the paperwork for the file
