Damp and humidity in Kariega
Kariega, long known as Uitenhage, lies inland of Gqeberha in a drier, sheltered basin below the Winterhoek mountains. Summers are hot and winters are cool, and the damp is less of a coastal mist and more of a seasonal cold and condensation problem. Older homes in the Rosedale and town centre areas have solid walls and weak ventilation, while newer houses and the large township of KwaNobuhle see condensation in bedrooms and bathrooms during winter spells and rain. The town is built around the motor industry, with component factories, stores and logistics yards that need dry air for stock, and a long wool and textile past.
Typical home dehumidifiers requests in the area come from:
- Factories and food plants: dries a small packing room, a staff changing area or a control room
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: gives a damp rental flat a unit that tenants can run without a technician call-out
- Builders, HVAC engineers and contractors: dries a freshly plastered bedroom or a snag-list room before the owner moves in
