Homes and weather in Free State
Free State homes sit on open Highveld plains with cold winters, hot summers and fierce storms. Hail, lightning and strong wind damage roofs, gutters and electrical equipment, and expansive clay soils open cracks in walls, floors and paving. Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem have older sandstone and face-brick homes, newer complexes, mining and farm housing, and township houses that are extended over time. Frost can burst exposed pipes, so plumbing repairs rise in July. Hardware stores and builders' merchants serve each main town, and farm and small-town jobs often need bulk delivery by truck.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- Farms and smallholdings: waterproofing flat roofs, dams, tanks and retaining walls on farmhouses and outbuildings
- Township homes and extensions: sealing flat concrete roofs and treating damp walls on extensions and backyard rooms
- Older and character homes: treating rising damp in thick old walls with methods that let the masonry breathe
- Townhouses and security estates: waterproofing shared balconies, parapets and podium slabs with body corporate approval
- Shops, offices and rentals: re-sealing large flat roofs, gutters and parapets on shops, offices and warehouses
