Opstijgend vocht Turnhout

When you are struggling with rising damp, the bricks in the wall draw the groundwater up through their capillary action. This indicates that the water barrier is absent or inadequate. As a result, all sorts of problems arise indoors: moisture spots appear on the surface, wallpaper comes loose, paintwork flakes, salts deposit ... Repairing the finishing coat? A new lick of paint? Those are only temporary Band-Aids on the wound.

When you are struggling with rising damp, the bricks in the wall draw the groundwater up through their capillary action. This indicates that the water barrier is absent or inadequate. As a result, all sorts of problems arise indoors: moisture spots appear on the surface, wallpaper comes loose, paintwork flakes, salts deposit ... Repairing the finishing coat? A new lick of paint? Those are only temporary Band-Aids on the wound.

Step 1 | Determine

Alles start met een uitgebreide vochtdiagnose. We komen ter plaatse, scannen je vochtige muur en brengen de oorzaken in kaart. Na de check-up bundelen we onze bevindingen in een helder rapport, dat een definitieve oplossing naar voren schuift. Dé onderbouwde basis om je opstijgend vocht in Turnhout aan te pakken!

Step 2 | Prepare

We always act with great respect for your home. Therefore, covering the floor with cardboard is a must. Then we remove the finishing layer of the wet wall, exactly to the agreed height. The debris is neatly cleaned up by our workmen.

Step 3 | Wall Injection

Up next? At the bottom of the wall, we drill holes 10 to 14 millimeters in diameter. We do this every 10 centimeters. Then we will inject your wall with the quality product Rewahgel inject A+++. This gel spreads into your wall for 3 to 4 weeks and forms a solid, horizontal moisture barrier, just above the floor. In this way, we put rising damp completely out of action.

Step 4 | Protect

We make every effort to combat not only rising damp, but also hygroscopic salts. These are often drawn upward, along with groundwater, and deposited. The result? Plaster and paintwork come loose again. We avoid this scenario by installing a salt-resistant membrane, which keeps your finish layer in its finest condition.

Step 5 | Finishing

Once the membrane is in place, roll up the sleeves to set your wall. Allow about 10 to 12 weeks of drying time before you can paint or wallpaper it. We recommend continuously ventilating your space during this period. At cold times, it's best to make sure you have minimal heating. By neatly waiting for the drying time, you can be sure of a spotless, moisture-free end result!
