East London notes on damp & mould services
Mould removal in rentals in Vincent, Nahoon and the beachfront is a steady job, and a good contractor traces the leak or the missing ventilation. Older Southernwood and Vincent houses benefit from a damp inspection and proper damp proofing. After storms or a burst geyser, restoration firms dry out ceilings and floors, and short hire of units helps in between.
Why damp turns up in East London
East London sits where the Eastern Cape coast gets warmer and more humid, with rain in all seasons and heavier falls in summer. Sea mist rolls in off the Indian Ocean, and houses near the Esplanade, Nahoon and Gonubie suffer salt and damp together. Older homes in Vincent and Southernwood have high ceilings and solid walls with patchy damp-proof courses, and flats along the beachfront grow mould behind wardrobes. Mdantsane is a huge residential area with tightly built homes and condensation. The harbour, the motor industry and the many warehouses around the industrial zones need dry storage, while Bhisho and Qonce, inland, are cooler and misty.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a bedroom unit that stopped collecting water in winter cleaned, checked and brought back to work
- Warehouses, archives and storage: several units on castors serviced in one visit with filters, drains and pumps checked
- Hotels, gyms, spas and pools: units in guest rooms and spas serviced so they run quietly and do not leak onto floors
