Homes and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, with many uniform mine-era brick houses, some now in need of renovation. Bronville, Riebeeckstad and Doorn have older homes, while Thabong has dense township housing. The flat Free State plains bring hot summers, hail and lightning, and cold dry winters with frost. Mine closures have left many homes with deferred maintenance, so roof leaks, cracked plaster, rotten ceilings, old wiring and failed geysers are common. Owners often need repainting, tiling, security work and gate repairs. Landlords and agents refurbish for new tenants. Local merchants stock bricks, cement, paint and roofing, and delivery from Bloemfontein is available.
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
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fixing leaking balconies, roof slabs and shower floors that damage the flat below
- Shops, offices and rentals: re-sealing large flat roofs, gutters and parapets on shops, offices and warehouses
