What Is DampProofing?
DampProofing is an application that resists the passage of water with no hydro-static pressure and waterproof as a treatment that resists the passage of water under pressure. Dampproofing keeps moisture out of a building where vapor barriers keep interior moisture from getting into walls.
Moisture resistance is not necessarily absolute: it is usually defined by a specific test method, limits, and engineering tolerances.
Damp proofing is a moisture control system that is installed into walls and floors during construction phase. Thus, preventing moisture and other substances from entering interior spaces.
Properly installed damp proofing solutions will keep your walls protected against moisture and mould for decades to come.
Types of Damp
- Lateral Damp
- Rising Damp
- Penetrating Damp
- Condensation
The 2 main types of damp are ‘Rising Damp’ and ‘Lateral Damp’.
What Is Rising Damp?
Rising damp is moisture that is absorbed from the ground up into your walls and foundation via capillary action. It rises and enters through the brick work and mortar. Thus, any unprotected masonry has a 90% chance of naturally experiencing rising damp. Damp proofing solutions should be installed during construction phase however this is not always the case.
What Is Lateral Damp?
Lateral Damp is penetrating moisture. Penetrating damp is any type of external moisture that comes through interior spaces of an office or home. It can also be caused by missing o broken roof tiles, wind driven rain, plumbing pipes or gutters.
We have only happy clients who rely on our professional damp service and expertise. We will find the right solution to your damp problems.
There are several damp and moisture control treatments that can be installed to moisture ingress issues. When proper damp proofing is not applied, it leaves your foundation and walls with no protection. Thus, leading to mould growth, rising damp, flaking paint, musty smells and more! It can also lead to rotten skirtings, respiratory problems and insect breeding grounds. Avoid this by choosing us as your damp proofing experts. We are damp proofing professionals in Johannesburg.
