How do you recognize a moisture problem in West Flanders?
A lot of West Flemish people suffer in their homes from moisture problems. Moisture control can take any form such as a basement waterproofing for damp basements or wall injections If there is rising damp.
Because many homes in West Flanders County need moisture control, they often do not reach their full potential and many spaces remain underutilized. This affects the quality of living (no one likes living in a home with humid air).
This gives house molds free rein to attach to walls, which is why we also regularly install mechanical and automatic ventilation systems placed in West Flanders homes. These have a very beneficial effect on the humidity of the house and of the walls.
Basement: the most sensitive spot for moisture problems in West Flanders region
Moisture control can be done in several places in the West Flanders home: the basement, bathroom, bedroom or living room. If the moisture problem occurs on the ground floor, there is often rising damp or mold. They do often have similar symptoms. So it is important to have an expert come by to determine what the exact problem is. Only then can a lasting solution be provided.
Depending on the region, some locations in the home are more sensitive than others. This is due in part to the type of soil or proximity to a watercourse. In West Flanders, for example, many basements suffer from moisture problems. When the moisture problem occurs on higher floors, you are more likely to be dealing with penetrating damp or problems with the roof. The major cause of this is the much rain that falls in Flanders.
Basement sealing and basement drainage
One of the biggest ambiguities that exists in moisture control is the difference between a basement waterproofing and basement drainage. Both are not comparable and involve a completely different approach. Basement waterproofing, also known as basement waterproofing, literally seals the basement: a new waterproof layer forms a moisture barrier between the interior space and the damp exterior area.
At a basement drainage we work differently and are not going to block but channel the moisture. A drainage is done in basements where the groundwater pressure is too high for a basement drain. Here the basement moisture is drained to a central collection point, where a sustainable water pump pumps the water out. The big advantage of basement drainage is the lower price and the lasting guarantee that the basement will never have moisture problems again. That guarantee also exists with basement waterproofing, although there the groundwater pressure plays a big role in the success of such a treatment. Therefore, be sure to have the basement properly analyzed during the free moisture expertise. by a certified AquaConsult moisture expert so you can be sure which treatment(s) your basement is eligible for. In terms of moisture control we are very active in West Flanders with several local chapters.
Have a ventilation system installed?
Want to have a ventilation system installed? Ventilating the room better is the most appropriate option for moisture problems related to high humidity. Think of mold or condensation moisture. In most cases, better ventilating the space has a more preventative function, which is why we usually apply it in conjunction with a moisture control technique that addresses the current moisture problem.
For example, take a damp basement: moisture often comes from rising soil moisture or groundwater that finds its way up through the basement floor. We call this pocket water. Depending on the location and condition of the basement, we opt here for a basement waterproofing or a basement drainage as a solution. Then we provide more ventilation in the basement so the room will never again smell or feel damp and musty.
