Each problem is unique and requires a specific recognition and approach.<\/p>\n<h3>Moisture in the walls<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">Moisture in the walls<\/a> is a wider problem for walls saturated with moisture, often due to the combination of factors such as leaking pipes or old construction defects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> Due to dark, clammy stains present on the walls that do not seem to dry up, regardless of the weather. Sometimes the stucco feels soft or powdery when you push against it.<\/p>\n<h3>Damp basement<\/h3>\n<p>The basement is under constant pressure from the surrounding groundwater. During renovation, it is therefore the ideal time to make this space usable again and from <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">the damp cellar<\/a> make a valuable repository.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> There are puddles of water present on the basement floor after a rainstorm, the walls shining with moisture or salt standing as a white haze on the basement walls.<\/p>\n<h3>Rising damp<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">Rising damp<\/a> is one of the most persistent moisture problems, especially in older houses where a water barrier is missing. Groundwater then soaks up inside walls like a sponge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> Damp patches, loosening plaster or flaking paint limited to the bottom of the walls (up to 1.20 metres high). You often see a clear horizontal flood line on the walls.<\/p>\n<h3>Penetrating moisture<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/penetrating-moisture\/\">penetrating moisture<\/a> rain and wind penetrate through the external wall, often because the fa\u00e7ade has become porous or cracks are present in the pointing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> The presence of moisture stains that are higher up on the wall and often get bigger after a heavy rain indicate the presence of penetrating moisture. The spots are usually on the rain-side of your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Condensation moisture<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/condensation-moisture\/\">Condensation moisture<\/a> occurs when warm, moist air precipitates on cold surfaces in the house. In renovations, we often see this after installing new windows and insulation, as natural ventilation is then lost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> Drops on the inside of windows, moisture spots in the upper corners of rooms or on ceilings and a typical musty smell in the house.<\/p>\n<h3>Mould on the walls<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/fungi\/\">Mould on the walls<\/a> is not itself a moisture problem, but it is the direct result of an untreated moisture problem or lack of ventilation in the house. It is not only aesthetically disturbing, but more importantly, it is unhealthy for the inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> You see black, grey or green speckles on the walls. Usually in the corners, behind cupboards or around window mouldings. It is almost always accompanied by a recognisable mouldy smell.<\/p>\n<h3>Moisture in new-build homes<\/h3>\n<p>No, moisture is not only a problem when renovating an older home. Even in recent <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/moisture-problems-in-new-build-homes-can\/\">renovated homes, moisture can be a killjoy<\/a>. During construction, a huge amount of water is used for concrete and plastering. The excess water is then trapped in the foundations and construction of the house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you recognise it?<\/strong> Windows that constantly fog up and plaster that still shows dark spots after months or that won't budge. If you start painting too soon, the paint will not adhere and will therefore peel off.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><span class=\"btn-container\" ><a role=\"button\"  href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/free-expertise\/\" class=\"custom-link btn btn-custom-typo font-673431 font-weight-500 text-initial no-letterspace border-width-0 btn_redesign btn-color-103889 btn-circle btn-icon-left\">Our offer<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-3\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-3\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-3\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container onepage-section\" data-label=\"bestrijden\" data-name=\"bestrijden\" id=\"row-unique-4\"><div class=\"row col-no-gutter double-top-padding single-bottom-padding penta-h-padding full-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-left align_left column_parent col-lg-12 half-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-102089 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>How do you tackle moisture problems? AquaConsult's definitive moisture solutions<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p>At AquaConsult, we don't believe in a temporary patch-up. A renovation deserves <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/\">a structural moisture solution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Wall injection: an impenetrable barrier<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">wall injection<\/a> we drill small holes in the affected walls at regular intervals, just above the floor pass. Into these holes, we inject a high-quality, moisture-resistant gel or liquid under controlled pressure. This product spreads into the masonry and, once cured, forms a horizontal barrier that no longer allows a drop of water to pass through. This is used for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising damp<\/a> to efficiently get the walls cork dry so that they no longer soak up groundwater.<\/p>\n<h3>Basement sealing: a waterproof tub<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-waterproofing\/\">basement waterproofing<\/a> we make the basement walls completely waterproof again by applying several layers of cementitious fixing mortars and synthetic resin. We create a new, waterproof shell on the inside of your basement. The critical connection between the floor and the wall is also additionally strengthened in the process. This is used for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">damp cellars<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">moisture in the walls<\/a>. It is ideal for turning a damp storage room into a full-fledged hobby room or wine cellar.<\/p>\n<h3>Basement drainage: controlled water drainage<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the pressure of groundwater is so great that casing is not sufficient. In that case, we place <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-drainage\/\">a drainage system<\/a> on the floor or against the walls. A special studded membrane catches the water seeping in and directs it through channels to a collection point, where a pump automatically drains the water to the sewerage system. The walls are then finished tightly. This is used for stubborn <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">damp cellars<\/a> with very high groundwater pressure, where pressure must be removed.<\/p>\n<h3>Facade impregnation: Giving your property a mackintosh<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/facade-impregnation\/\">facade impregnation<\/a> we spray a colourless, water-repellent liquid over your facade. This liquid soaks deep into the pores of the brick. The result? Rainwater beads off the fa\u00e7ade, while the wall itself can still breathe. This way, any internal moisture can still evaporate to the outside. This is used for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/penetrating-moisture\/\">leaking moisture.<\/a> It protects the facade not only from moisture, but also from frost damage and pollution.<\/p>\n<h3>Mechanical ventilation: The lungs of your home<\/h3>\n<p>We install <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\">smart ventilation systems<\/a> which constantly monitors the humidity in the house. As soon as the air becomes too humid, the system drains the polluted air and brings in fresh, dry air. This is used for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/condensation-moisture\/\">condensation moisture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/fungi\/\">mould on the walls<\/a>. Ventilation systems are indispensable in any renovation where insulation levels are increased.<\/p>\n<h3>Concrete injection: sealing active leaks<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes water seeps in through shrinkage cracks or gravel nests in concrete structures. At <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/concrete-injection\/\">concrete injection<\/a> we drill holes at a 45-degree angle across the crack and insert special injection packers. Under high pressure, we inject a polyurethane resin that immediately expands as soon as it comes into contact with water. The crack is thus completely and permanently sealed from the inside out. This is used for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">damp cellars<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">moisture in the walls<\/a>, where there is active water seepage through cracks in the concrete walls or floor slabs.<\/p>\n<h3>Plastering: The salt-resistant finish<\/h3>\n<p>After moisture treatment, we install a salt-resistant membrane or use sanitising mortars, followed by a new, tight <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/plastering\/\">plaster<\/a>. This prevents residual salts from the wall from damaging your new finish. This is used in any solution to any moisture problem to ensure a lasting beautiful result.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-4\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-4\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-4\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container onepage-section\" data-label=\"bestrijden\" data-name=\"bestrijden\" id=\"row-unique-5\"><div class=\"row col-no-gutter double-top-padding single-bottom-padding penta-h-padding full-width row-parent\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-left align_left column_parent col-lg-12 half-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-102089 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>What does moisture control cost during a renovation?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Because every renovation project is bespoke, the cost depends on the severity of the damage and the technique.
