Moisture problems, the solutions and their price tag
Moist walls
Do you suffer from damp walls? This may be the result of several types of problems. Each of these problems requires its own solution:
Rising damp is a common problem often caused by a poor or missing water barrier. This allows soil moisture to migrate up into the walls, leading to moisture spots, mold and even damage to plaster and paint.
The most effective solution to this problem is the injecting the walls or from concrete with a special damp-proofing agent. This agent forms a barrier that prevents moisture from rising further, allowing the wall to become dry again.
Cost: from €100 per running meter.
In case of penetrating damp rainwater penetrates a building's exterior walls. This often occurs in older homes with damaged facades or porous bricks that are no longer sufficiently water repellent.
To effectively address penetrating moisture, it is essential to protect the exterior wall from further water infiltration. At AquaConsult, we are committed to facade impregnation. In this method, a transparent and water-repellent layer is applied to the facade, which prevents rainwater from penetrating the wall.
Cost: from €8 per square meter.
Condensation occurs when moist, warm air comes into contact with a cold surface, where the air then condenses. Persistent problems with condensation can lead to damp walls, mold and musty air.
The main solution to condensation moisture is ventilation, where you can opt for a mechanical ventilation system, such as balanced ventilation. This offers an efficient and sustainable approach by removing moist air and bringing in fresh air
Cost: from €1,000
Damp basement or crawl space
Also, re-drying a basement requires customization and begins with an expert determining the cause and recommending an appropriate solution. In some cases, one of the solutions mentioned above will suffice (injecting walls, impregnating facade or a ventilation system). In other cases, basement waterproofing or drainage (or a combination) will be necessary.
Basement sealing, also known as cupping, involves the capping of basement walls and floors to treat them in several stages with waterproof cement layers, which may include ceramic tiles as a finish.
Cost: from €50 per m²
Basement drainage is a sustainable solution in which a bubble membrane directs water to a drain, then an automatic pump pumps the water away and the basement is finished with a concrete layer.
Cost: from €3,000
