Western Cape notes on dehumidifiers
Home units are most in demand in the wet months, particularly compressor models with a laundry mode for drying clothes indoors in a Cape Town winter. Older south-facing rooms in Rondebosch and Muizenberg are often cold, so look at a desiccant unit or one with auto-defrost. Cellars, cold stores and packhouses around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester use industrial units.
Why damp turns up in Western Cape
The Western Cape has wet, cool winters from about May to August, and that is when damp surfaces. Victorian and Edwardian semis in Woodstock, Observatory, Kalk Bay and the southern suburbs, brick homes on the Cape Flats, sectional title flats in Sea Point and bungalows along the Garden Route from Knysna and George all struggle with condensation, mould on bedroom walls and washing that will not dry. The south-easter blows dry in summer, but winter north-westers bring rain. The Winelands around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester run cellars, cold stores and packhouses, and Cape Town's port and industrial areas such as Epping, Montague Gardens and Atlantis hold large warehouses.
Typical desiccant dehumidifiers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: dries a cold garage, a cellar or a spare room that never warms up in winter
- Warehouses, archives and storage: keeps a cold store or an unheated warehouse dry through the winter months
- Factories and food plants: holds a low, steady humidity in food, pharmaceutical or electronics process rooms
