Rising damp is a common problem in older buildings and can cause damage to the walls and foundations of a structure. It occurs when water from the ground rises up through the pores and cracks in a building’s walls, causing damage to the plaster and paintwork, as well as creating an environment conducive to mold growth.
SMDA is a company that specializes in the treatment and restoration of rising damp. They use a combination of techniques to address the problem, including the installation of damp-proof courses, the use of chemical treatments, and the replacement of damaged plaster and other building materials.
One of the key methods used by SMDA is the installation of a damp-proofing course, which is a barrier that is inserted into the walls of a building to prevent water from rising up through the pores and cracks. This can be done by injecting a liquid or paste-like substance into the walls, which then hardens to form an effective barrier.
In addition to damp-proof courses, SMDA also uses chemical treatments to address rising damp. These treatments involve the injection of a chemical solution into the walls, which then reacts with the water and causes it to evaporate, effectively drying out the walls and preventing further damage.
Another important aspect of rising damp treatment and restoration is the replacement of damaged building materials. This may include the replacement of damaged plaster, as well as the repair or replacement of any structural elements that have been affected by the damp.
Overall, SMDA’s approach to rising damp treatment and restoration is comprehensive and effective, using a combination of methods to address the problem and prevent further damage to the building. We use the right technique according to the severity and type of dampness in the building.
