Western Cape notes on damp & mould services
Winter brings the heaviest load: <a href="/mould-removal/">mould removal</a> in Cape Town rentals and student digs, damp proofing of Victorian semis and old Cape Flats walls, and water damage drying after burst geysers and leaking roofs. Body corporates in Sea Point and Bellville deal with damp stairwells and basement garages. Hire units dry floors and plaster, and indoor pool halls at gyms need dehumidification.
Western Cape: the weather, the buildings and the damp
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.
The requests we see from Western Cape usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a home pool room or enclosed pool fitted with a dehumidifier so the windows and ceiling stay dry
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: a body corporate's shared indoor pool dried properly, with the quotes and service plan in one file
- Warehouses, archives and storage: a plant or storage area next to a pool hall protected from the wet air by ducting and seals
