What to know locally in Sandton
Body corporates in Sandton and Morningside call out contractors for leaking basement walls and parking slabs, and for mould behind cupboards in apartments.

Pool plant servicing, installation of ducted dehumidifiers and written damp inspections for buyers and insurers make up much of the rest.
Damp and humidity in Sandton
Sandton is the city's high-rise business district, so damp here looks different from older suburbs. Underground parking and plant rooms below the office towers and apartment blocks can stay clammy after heavy summer rain, and gyms and hotels with indoor pools in Sandton and Morningside need dehumidification to protect ceilings and steelwork. Older houses in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Illovo can have walls without a working damp-proof course, and large homes with lots of glass and basement cinemas or wine rooms add moisture issues. Suppliers and HVAC firms are well represented in Sandton and nearby Rivonia and Sunninghill.
Typical water damage restoration requests in the area come from:
- Hotels, gyms, spas and pools: affected rooms dried quickly and kept apart from guests, with a plan to reopen
- Offices, schools and clinics: a flooded floor extracted and dried so staff can return and records are protected
- Homeowners and tenants: a burst geyser dealt with on the day: water extracted, wet materials removed and the house dried
