MORE THAN PAINT
Treatment addresses the damp-affected construction rather than simply covering visible marks.
SERVICE 08
RISING DAMP TREATMENT
Specialist treatment for moisture rising through walls, damaged plaster and recurring low-level dampness.
01 WHAT WE DO
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.
BUILT TO LAST.
Rising damp can continue returning after repainting because the source is within the wall system. Treatment therefore requires more than cosmetic repair.
Houseline investigates the affected wall zone, removes failed finishes where required and applies a treatment strategy intended to interrupt or manage moisture movement before reinstatement.
The exact method depends on wall construction, site conditions and the extent of damage, but good preparation and correct sequencing are critical to a longer-lasting result.
SERVICE SCOPE
HOW WE CAN HELP
- 01
Damp-area assessment
Reviewing moisture patterns, wall condition and surrounding factors before selecting a treatment approach.
- 02
Removal of failed finishes
Taking off salt-contaminated, loose or damaged plaster where necessary to expose the treatment area.
- 03
Damp-control treatment
Applying the selected system to manage or interrupt rising moisture within the affected wall zone.
- 04
DPC-related solutions
Using damp-proof course materials or associated methods where appropriate to the construction.
- 05
Replastering & reinstatement
Rebuilding treated surfaces with suitable materials after the damp-control stage is completed.
- 06
Finish restoration guidance
Allowing appropriate drying and selecting finishes that do not immediately trap residual moisture.
02 WHY IT MATTERS
DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
CORRECT SEQUENCE
Removal, treatment, drying and reinstatement are planned as connected stages.
BETTER LONG-TERM FINISH
A properly treated base gives repaired plaster and paint a better chance of lasting.
