Damp proof Plaster

We all have experienced damp issues in our property at some point in our lives. What happens once the problem has been solved? Your property should not be affected again by damp. To prevent damp coming back, there are many things you can do. We will show you how to remove damp plaster from your home, what damp proof plaster is good for, and how to apply it.

Damp Plaster Treatment

Like any other damp issue, identifying the root cause is key to addressing damp plaster. You can get damp plaster for many reasons, including condensation, rising damp and penetrating damp. Replastering is only possible after you have eliminated the source of moisture. There could also be other problems, like wood rot or dampness beneath the plaster. This is not obvious on the plaster. We recommend that a professional surveyor conduct an inspection to ensure there is nothing else. A surveyor can recommend installing a dampproof course before the walls are replastered to prevent rising damp. Your Newton home can benefit from damp proof plaster.

Damp Proof Plaster - What Are the Advantages?

For salt contamination prevention, damp proof plaster is most commonly used.

While dampproof plaster can provide excellent protection from the return of damp, it doesn't work in all cases.

Damp proof plaster is an excellent idea. It doesn't matter what rising damp treatment has been done to your property. No treatment can fix the salt or moisture contamination on existing surfaces that have been affected before remedial treatment takes place. You cannot undo any damage already done.

Hygroscopic salts are often used to describe the problem. This is due to the fact that Hygroscopic means "moisture attracting" and it should be dealt with!
