Homes and weather in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, warm climate, with salt air along the coast and heavy summer rain. Around Durban, Umhlanga and Richards Bay, salt and humidity corrode gates, burglar bars and fittings, and damp causes peeling paint, mould and rotting timber. Inland near Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle, storms and hail damage roofs, while termites attack timber across the province. Housing includes coastal flats, suburban brick homes, townhouse complexes, older heritage houses and many township and rural homes. Hardware stores, paint shops and builders' merchants serve all the main towns, and delivery is widely available.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- Coastal homes: protecting roofs and walls from driving rain, salt and constant humidity
- Townhouses and security estates: waterproofing shared balconies, parapets and podium slabs with body corporate approval
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fixing leaking balconies, roof slabs and shower floors that damage the flat below
- 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
