Although Dampmen never ended up doing work on our property, the owner, Mischa, still took the time to provide me with incredibly helpful advice and guidance regarding the damp and mould issues we were experiencing. Even though it was a waterproofing and damp-proofing project they were unable to assist with directly, Mischa went above and beyond by giving me detailed recommendations and practical solutions to help resolve the problem.

It’s rare to find this level of honesty, professionalism, and customer service in the damp-proofing and waterproofing industry. If you’re dealing with rising damp, mould problems, moisture damage, leaks, or waterproofing concerns, I can absolutely see why Dampmen has such outstanding reviews. Their expertise in damp proofing, mould removal, waterproofing, and moisture control is clear from the first interaction.

Thank you again, Mischa. Your willingness to help, even when there was no business to gain, speaks volumes about your integrity and commitment to customer care. There’s a reason Dampmen is trusted by so many homeowners looking for reliable damp-proofing and waterproofing specialists.

Mischa from Dampmen. Picked up the problem quickly informing me I needed a demidifier and not an expensive solution.

Dampmen have carried out extensive waterproofing and maintenance repairs to my home in De Waterkant. They are unmatched in terms of quality of work and a unique approach and expertise to identifying and restoring waterproof and related structural work. This is a high watermark owner managed construction business probably the only in Cape Town I would recommend with certainty and confidence.

Dampmen are truly the best in the business. Ive used them at my house and my business and workmanship and professionalism was second to none. We had leaks at home and we tried so many people to try and get it fixed. None were successful in fixing the issue, in step Dampmen. Finally the issue was sorted and it's been perfect ever since. They are Brilliant.

We contacted Dampmen with a problem no one else seemed to know how to solve. Mischa came with a wealth of knowledge and compassion, and a solution to fix the problem from the inside out. The team were extremely professional, friendly, efficient and clean. Mid job they handled additional work to be done with no problems at all. We would highly recommend their company, the confidence they have in their work gives wonderful peace of mind thanks guys.

Dampmen did a great job for us at our home in Cape Town. Their team was kind and friendly, which we really appreciated during the four weeks they worked in our space. They worked as neatly as they could and would always take the time to clean up after themselves in the afternoons. Communication was clear, and they kept us updated on any schedule changes. We’d happily recommend Dampmen.
Mischa from Dampmen came to do an assessment regarding some mould issues at my property today. He was very generous with his time, and had lots of helpful advice. I found his knowledge, honesty and professionalism very refreshing. While the damp problem was resolvable without needing their assistance, I would have definitely gone with them had I needed to. This company was already recommended by a friend, who was happy with their work.

Dampmen managed to sort an ongoing issue at our property.

Highly recommend their technique of negative waterproofing.

They have a very competent team. I must also compliment the foreman on site Gavin for going the extra mile whilst on site.

Will use them again.

I would just like to thank Mischa and Wahlied and their team for their outstanding service and work!! They damp proofed my home over a period of 2 and a half weeks. They kept me up to date with progress at all times and worked in the most unobtrusive way possible. They cleaned up beautifully! Thank you also for going the extra mile by taking the initiative to fix related issues!! A real pleasure to experience such a company!

Kind Regards
Karen Nathan

I was recommended Dampmen by a friend who said they had successfully removed their damp problem. Also neighbours across the road had used them and the damp was gone.
I used them twice, in 2013 and 2015 for 2 garages, 2 long balconies and interior walls. The one garage literally had a stream running through it in winter and I could not park a car in it. This garage is now completely dry.
The damp was very bad and they have just been back now under the guarantee to fix some small spots where damp was still coming through in one room – this was 5 days of work done under their guarantee.
I recommend Mischa and his team; I have had project managers Wahlied and Eugene here and they have been great. I also left them alone in the house.
They take care to leave the house each day in a tidy state.

I have just had extensive damp proofing done in my home in Bakoven. The team that Dampmen allocated to me were totally amazing. Apart from doing an excellent job, the men went way beyond in terms of helpfulness, going the extra mile, punctuality, cleaning up, and just being really professional in their approach. A proudly South African experience. Thank you all so much. Highly recommended.

I’m am extremely impressed and delighted with the service I received from Dampmen, they recently waterproofed the inside of my home cutting away wall and floor; through a drywall and around plugs and plumbing. Garth and his team were fantastic – punctual, neat and tidy, courteous and reliable and I would recommend their services any day- thank you to Mischa for overseeing the team.

Just want to thank Mischa and his team for sorting out our downstairs room. It was a big undertaking and you guys did a fantastic job! Thanks for leaving everything neat and tidy and for being the amazing professionals you are! Great job well done….thanks again!

I had some serious damp issues at my house and approached various companies to try and assist. I had ridiculous quotes up to R500k, but not one company ever actually came to the party. Then i approached Dampmen and the service from Quote to completion was just superb. They were prompt, efficient, and thorough and most of all tidy and did not make a complete mess of the rest of the house while attending to the damp. i can really highly recommend them if you are looking for a professional company to deal with. Thanks Mark, Karen, Mischa and the rest of your incredible team.

Thank you Dampmen for such an incredible job you did on my little house. Fantastic team, attention to detail and all-round service. I am so happy with the end job and would recommend you to anyone!

Thank you Dampmen for an excellent job. Mark, who did the original assessment of our damp problem, was confident and clearly very knowledgeable. Mischa’s communication throughout the project was seamless, and Johnny and team were respectful, neat and thorough. We’ve had horrible experiences with building repairs in the past – but you guys were just great.

What a pleasure to deal with Mark yesterday. He contacted me very quickly after I sent him an enquiry, and made time to pop over and have a look at my property the same day (which he didn’t charge for, unlike other companies). In the end, he felt the issue wasn’t damp related, and was honest enough to say so, and advise me on an alternative solution. How wonderful to deal with such an honest, reliable contractor. Thank you Mark, if I ever have a damp problem in the future, I know exactly who to call.
