Why damp turns up in Welkom
Welkom is a gold-mining town on the flat Free State goldfields, with dry cold winters, hot summers and sharp thunderstorms. Outdoor humidity is low, so damp is usually indoors: condensation in cold bedrooms and small RDP-style homes in Thabong, mould in bathrooms of Riebeeckstad and Dagbreek houses, and leaks after storms when flat roofs and gutters fail. Mine workshops, stores, offices and records rooms across the goldfields, from Odendaalsrus to Virginia, need dry air for tools and electrical gear, and humidifiers matter in winter. Suppliers are mostly local, with help from Bloemfontein.
