Johannesburg notes on dehumidifiers
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.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: keeps rental flats from growing black mould on walls and cupboards, so tenant complaints stop
- Homeowners and tenants: dries a bedroom, lounge or laundry where condensation and damp washing are a winter habit
- Warehouses, archives and storage: protects stored paper, cardboard, textiles and electronics from damp air in a closed store
Local tips for Johannesburg
Common here: mould removal in rentals, damp walls in old brick houses, archive and stock rooms. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the inspector finds the source of the damp or only treats the stains. Where they work from: industrial belts around City Deep, Jeppe and Wynberg, plus the northern suburbs.
Dehumidifiers usually suit bedrooms, lounges, flats and small offices. How it works: A cold coil condenses water out of room air. For landlords, agents and body corporates, the biggest group here, that usually means keeps rental flats from growing black mould on walls and cupboards, so tenant complaints stop. On the weather: dry winters with cold mornings; summer storms bring roof and parapet leaks.
