Why get your walls injected?

Rising damp affects your walls in both visible and invisible places. There are of course aesthetic reasons to combat rising damp such as spots on the wall, paint coming loose or wallpaper coming loose. But did you know that moisture control also has financial and value-added benefits for the house? Here are some good reasons to quickly tackle all the moisture problems in your home:

  • A damp wall creates a musty, heavy air;
  • Mould thrives on damp walls;
  • Living in damp rooms is not good for your health (think people with asthma);
  • A damp basement greatly reduces the value of the property;

It is important to inject only the walls affected by rising damp. For this, the moisture analysis is very important, and AquaConsult can assist you with this. Such an initial site visit is always free of charge and is always done by a qualified AquaConsult moisture expert with specialised equipment.

What does wall injection involve?

What exactly do wall injections entail? Well, the principle is actually quite simple. When we treat walls against rising damp using wall injections, we proceed in a very specific way.

1. Preparing the wall for injections

First, the wall is prepared for injections. Here, plasterers repair all cracks in the damp wall. Next, holes need to be drilled in the wall at skirting board level.

2. Injecting walls with damp-proofing products

In the second step, we skillfully inject the wall with damp-proofing gel that quickly forms a water barrier layer in the pores of the wall. Immediately after injecting the wall, the gel spreads deep into the pores of the wall. The substance hardens well to form a continuous, permanent horizontal barrier. As a result, rising moisture no longer sees a passage and the wall can dry out nicely.

The depth and strength of the water-repellent layer that subsequently forms is highly dependent on the quality of the waterproofing gel. So be very picky in your choice of gel, as it is very decisive for the durability of the procedure. After all, you don't want to find out after ten years that you can start all over again. AquaConsult therefore chose only the highest quality products, including the top products from Rewah NV.

This does not affect our prices, feel free to compare yourself! However, it does have a major impact on the durability of the treatment. How does this manifest itself? Well, where others get into trouble again after 5 to 10 years on average due to the deterioration of the waterproofing layer, Aqua Consult offers a guarantee of at least 30 years specifically on wall injections.

How much does injecting walls cost?

Many people wonder how much injecting walls costs. However, the answer to this is not so easy to give without knowing all the parameters:

  • What is the area of the affected wall?
  • Is the moisture problem located only in the walls or also in the floor?
  • What type of wall needs to be treated? Is it an internal wall? An exterior wall? Is it a cavity wall?
  • Is the problem located in the basement or on the ground floor?
  • Are you eligible for My Rebuilding Premium from the Flemish government?
  • Which finish do you choose afterwards?
