Homes and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and large townships such as KwaNobuhle. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts, strong winds and occasional heavy rain that finds old flashings and gutters. Dusty conditions and sun wear paint quickly. Typical jobs include roof repairs, repainting, ceilings, plumbing, paving, fencing and security gates. Heritage buildings in the central area need careful repair. Farms along the Sundays River and Addo need outbuilding and fence work. Local merchants supply building materials.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: waterproofing flat roofs, dams, tanks and retaining walls on farmhouses and outbuildings
- Shops, offices and rentals: re-sealing large flat roofs, gutters and parapets on shops, offices and warehouses
