What to know locally in Cape Town
Mould removal in rentals, from Woodstock and Salt River to Sea Point and the Cape Flats, is a busy winter trade, and the useful contractor traces the cause. Old Victorian and Edwardian houses need damp inspections and damp proofing, and restoration firms dry out after a burst geyser or a roof leak. Hire units are common for a few days after a leak.
Cape Town: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Cape Town's winters, roughly May to August, are cool and wet, and many homes get damp and mould then. Old Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, Edwardian houses in Observatory and Claremont, cottages in Kenilworth and Newlands, and low-cost homes on the Cape Flats all hold moisture in cold, shut rooms. Drying washing indoors adds a lot of water vapour, and the south-easter is a summer wind, so winter windows often stay closed. Seafront flats in Sea Point and Bantry Bay get salt air. Industry in Paarden Eiland, Epping and Montague Gardens, plus the docks, needs dry storage, and the market is full of suppliers.
