Homeowners across Johannesburg are facing a growing problem that many only notice once the damage is already advanced. Rising damp, a form of moisture that travels upward through walls due to a failed or missing damp proof course, has become more widespread in older properties and even in some newer buildings. Waterproofing Johannesburg has launched a renewed drive to help residents identify and treat rising damp early, while educating the public about the structural and health risks linked to ongoing moisture infiltration. The company, which serves Johannesburg and surrounding Gauteng suburbs, has seen an increase in calls from property owners worried about flaking plaster, bubbling paint, earthy smells, damaged skirting boards and visible salt deposits. These symptoms often indicate moisture rising through masonry. If left untreated, rising damp can weaken building materials, increase the risk of structural damage, and reduce the value of a property. Their damp proofing specialists in Johannesburg believe that a combination of changing weather patterns, aging building infrastructure, and poor previous waterproofing work has contributed to the current rise in cases. Rising damp typically appears on lower wall sections, and the signs can be subtle at first. Many homeowners only realise the seriousness of the issue when they begin to see mould growth or peeling plaster. According to Waterproofing Johannesburg, rising damp is not simply a cosmetic issue: it affects brickwork integrity, plaster adhesion, and over time can compromise the stability of a wall as moisture continues to climb through capillary action. To counteract this, Waterproofing Johannesburg has strengthened its assessment and repair programme for damping issues. The process begins with detailed moisture testing, followed by a diagnostics stage to identify the source of dampness. A qualified technician then evaluates the existing damp proof course, if any, and recommends the best long-term …

Recommendations to Reduce Risk of Children Drowning in Swimming Pools
CVP Projects has ameliorated its client satisfaction standards by incorporating modern standards in swimming pool designs in a bid to reduce chances of children drowning. Johannesburg, South Africa, 29th Jan 2019 – Drowning statistics in South Africa indicate that more than one child drowns every day. A large number of them are below 14 years or age and most of them drown in pools. As a homeowner, you need to go to great lengths to find the best way to keep prevent such an ordeal from happening to your loved ones. In the wake of the release of these statistics, Mr. Rendani Mashau, the owner of CVP Projects and Swimming Pools, which is a company that operates in Johannesburg and Pretoria, advised the general public to take more consideration in their swimming pool designs. He advised them that no matter the design or the location of the pool, it is necessary to incorporate measures to prevent your children from accessing the pool. “Anyone with any child can be affected by pediatric drowning,” Mr. Rendani said, “and it is our duty as parents and swimming pool constructors to ensure that these little angels don’t fall victim to pediatric drowning.” Drowning can occur in both children who have learnt how to swim and those who are too young to start taking swimming lessons. When you are with children around a body of water, it is critical for you not to be distracted. However, when you are away, you need a measure to prevent kids from reaching the pool area. According to Mr. Mashau, the best way to do it is to implement a good fence around your pool. Previously, most people were reluctant to install fences around pools due to aesthetics. However, with the modern fencing options, you can make your pool fence part of your home’s décor. Parents and guardians should also take an extra step to ensure that doors and gates are locked and that children don’t get access to water bodies without the presence of an adult. Remember that children love water and pools …

How Internet Connectivity is Slowing Down Pay Tv Growth in Africa
Cape Town, December 15, 2018 – The internet has really changed how people do business around the world. Its efficiency and convenience are beneficial to almost every industry. The pay TV sector being one of them. Gone are the days when homeowners and businesses relied on TV aerials for transmission of signals in order to watch favourite television shows, movies, and sports. The internet has redefined television viewing across the globe. Unfortunately, here in Africa, it would be a while before everybody gets to enjoy benefits of pay TV. That is because for one to be connected to the service they need internet connectivity, which isn’t available in many areas around the continent. According to statistics, only 35% of Africa’s population had access to the internet by the end of 2017. The percentage is distributed unevenly between the countries, with the more developed states like South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal having more than half of their population connected to the internet. The connectivity is mainly focused around urban areas where wired infrastructures are already in place, hence making the set-up process easy and cost-effective. Mr. Clinton Francis, the owner of Supersat DStv Installation Cape Town, noted that there is a growing demand for diversification of content which is made possible by the availability of pay tv. “MultiChoice is doing a very good job with its pay tv service called Showmax. They provide clients with many hours of both local and international content which they can view comfortably from their televisions, personal computers, smartphone, or tablet – provided they are logged in and there is internet access.” As more pay TV solutions are gearing to take over the market, and local content producers like “Nollywood” in Nigeria working tirelessly to produce quality movies and series, the entire industry will grow faster once internet connectivity reaches more areas in a couple of years. “After working in the industry for …

Cockroaches Are Annoying, But There Is More to an Infestation
Cockroaches Are Annoying, But There Is More to an Infestation Lots of diseases in the world today are caused by pests and cockroaches are no exception. Though at a glance they may seem harmless, studies show that they can cause very serious illnesses. Samantha young a pest expert, talks about the illnesses they cause and how homeowners can stop them from encroaching into their homes. Cape Town South Africa, December 5th, 2018: Cockroaches are some of the most resilient insects which makes them hard to get rid of. With a short maturity period and an ability to survive in almost all climates around the world, their elimination can be a daunting task. With all the facts known about them, however, killing them has become quite necessary, especially in South Africa, where the environment is favorable for them to reproduce widely. It’s hard to imagine, but a few millennia’s ago, cockroaches were appreciated in South Africa especially by the Zulu people. They had grass bowls which they used for eating and for obvious reasons, they couldn’t use water to clean them; instead, they left them in the open for the roaches to eat the food particles in the crevices of the bowls. However, a flashback to today, a battle has been waged against them and most South Africans will kill them on site without thinking twice about it. The temperate climate found in the region provides an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. According to Samantha Young, a pest expert in Cape Town, finding these cockroaches in clean homes is not uncommon. The German cockroach and the American species are the most common and can be found in most parts. She goes on to add that in the life of one female cockroach, which is about 6 months, hundreds upon hundreds of eggs can be laid. With each breeding cycle producing up to 48 eggs. “Cockroaches are a bit mysterious preferring to lurk in the dark and only coming out to eat when it’s dark”. They will feed on anything from food crumbs that have …
