About DryCape

DryCape exists to make one frustrating job easier: finding a trustworthy damp-proofing or waterproofing specialist in Cape Town without your phone being besieged by cold callers.

Cape Town's wet-winter, Mediterranean climate means damp, roof leaks and mould come back every single year, and the trade has more than its share of fly-by-night operators and over-diagnosis. We built DryCape to cut through that: a clean, local, no-nonsense way to be matched with one vetted specialist who actually covers your suburb and your kind of problem.

What we are, and aren't

We are an independent introduction and comparison service for Cape Town homeowners. We are not a contractor: we don't do the work, we don't employ the specialists, and we don't provide workmanship guarantees (those come from the specialist you choose). That independence is the point, it means we're free to match you with the right professional rather than sell you our own services.

What we cover

Waterproofing, damp proofing, rising damp treatment, roof leak repair and mould treatment, across the Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard and Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. See all services and areas.

Free for homeowners
