Construction solution
Wall Dampness & Protection
Diagnose and protect walls affected by dampness, fungus, peeling paint and moisture-related deterioration.
Solution overview
Understanding the application.
Nia Build provides practical solutions for walls affected by rising damp, moisture penetration, fungus, staining and peeling finishes. The appropriate system depends on the source and condition of the affected substrate, with treatment potentially including removal of deteriorated finishes, moisture treatment, waterproofing and protective coatings.
Common signs
What may be happening.
Damp patches, peeling or blistering paint, fungal growth, musty areas, staining, salt deposits and deterioration of plaster or wall finishes.
Assessment & considerations
Understand the conditions first.
Identify the source and extent of moisture before selecting a treatment. Assessment may consider external water penetration, rising moisture, leaking wet areas, cracks, plumbing, drainage, substrate condition and the existing wall finish.
Solution approach
Select an appropriate system.
Remove unsound or contaminated finishes where necessary, address the source of moisture, repair the substrate and apply an appropriate moisture-control, waterproofing or protective treatment before reinstating the required finish.
