Dehumidifiers in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Compressor dehumidifiers work well on the warm, humid coast, and sit in bedrooms, bathrooms and laundry areas of flats in Umhlanga, Ballito and the Berea. Choose one with a continuous drain option for tall buildings. In the Midlands, cooler rooms in Howick or Hilton may suit a desiccant unit. Warehouses at the port and around Pinetown often need larger units on castors.
Why damp turns up in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal is the most humid province, and the coast from Port Shepstone through Durban and Umhlanga to Ballito and Richards Bay is warm and damp for much of the year, peaking in the summer months. Mould shows up on cupboards, shoes, leather, bathroom ceilings and the underside of mattresses in beachfront flats and older homes in Morningside, Berea and Glenwood. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands are cooler and misty, with cold, wet houses in winter. Durban's port, the Richards Bay terminals, sugar mills, food plants and logistics parks around Pinetown and Cato Ridge make industrial humidity a daily concern, and many suppliers and hire firms are based in Durban.
