Damp problems in a property are often detected through visible signs on interior walls. These warning indicators include persistent moist patches that refuse to disappear, flaky wallpaper and paint, and disintegrating plaster.
Black mould stains are also common on internal walls and ceilings, accompanied by a damp feel to the touch and an unpleasant musty odour. While these issues may be apparent inside the property, most of the moisture comes from outside walls.
To address excess moisture situations for both internal and external walls, cavity walls or garden walls, Sussex Damp Treatments offers reliable solutions at an affordable price point. With years of experience in dealing with damp problems across various types of properties, contact them today at 01273 257 212 for expert assistance you can trust.
Prevention is always the best course of action when it comes to property maintenance. Applying a protective coating to the exterior walls of your property can help prevent damp from penetrating or rising in the first place. However, if you have already experienced issues with dampness, treating it effectively and then applying damp proof paint to your exterior walls will provide long-lasting waterproofing protection for years to come. This approach not only addresses existing problems but also ensures that future issues are prevented as well. By taking proactive measures, you can safeguard your property against costly damage caused by moisture infiltration and ensure its longevity and value for years to come.
Understanding the limitations of moisture-proof paint for exterior walls is crucial. Dampness typically enters a building from outside, except in cases of condensation resulting from excess moisture and inadequate ventilation. Structural flaws can cause penetrating damp, where water seeps into interior walls from outside. Guttering helps deflect rainwater away from walls, but if it cracks, protection is lost and the walls become vulnerable to growing damp. Applying a thick coat of damp-resistant paint to exterior walls won’t solve these problems once they’ve been detected on internal walls. A detailed survey by our expert team will provide advice on solutions for your property’s specific issues with dampness. Contact us at 01273 257 212 to book an appointment today.
For centuries, bricks have been the preferred building material due to their permeability. Their sponge-like structure allows moisture to be collected and then evaporated, preventing damp from accumulating. However, modern buildings are constructed differently with water unable to travel through the primary construction. Instead, internal moisture is regulated via ventilation systems. This is in contrast to old structures with solid brick walls that absorb and release moisture through their porous structure like a sponge. Regardless of whether it’s outer moisture from rain or indoor humidity from cooking, cleaning or laundry, the process remains the same for these older structures.
The external walls of a building are the most vulnerable to weather conditions, particularly rainfall. Water can infiltrate a property through cracks or inadequate pointing in the brickwork. Even if the structure is sound, prolonged and heavy rain can prevent the walls from drying out completely. Damaged damp-proof membranes or ineffective courses may also compromise waterproofing. To ensure a long-term solution, it is recommended that water ingress damage be addressed before applying any waterproof coating on the wall. A professional damp proof specialist can analyse your building’s situation and provide you with effective solutions. Contact us at 01273 257 212 to schedule an evaluation survey for your property today.
In certain circumstances, the most effective solution to prevent dampness and erosion in brick and stone structures is to apply a clear moisture-proof exterior wall coating. This method does not compromise the building’s breath or alter its appearance, making it an ideal option for small houses as well as large mansions, pubs, hotels and commercial buildings. It is also suitable for grade 1 or grade 2 listed buildings and approved by architects meeting BS 6477 Standard for Groups 1,3 and 4.
The process of moisture evaporation through brickwork is distinct from air movement within walls. Even if a structure is fully sealed against cold draughts, the bricks must be allowed to breathe naturally in order to regulate temperature and moisture without interfering with their inherent permeability. However, proper ventilation is still necessary to prevent excessive moisture build-up and condensation while removing stale air. Installing a PIV unit can provide cost-effective ventilation for this purpose.
Penetrating damp is a form of moisture that infiltrates your property from the outside. It arises due to cracks or damage in the brickwork or pointing, which allow water to seep into the building rather than being absorbed naturally by the bricks. Over time, erosion and ze-throw damage exacerbate these fissures. Instead of completely sealing it off, penetrating damp can be treated by restoring the exterior wall to a high standard. Regular evaluations of your building’s exterior for cracks or rotted pointing are recommended so that they can be repaired before penetrating moisture develops.
