Welkom notes on moisture & air supplies
Welkom winters are dry and cold, so humidifiers are common for babies and dry-skinned sleepers, with a hygrometer to avoid condensation on windows. Moisture absorbers handle wardrobes and sealed cupboards. HEPA purifiers help with dust from the plains and mine dumps. Silica gel packs protect tools, electronics and records in mine stores. Anti-mould paint belongs in bathrooms once the cause is sorted.
Welkom: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Welkom is a gold-mining town on the flat Free State goldfields, with dry cold winters, hot summers and sharp thunderstorms. Outdoor humidity is low, so damp is usually indoors: condensation in cold bedrooms and small RDP-style homes in Thabong, mould in bathrooms of Riebeeckstad and Dagbreek houses, and leaks after storms when flat roofs and gutters fail. Mine workshops, stores, offices and records rooms across the goldfields, from Odendaalsrus to Virginia, need dry air for tools and electrical gear, and humidifiers matter in winter. Suppliers are mostly local, with help from Bloemfontein.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: canisters in gun safes, camera cabinets and boxes of documents and keepsakes
- Factories and food plants: packs for finished goods, electronics and spare parts in storage
- Landlords, agents and body corporates: packs left in a closed flat's safe or storage cupboard between tenants
