Homes and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, plus large township areas such as Thembalethu. Homes include older plastered houses, thatch-roof homes, estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so mould, damp walls, leaking roofs and blocked gutters are common. Termites and borer are active in timber and decks, and coastal homes face salt rust. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, deck repairs, roof repairs, fencing and security gates. Local hardware stores and merchants supply a wide range of materials.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- Townhouses and security estates: waterproofing shared balconies, parapets and podium slabs with body corporate approval
- Coastal homes: protecting roofs and walls from driving rain, salt and constant humidity
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: waterproofing flat roofs, dams, tanks and retaining walls on farmhouses and outbuildings
