Moisture control in the province of East Flanders: Aquaconsult
When it comes to moisture control, Aquaconsult is #1 in the East Flanders region. We are active throughout East Flanders. So we are active in Ghent, Aalst, Dendermonde, Geraardsbergen, Oudenaarde, Aalter, Sint-Niklaas, Lokeren, Deinze and Ronse. But you can also find us far beyond, in West Flanders, Antwerp, Limburg and Flemish Brabant.
Many East Flemings suffer from moisture problems in their homes. Moisture control can take all possible forms, such as a cellar seal in damp cellars or wall injections in the event of rising damp.
Due to the fact that many houses in the East Flemish province need moisture control, they often do not use their full potential and many spaces remain underused. This affects the quality of living (nobody likes to live in a house with damp air).
This also gives house fungi free rein to attach themselves to walls, which means that we regularly install mechanical and automatic ventilation systems in East Flemish houses. These have a very favourable effect on the humidity level of the house and of the walls.
Moisture control at different locations
Moisture control can take place at various places in the East Flemish house: the basement, bathroom, bedroom or living room. If the moisture problem occurs on the ground floor, there is often rising damp or mould.
Cellar: the most sensitive area for moisture problems in the East Flanders region
Depending on the region, some locations in the house are more sensitive than others. In East Flanders, for example, many cellars suffer from moisture problems.
When the moisture problem occurs on higher floors, it is more likely that you will have to deal with broken moisture or problems with the roof.
Cellar sealing and cellar drainage
One of the biggest uncertainties in moisture control is the difference between cellar sealing and cellar drainage. Both are incomparable and involve a completely different approach. With a cellar waterproofing, also known as basement drainage, the cellar is literally sealed: a new watertight layer forms a moisture barrier between the inner space and the damp outside area.
With cellar drainage, we work differently and we do not start to block the moisture but channel it. Drainage takes place in cellars where the ground water pressure is too high for a basement tank. Here the cellar moisture is drained to a central collection point, where a sustainable water pump pumps the water out. The great advantage of cellar drainage is the lower price and the lasting guarantee that the cellar will never again have moisture problems. This guarantee also exists in the case of a basement tank, although the ground water pressure plays a major role in the success of such a treatment. For this reason, be sure to have the cellar thoroughly analysed by a recognised Aquaconsult moisture expert during the free moisture expertise, so that you can be sure which treatment(s) your cellar is eligible for. We are very active in the field of moisture control in East Flanders with various local departments.
Ventilation system installed?
Would you like to have a ventilation system installed? Ventilating the room better is of course the most appropriate solution in the event of humidity problems associated with high humidity (think of moulds or condensation). In most cases, better ventilation of the room has a more preventive function, which is why we usually use it in combination with a moisture control technique that addresses the current moisture problem.
Take, for example, a damp cellar: the moisture often comes from rising ground moisture or groundwater that finds its way up through the cellar floor. Depending on the location and condition of the cellar, we opt here for a cellar seal or basement drainage as a solution. We then provide more ventilation in the cellar so that the room will never smell or feel damp or stale again.
