What We Do

Rising Damp Issues

RISING DAMP CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH AND STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS TO YOUR PROPERTY IF LEFT UNTREATED. AFTER TIME, YOU MAY SEE THE GROWTH OF MOULD AND MILDEW WHICH MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS AND ALLERGIES.

Treatment

AT M.A WATERPROOFING, WE REMOVE THE RENDER TO THE HIGHEST POINT WHERE THE RISING DAMP ISSUE IS VISIBLE. WE THEN DRILL 3 HOLES PER BRICK AT 10-12MM INTO THE FIRST MORTAR LINE WHERE POSSIBLE. AFTER CLEANING THE HOLES OUT, WE THEN INJECT THEM USING THE RISING DAMP SOLUTION CREAM AND ALLOW 7 DAYS BEFORE RE-INJECTING IF NEEDED. DURING THIS TIME, THE MORTAR BED WILL BECOME WATER REPELLENT ONCE THE CREAM IS ABSORBED.

Treatment Stage 2

WE THEN APPLY CEMENTITIOUS WATERPROOFING TO THE SURFACE TO ENSURE NO MORE MOISTURE CAN PENETRATE THROUGH THE BRICKWORK AND RENDER.
