Pretoria-based waterproofing specialist addresses two of the most common — and most misdiagnosed — property issues facing homeowners in the region.
PRETORIA, GAUTENG — TT Waterproofing has published two new resources aimed at helping homeowners understand and address damp damage and foundation deterioration before costly repairs become unavoidable. The guides tackle problems that the company’s team encounters regularly across Pretoria, Centurion, and the wider Gauteng region — and that property owners frequently misidentify.
Damp in a home rarely announces itself with a single obvious cause. A musty smell, discoloured patches on a wall, mould creeping into a corner — most homeowners recognise the symptoms but misread the source. The wrong fix applied to the wrong type of damp doesn’t just waste money. It lets the real problem keep working behind the scenes. Meanwhile, recurring wall cracks that get filled and repainted every few months often have nothing to do with the walls at all — and everything to do with what’s happening beneath the property where no one thinks to look.
The two articles cover distinct but related ground. The first breaks down the three main forms of damp — rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation — exploring where each shows up, what distinguishes them visually, and why a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment backfires. The second examines why concrete foundations absorb ground water, how Gauteng’s clay-heavy soils accelerate the process, and what the connection is between a saturated slab and the cracks that keep reappearing upstairs.
One detail that tends to surprise readers: newer properties are not exempt. Homes only a few years old can already show signs of foundation movement when waterproofing steps were compressed or skipped during construction.

Building Trust During the Great Depression: The Great Depression touched every aspect of American life – including the communications business. Due to the economic downturn, companies primarily sought to build trust rather than sell products. The result? Most turned to PR over marketing, with PR even getting top billing on organizational charts! Advertising spending, meanwhile, plunged by more than 60 percent between 1929-1933 and would not fully recover until after World War II. (Source: MuckRack; Encyclopedia.com)
