Damp and humidity in Brits
Brits sits on the flat farmland beside the Crocodile River and the Hartbeespoort basin, hot in summer with strong storms and dry and cold on winter nights. Mould and damp here come from three places: condensation in small unheated rooms in Letlhabile and Mothutlung, leaking roofs and walls after summer storms, and humidity around the Hartbeespoort Dam and irrigation canals, where holiday homes in Schoemansville are left closed for weeks. Irrigated farms, packing sheds, vegetable stores and small factories need dry storage. Suppliers come from Brits, Hartbeespoort and Pretoria.
Typical water damage restoration requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a burst geyser dealt with on the day: water extracted, wet materials removed and the house dried
- Warehouses, archives and storage: stock floors and walls dried after storm water, with pallets lifted and a drying plan in place
- Hotels, gyms, spas and pools: affected rooms dried quickly and kept apart from guests, with a plan to reopen
