Homes and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei, and large township areas in Mangaung. Many homes have corrugated iron or tile roofs, pressed ceilings and timber windows that need regular upkeep. Highveld thunderstorms bring hail, lightning and flash flooding, while frosty winters freeze exposed pipes. Clay soils move with the seasons, causing wall cracks and sticking doors. Common work includes repainting, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing repairs, gutters, fencing and gate motors. Landlords and body corporates serving student and flat blocks need dependable repairs. Hardware stores and builders' merchants are well spread across the city.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- Older and character homes: treating rising damp in thick old walls with methods that let the masonry breathe
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fixing leaking balconies, roof slabs and shower floors that damage the flat below
- Townhouses and security estates: waterproofing shared balconies, parapets and podium slabs with body corporate approval
- Township homes and extensions: sealing flat concrete roofs and treating damp walls on extensions and backyard rooms
- Shops, offices and rentals: re-sealing large flat roofs, gutters and parapets on shops, offices and warehouses
