How can I tell from my plasterwork that I am suffering from a moisture problem?

There are several ways you can recognise a moisture problem. In fact, there are a number of situations:

Is it a wall with only plaster? Then colour differences in the plaster may indicate a moisture problem. White salt circles or damp spots on the wall also indicate moisture.

Is the damp wall Painted or wallpapered, on the other hand? Then the paint peels off or the wallpaper comes loose. In other cases, the plaster itself comes loose or cracks appear.

Although the symptoms vary, you will quickly notice that there is a problem with that wall.

What should I do if my plaster is coming loose?

First and foremost, what you should not do is simply repaint, re-paint or re-plaster the wall without addressing the problem at the root cause. By re-plastering the wall, the problem may be out of sight, but not out of mind. In other words, it does not solve the problem. It is important to have a expert address to know exactly what the problem is and what needs to be done to solve that problem.

What are the causes of loose plaster?

When the plaster of your wall starts to come loose, it often indicates a moisture problem. Several moisture problems can be responsible for this, and the most common are:

Condensation moisture due to lack of ventilation or from cold bridges,

Penetrating moisture

Rising damp.

These problems are all solved in completely different ways. For example, in the case of penetrating damp, the façade is treated to make it water-repellent. This is done by means of facade impregnation or hydrofuge. In contrast, in the case of rising damp injected the walls with a damp-proof gel to block the path of moisture. Condensation, in turn, needs a mechanical or non-mechanical ventilation system. These problems must be solved before we start plastering. Otherwise, the problem will quickly resurface, forcing you to start plastering all over again, with all the attendant disadvantages.

Fixing loose plaster once and for all with AquaConsult

Typically, AquaConsult's moisture experts proceed as follows:

We remove the affected plaster up to about 1 metre above the pass of the house. As a result, we are creating a blank canvas.

We find out the exact cause of he moisture problem, and we apply the most appropriate moisture solution add. For example, if we determine that the loose plasterwork is due to rising damp, we will take all necessary steps to inject the wall.

Was the plaster also affected by salts? Then we first and foremost apply a salt-resistant film before we start plastering.

When we are done with this, we will finish the wall with plaster again.

The wall will look brand new again, and the moisture problem will be solved once and for all.

Our technical advisers have many years of experience in diagnosing damp problems and know best what exactly is needed to combat damp.

What are the benefits of plastering as a moisture solution?
