Case study on damp control in Aarschot: Rising damp successfully resolved
In Aarschot, the Roegies family had been struggling for some time with crumbling walls in their authentic terraced house, near the Demer plaster, peeling wallpaper and a musty smell in the living room. Our experts carried out the work on site in Aarschot a free damp survey and set out to tackle a persistent moisture problem with rising damp . Due to the naturally high groundwater level in the Demer Valley and the lack of a modern water barrier in the old foundations, groundwater was able to seep easily up through the walls of the house in Aarschot. To do this moisture problem in Aarschot to resolve once and for all, we first removed the damaged and salt-contaminated plasterwork on the ground floor. Next, we injected the walls carefully using a high-quality damp-proof injection gel. This gel spreads through the brickwork and forms an impermeable, horizontal damp-proof barrier that permanently blocks rising groundwater. We then installed a moisture-resistant salt membrane and refinished the walls to a professional standard plastering. The Roegies family’s home in Aarschot is now completely free of damp and in good condition once again, with finished interior walls and a pleasant, healthy indoor climate as the sustainable end result following professional damp-proofing from AquaConsult in Aarschot.
