Common Damp Problems in Hermanus
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Mould in homes closed up for weeks at a time | Mould treatment and ventilation |
| Paint and plaster breaking down on walls facing the sea | Damp wall repairs, penetrating damp sealing |
| Sea-facing balconies and sliding doors leaking in winter storms | Balcony waterproofing and resealing doors and windows |
| Damp after winter rain on exposed walls and window surrounds | Penetrating damp repairs and sealing |
| Tide marks and salts low on walls of older houses | Rising damp treatment, DPC injection and replastering |
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Sea air. Salt and wind-driven rain wear down paint, sealants and window seals faster near the sea.
- Holiday homes. Houses closed up for weeks build up condensation and mould. Ventilation helps.
- Travel. Fewer contractors are based here, so some add a travel charge. Ask whether it is included.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Town and street area.
- 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.
