Mahikeng: the weather, the buildings and the damp
Mahikeng and neighbouring Mmabatho are dry, hot places, with a long dry season, summer storms and cool winter nights, so outdoor humidity is low most of the year. Damp still turns up indoors: condensation on cold winter mornings in small rooms in Montshiwa and Lomanyaneng, mould in bathrooms with no extractor fan, and leaks in flat government and municipal roofs after a heavy storm. Large office blocks, archives and records rooms in Mmabatho need dry, steady air, and a humidifier often matters more than a dehumidifier. Suppliers are limited, so firms from Lichtenburg, Klerksdorp and Johannesburg often quote.
The requests we see from Mahikeng usually come from:
- Offices, schools and clinics: a flooded floor extracted and dried so staff can return and records are protected
- Insurers, assessors and restoration firms: extra capacity, machines or specialist drying equipment brought in for a large claim
- Builders, HVAC engineers and contractors: drying and remedial advice after a leak on a build, before finishes are put on
