Some contractors add a travel charge outside their base area, so ask whether it is included.
Common Damp Problems in Parow
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Tide marks and salts low on walls of older houses | Rising damp treatment, DPC injection and replastering |

Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Older houses. Many were built without an effective DPC, or have one bridged by later paving, soil or plaster.
- Commercial buildings. Offices, shops and warehouses often need after-hours work and phased access.
- Face brick. Porous bricks and worn mortar joints can let wind-driven rain through. Repointing or a breathable sealer may be needed.
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.
