Repaint with anti-humidity paint<\/h3>\n<p>This is the biggest and most common mistake when it comes to fighting moisture. Getting rid of a damp wall or mouldy spot with special paint seems quick, but you are locking the moisture in, so to speak. The water seeks another path, often higher up the wall, while the internal structure of your home slowly rots away. You are not addressing the moisture problem, you are covering it up to the naked eye, while it slowly breeds further within the structure of your home.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Impregnating the facade incorrectly<\/h3>\n<p>The self <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/facade-impregnation\/\">injecting an external wall or the fa\u00e7ade<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/penetrating-moisture\/\">penetrating moisture<\/a> is risky. If the fa\u00e7ade is not 100% free of cracks, you are again trapping moisture, but behind the protective layer you are applying to the fa\u00e7ade. At the first night frost, the water expands and your bricks and joints may simply crack.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Installing a false wall against a damp wall<\/h3>\n<p>When you don't see it, the moisture problem is already solved for many. This is especially thought to be the case with <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">a damp cellar<\/a> or room. By installing a plaster wall in front of the moisture problem, you no longer see it, but this way you create a perfect breeding ground behind the wall for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/fungi\/\">unhealthy moulds<\/a> which you breathe in unnoticed. In the long run, you may experience health problems if you do not solve the moisture problem permanently.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Self-injecting walls against rising damp<\/h3>\n<p>We often get asked if you <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising damp<\/a> can fight yourself. Indeed, there are do-it-yourself kits you can use to fight your <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">can inject walls<\/a>, but these are often not powerful enough for thick walls. Without professional equipment, chances are that the barrier will not be fully opaque, so moisture will simply continue to rise in the wall.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Failure to distinguish between building moisture and leaks<\/h3>\n<p>In new-build houses, moisture spots are often thought to be just construction moisture. As a result, many new owners ignore a real leak or a construction fault, with all the consequences for your new plastering.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/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-double-gutter no-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>The consequences: What does a wrong approach bring about?<\/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><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">A moisture problem<\/a> Ignoring is bad, but getting it wrong often carries even greater risks. When you choose the wrong method, you trigger a chain reaction of problems.<\/p><\/span><span><ul><\/span><span><li><strong>Invisible mould:<\/strong> By trapping moisture with paint or a pre-wall grow <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/fungi\/\">the fungi<\/a> through in places you can no longer see. However, you still inhale the spores without being able to tackle the source, leading to chronic respiratory problems and allergies.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>Irreparable structural damage:<\/strong> Error <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">injections<\/a> or wrong <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/facade-impregnation\/\">facade treatments<\/a> can cause salt and moisture to continue to crystallise in the wall. This pushes your bricks and joints apart, compromising the stability of your home over time.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>Financial well:<\/strong> A DIY attempt that fails means you pay twice. First for the materials you started buying yourself and then for an expert to remove your initial solution before the real source of moisture can be addressed.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>Decline in value and mistrust:<\/strong> In a subsequent sale of your house, an expert will immediately see that tinkering has been done to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">the moisture problems<\/a>.
