Mthatha notes on dehumidifiers
Few dehumidifier sellers are based in Mthatha, so most units are ordered in from East London or further. For homes, a compact unit with a tank and a humidistat helps in a bedroom or a shut-up storeroom, particularly in the wet summer months. Check that the unit can cope with some power cuts and uneven supply, and ask about auto restart.
Why damp turns up in Mthatha
Mthatha lies inland in the hilly Eastern Cape, well away from the sea, and its summers are warm with heavy rain and mist in the valleys, while winter days are milder and drier but nights can turn cold. Damp here comes mostly from leaking roofs, poor drainage on steep ground, and condensation inside closed homes. The old town centre has brick buildings with roof and gutter leaks, while houses in Norwood, Southernwood and the surrounding villages mix brick, block and older rondawel-style construction. Most customers are homeowners, schools, clinics and local landlords, and many suppliers and contractors travel in from East London or Gqeberha.
Typical home dehumidifiers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: keeps a bedroom or lounge dry through winter and helps washing dry indoors without mould
- Builders, HVAC engineers and contractors: dries a freshly plastered bedroom or a snag-list room before the owner moves in
- Offices, schools and clinics: dries a small office, a consulting room or a stockroom that smells musty after rain
