Some contractors add a travel charge outside their base area, so ask whether it is included.
Common Damp Problems in Stellenbosch
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Damp in thick old walls, often worse where cement plaster or sealing paint covers lime plaster | Rising damp treatment and breathable plaster repairs |
| Tide marks and salts low on walls of older houses | Rising damp treatment, DPC injection and replastering |
| Condensation and mould in rooms with little ventilation | Mould treatment and extractor fans |
| Leaking showers staining walls and ceilings | Shower waterproofing |
| Damp on walls built into the slope and on split levels | Lateral damp treatment, retaining wall waterproofing |
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Heritage buildings. Buildings older than 60 years may need heritage approval for some external work. Lime-plastered walls should not be sealed with cement plaster or impermeable paint.
- Rentals. Many properties are let. Landlords usually arrange repairs, and tenants should report damp in writing.
- Estates and complexes. Many need HOA or body corporate approval, contractor access forms and set work hours.
- 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.
