Homes and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards and date palms meet desert heat. Houses are mostly single-storey plastered homes with flat or low-pitched roofs, many with carports, stoeps and walled gardens. Temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees in summer, which cracks paint, bakes flat roofs and dries timber, so waterproofing, repainting and roof repairs are common. Hard water scales taps and geysers, and sandy soils shift around paving and walls. Farm owners nearby need shed, fence and gate work. Local jobs also include air conditioning prep, shade nets, pool surrounds and security gates. Hardware stores in town supply most building materials and paint.
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
- 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
- Older and character homes: treating rising damp in thick old walls with methods that let the masonry breathe
