What to know locally in Potchefstroom
Rising damp treatment is a common Potchefstroom job in older brick houses, usually a chemical damp-proof course, removal of salt-damaged plaster and new plaster, after paving or soil levels near the wall are fixed. Landlords also book mould removal between tenants and damp inspections before letting. Water damage drying follows storm leaks and burst geysers, and hire of dehumidifiers and air movers covers the drying stage.
Damp and humidity in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River where tree-lined old suburbs sit beside student digs, flats and newer estates. Winters are cold, dry and frosty; summers bring heavy thunderstorms. Older houses in the central suburbs and Die Bult often have damp-proof courses that are missing or bridged by paving, so rising damp shows on lower walls. Student rooms around the campus suffer condensation and mould when windows stay shut and washing dries indoors. Grain and farm stores, small factories and offices round off demand. Suppliers are local, with extra from Klerksdorp and Johannesburg.
The requests we see from Potchefstroom usually come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: units supplied to rentals serviced between tenants so they work when a damp complaint comes in
- Insurers, assessors and restoration firms: a fleet of hire units checked, cleaned and tested between jobs
- Hotels, gyms, spas and pools: units in guest rooms and spas serviced so they run quietly and do not leak onto floors
