What to know locally in Pietermaritzburg
Old Pietermaritzburg cupboards and wardrobes with solid brick behind them trap damp, so calcium chloride tubs and hanging bags help cheaply. Winter fires and dust make some households look at air purifiers, and a humidity meter is a cheap check before you buy anything bigger. Silica gel packs suit tool boxes, camera gear and boxes of archive paper.
Damp and humidity in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl of hills, with hot, wet summers and cool, drier winters, and the nearby Midlands above it are famous for mist. That mix means damp comes in two forms: muggy mould in summer and cold condensation in winter. The city has many old red brick Victorian and Edwardian buildings, in Scottsville, Pelham and the town centre, where solid walls and old plaster can stay damp low down. Student digs near the university, rental cottages and older office buildings all show it. The Midlands from Hilton to Howick has timber homes, cold bedrooms and plant growers, and Willowton and Mkondeni hold the industry.
The requests we see from Pietermaritzburg usually come from:
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: packs left in a closed flat's safe or storage cupboard between tenants
- Growers, nurseries and farms: packs in seed storage jars and in boxes of dry seed
- Offices, schools and clinics: packs in archive boxes, data storage and cabinets of equipment
