Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Face brick. Porous bricks and worn mortar joints can let wind-driven rain through. Repointing or a breathable sealer may be needed.
- Extensions. Flat-roofed additions and joins between old and new walls are common leak points.
- Winter rain. Most rain falls from May to August, and outside repairs need dry weather. Book early for spring.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does damp proofing cost in Bothasig?
As 2026 ballparks, chemical DPC injection is roughly R350 - R750 per linear metre, and rising damp treatment with replastering about R450 - R1,600 per linear metre. The cause and the area affected set the price.
Why does my extension leak where it meets the house?
The join between old and new walls and roofs needs a proper flashing or seal. Movement there often cracks it.
Is the site inspection free?
It depends on the contractor. Some quote after a free site visit, others charge an assessment fee, especially for a written report.
Will every contractor cover my part of Bothasig?
No. Relevant contractors that cover your area respond, and numbers vary by job.
What should I send with my request?
Your suburb or estate, where the damp is, whether it changes with rain, and photos inside and outside.
