Homes and weather in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town with tree-lined streets, many older Cape Dutch and Victorian-style houses, and student flats around the campus. Landlords and letting agents keep busy with between-tenant repairs, painting, door and lock fixes and plumbing leaks. Old homes often have tin or tile roofs, timber windows and ceilings that suffer from borer, damp and thunderstorm leaks. Summers bring hail and lightning, while winter frost can crack exposed taps and pipes. Newer complexes and Ikageng township housing add steady demand for tiling, fencing and gate repairs. Surrounding farms need outbuilding and fence work, and hardware stores in town stock most trade materials.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: treating rising damp in thick old walls with methods that let the masonry breathe
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: waterproofing flat roofs, dams, tanks and retaining walls on farmhouses and outbuildings
