North West notes on damp & mould services
After a heavy summer storm, leaks through flat roofs and parapets are the usual call in Rustenburg, Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp, and burst geysers add ceiling damage that needs drying out. Rentals near the Potchefstroom campus need mould cleaning between tenants. Contractors travel to farms and small towns on request, and <a href="/damp-inspections/">damp inspections</a> are worth ordering before buying an older home around Lichtenburg or Brits.
Damp and humidity in North West
North West is mostly flat bushveld and farmland with low winter rainfall, so outdoor damp is not the issue. Trouble comes indoors: cold, unheated rooms in Mahikeng and Lichtenburg where breath and showers condense on outside walls, summer storms that find leaks in flat roofs and old tin, and the dams around Hartbeespoort and Brits, where holiday homes stand shut for weeks and go musty. Rustenburg's platinum belt and Klerksdorp's mining and engineering firms use workshops, stores and electrical rooms that need dry air, and maize and sunflower silos on the western plains want moisture control for stored grain. Suppliers are mostly in Rustenburg, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom, with a lot of stock coming from Gauteng.
The requests we see from North West usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a bedroom unit that stopped collecting water in winter cleaned, checked and brought back to work
- Growers, nurseries and farms: units that run all day in a tunnel or grow room cleaned and checked before the humid season
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: units supplied to rentals serviced between tenants so they work when a damp complaint comes in
