Homes and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, plus Mdantsane township inland. Housing ranges from older bungalows and flats to modern estates and townhouses. The humid, windy coast brings salt rust to gates, burglar bars and fittings, and mould to walls and ceilings. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters and leak flat roofs, balconies and parapets. Termites and borer attack timber, and sandy soils shift under paving. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, gate motors, tiling and plumbing repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates and garage doors worthwhile. Local merchants and hardware stores supply most materials.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: protecting roofs and walls from driving rain, salt and constant humidity
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- 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
