Homes and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene, and nearby Empangeni and Esikhaleni. Homes are mostly face-brick or plastered houses, townhouses and flats built since the 1970s. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain cause rust on gates and bars, mould, stained ceilings and leaking flat roofs. Termites are very active, and sandy coastal soils shift under paving and boundary walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, burglar bars, gate motors and garage door repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates a priority. Local merchants supply most materials, with extra stock coming from Durban.

Typical waterproofing products requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: flexible, UV-stable coatings that handle driving rain, wind and salt on exposed roofs
- Suburban houses: torch-on or liquid rubber for flat roof sections above garages, patios and extensions
- Townhouses and security estates: approved products for shared flat roofs, parapets and balconies maintained by the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: balcony and shower waterproofing in small tins that suit limited spaces
- Township homes and extensions: roof sealants and bitumen coatings for sheets and flat slabs that leak in heavy rain
- Shops, offices and rentals: large-roll membranes and roof coatings for warehouse, shop and office flat roofs
