What to know locally in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg most home buyers want a compressor unit for a bedroom or a laundry corner, mainly in the cooler months when washing will not dry outside. Rooms in older Melville and Parkview houses often sit cold, so ask how the unit copes below about 15 degrees. For paper and stock stores around City Deep and the CBD, castors, a drain hose and a humidistat matter more than raw litres a day.
Johannesburg: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Johannesburg sits high and dry for most of the year, so damp here is local rather than general. It shows up in the old brick houses of Melville, Parkview and Observatory, where a failed damp-proof course lets moisture creep up the lower walls, and in cold south-facing bedrooms in winter. Inner-city blocks in Berea and Braamfontein, student digs and crowded rentals add condensation from washing dried indoors. Basement parking and storage under Rosebank and Sandton blocks can stay clammy after summer storms. Suppliers, hire firms and damp contractors are spread across the metro, with warehouse stock in the industrial belts south and east of the CBD.
