Mthatha notes on moisture & air supplies
Hanging bags and calcium chloride tubs are cheap and need no power, which suits cupboards, clothes stores and small rooms where electricity is not reliable. Humidity meters tell you whether a room stays damp. Humidifiers matter less here, since the air is rarely dry, and silica gel packs can protect tools and spares in a damp shed.
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 silica gel and desiccant packs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: canisters in gun safes, camera cabinets and boxes of documents and keepsakes
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: packs left in a closed flat's safe or storage cupboard between tenants
- Builders, HVAC engineers and contractors: packs in tool boxes, equipment cases and site stores of fittings
