Building conditions in Mossel Bay

Mossel Bay combines holiday-town housing with an industrial base around the harbour and the gas refinery. Much of the building work is on coastal homes, retirement estates and holiday complexes in Hartenbos, Dana Bay and along the bay, where salt air corrodes steel, fixings and window frames, so galvanised or stainless hardware and good paint systems are worth the cost. Sandy coastal soils are easy to dig but need compaction and suitable foundations. Wind and winter rain test roofs and plaster. Holiday homes often stand empty for months, so maintenance and repairs follow each season. Mossel Bay Municipality approves building plans for the town and surrounding coastal villages.

Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:

Coastal and holiday homes: seaside homes treat balconies and walls against wind-driven rain and salt-laden air
Security and lifestyle estates: modern flat-roof homes need regular membrane checks and recoating to keep their guarantees
Townhouse complexes: body corporates waterproof flat roofs and walkways across several units at once
Homeowners: homeowners waterproof flat roofs, parapets and balconies before the rainy season starts
Warehouses and workshops: warehouses seal sheeted roofs, gutters and skylights to protect stock and machines
Guesthouses and lodges: guesthouses and lodges waterproof decks, pools, showers and flat roofs between seasons
