How to get rid of dampness issues once in a lifetime?

Dampness is a stealth attacker when it comes to causing damage to the building whether you talk about terraces, walls, or floors; it spares nothing.

We at BuildingKaDoctor don’t take the dampness lightly and so shouldn’t you.

Our scientific approach and extensive use of moisture meter takes out the guesswork and helps us to arrive at an accurate damage assessment. Based on these calculations we recommend the different types of solutions that best suits your need.

This device helps us to detect the present condition of your wall and other concrete structures.

During an inspection the data collected allow you to see through the actual deterioration that has taken place.

In short, it presents a clearer picture of your house’s condition in a very transparent manner.

Hence with detailed detection of dampness, we’re able to track the source or cause of high moisture content if any. All this prep work sets the foundation for the rest of the things that follow next.

Now, when we talk about moisture, it is found trapped in the various parts of a building that could be due to leakage, stagnation of rainwater, or seepage.

Our preliminary job is to scan the targeted spots, taking moisture readings, and analyze to recommend a customized waterproofing solution that adequately addresses the issue at hand.

So, let me quickly run through the various moisture readings and the meaning associated with them.

Tranquillise the dampness monster before it swallows your building.

For interior walls

If the moisture meter reading is in the range of 0-5, then regular treatment can be carried out. This involves a small amount of surface-level preparation and painting procedures.

If this hovers in the range 6-10, then waterproof putty and sealant treatment can be opted as failing to do so could lead to severe problems in times to come.

If the reading is somewhere between the range of 11-25, then it clearly shows the walls were acutely damaged and need immediate remedial actions to stop further deterioration. At this point, an additional wall shielding agent is required along with waterproof putty and sealant treatment.

But if it is above the range of 25 then injection treatment is the way to go which comprises the usage of products like injection sealer, dampness blockers, waterproof putty, and sealant.

 

For roofs

If reading is up to 6, then no immediate waterproofing work is needed.

If the reading spans from 7-11, the product such as weather coating, roof guard, and minimal roof ground treatment is to be done.

In case if the moisture reading is between 12-15 and beyond then liquid techothane PU roof coating is needed. This should be done immediately without any further delay to check future damages.
