class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p>Before we dive into the numbers, we need to know what moisture enemy we are dealing with in your home. Moisture in the home comes in different forms. Recognising the specific <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">moisture problem<\/a> is therefore the first step towards the right solution.<\/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 and structural moisture problems in older houses that do not yet have a good, watertight waterproofing layer. Groundwater then soaks up into the porous bricks.<\/p>\n<p>You can recognise it by the moisture spots, salt efflorescence, loose plaster or flaking paint and wallpaper. And that mainly on the underside of the interior or exterior walls, approximately up to 1.20 metres in height.<\/p>\n<h3>Damp walls<\/h3>\n<p>When the walls feel constantly clammy, we speak of <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">damp walls<\/a>. This may be due to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/penetrating-moisture\/\">penetrating moisture<\/a>, but at least it causes the indoor environment to become unhealthy and <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-does-your-energy-bill-rise-with-a-damp-house\/\">the energy bill<\/a> into the air. After all, dry walls insulate much better.<\/p>\n<p>You will recognise it because the walls feel cold and clammy when you touch them. Stains or circles also appear on the paintwork and you notice that the humidity in the room remains high. In addition, you smell a typical musty odour as soon as you walk into the room.<\/p>\n<h3>Penetrating moisture<\/h3>\n<p>When your exterior walls are damaged, cracked or porous due to age, driving rain can penetrate deep into the facade. This is when we talk about <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/penetrating-moisture\/\">penetrating moisture<\/a>. The moisture then makes its way inside.<\/p>\n<p>You recognise it by the moisture spots that are located at random heights on the interior walls. Often on the side where the wind and rain hit the fa\u00e7ade the hardest.<\/p>\n<h3>A damp cellar<\/h3>\n<p>The basement is the lowest point of your home and is constantly under pressure from the surrounding groundwater. Especially during heavy rainfall, the hydrostatic pressure can become so great that water is forced through the basement walls or the bilge seam. Then you suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">a damp cellar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You will recognise it by puddles of water on the basement floor, permanently damp or shiny basement walls and a musty smell that permeates the rest of your home.<\/p>\n<h3>Condensation moisture<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/condensation-moisture\/\">Condensation moisture<\/a> unlike other moisture problems, is not due to water penetrating from outside, but purely to the lack of correct <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\">ventilation<\/a> in the home. Daily activities such as cooking, showering, washing and breathing produce litres of moisture every day. If this warm, moist air has nowhere to go, it settles on cold surfaces and we speak of condensation moisture.<\/p>\n<p>You will recognise it by the drops on the inside of the windows, musty smells and windows that remain tarnished for a long time after showering or cooking.<\/p>\n<h3>Mould on the walls<\/h3>\n<p>The direct and dangerous consequence of long-term <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/condensation-moisture\/\">condensation moisture<\/a> or other untreated <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">moisture problems<\/a> is <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/fungi\/\">mould on the walls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You will recognise it by the persistent, unsightly black mould spots and dots in the corners of ceilings, behind cupboards or in the bathroom and bedroom. This is not only detrimental to the value of your home, but also to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/black-mold\/\">your health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Moisture in new-build homes<\/h3>\n<p>People often think that moisture only occurs in older houses, but nothing could be further from the truth. In the construction of modern homes, thousands of litres of water are used, just think of the concrete, screed and plaster. If a new-build home is sealed and insulated too quickly without <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/moisture-problems-in-new-build-homes-can\/\">building moisture<\/a> can dry out completely, then the moisture remains in the structure.<\/p>\n<p>You will recognise it by consistently high humidity in the new home, condensation on the windows and, in the worst case, immediate mould on the new plaster.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-1\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-1\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-1\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container onepage-section\" data-label=\"bestrijden\" data-name=\"bestrijden\" id=\"row-unique-2\"><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>Why a moisture problem plummets your home's value<\/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>Many owners looking to sell their property ask us the question: \u201cCan I <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/buying-house-with-damp-problems-a-checklist-for-prospective-buyers\/\">selling my house with a moisture problem<\/a>?\u201d The short answer is: Yes, you are legally allowed to do so. However, you are obliged to explicitly disclose this to potential buyers, as moisture damage falls under the duty to report defects. Do you fail to do so? Then you risk legal proceedings afterwards for hidden defects.<\/p><\/span><span><p>So while selling your home is allowed, it is a bad decision financially. Moisture is now the ultimate value destroyer in the property market. <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">A moisture problem<\/a> therefore brings direct consequences and disadvantages to the value of your home.<\/p><\/span><span><ul><\/span><span><li><strong>The ultimate turn-off factor for 80% from buyers:<\/strong> The vast majority of <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/buying-house-with-damp-problems-a-checklist-for-prospective-buyers\/\">prospective buyers are looking for a turnkey home<\/a>. As soon as they see mould, notice loose wallpaper or smell a musty basement smell, they immediately give up. Moisture, in the minds of potential buyers, indicates structural misery, unforeseen costs and months of rebuilding. You immediately lose a huge pool of potential bidders, which means your property will be for sale for much longer.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>The final blow to banking expertise:<\/strong> Buyers today almost always need a bank expert or an independent appraiser to complete their mortgage. Once the expert has active <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">moisture problems<\/a> or degraded walls, the bank will immediately deduct it from the appraised value. Sometimes, the bank even refuses the loan until the problem is resolved, which can completely ruin your sale.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>A dramatically weak negotiating position:<\/strong> The few buyers who do remain interested see it as an opportunity to haggle aggressively. And the biggest financial pain lies in the fact that the buyer always counts with a huge margin of safety. Where <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-control\/\">professional moisture control<\/a> you through AquaConsult could cost, say, \u20ac3,000, the potential buyer demands a discount on the asking price of \u20ac15,000 or \u20ac20,000 to cover the risk. So you lose money directly at the negotiating table because you did not carry out the repair yourself.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>Aesthetic renovations become worthless:<\/strong> Have you just invested thousands of euros in a brand new designer kitchen or a modern bathroom, but there are moisture spots on the wall? Then a buyer or estimator will completely overlook that beautiful finish. An untreated damp problem will bring down the value of all your other renovations.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>The invisible loss leader:<\/strong> A basement that doesn't count. When valuing a house, an estate agent looks at the usable area. <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">A damp cellar<\/a> is nothing more than a musty storage area and thus does not count as valuable living space. A dry, sealed basement, on the other hand, can be converted into an extra bedroom, hobby room or home office. These are the square metres that can instantly boost the selling price by tens of thousands of euros.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>The EPC disadvantage:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">Damp walls<\/a> lose their insulating effect, because wet bricks simply conduct cold inside faster and heat produced inside faster outside. As a result <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-does-your-energy-bill-rise-with-a-damp-house\/\">the heating must constantly be one degree higher<\/a> stand. This results in <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-moisture-control-is-the-first-step-towards-a-higher-epc-label\/\">a worse EPC score<\/a>. As <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/buying-house-with-damp-problems-a-checklist-for-prospective-buyers\/\">buyers<\/a> today extremely focusing on the energy efficiency of a property, this disadvantage makes for an even lower market value.<\/li><\/span><span><\/ul><\/span><span><p><\/span><\/p><\/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>So the conclusion is very simple: do nothing about <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">the moisture problem<\/a> is not an option. Hiding the moisture problem is not allowed and leaving the problem untreated will cost you more at sale than the actual treatment price of the problem. By intervening now, you will remove buyers' doubts and protect your own wallet.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-2\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-2\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-2\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div><div data-parent=\"true\" class=\"vc_row row-container onepage-section\" data-label=\"bestrijden\" data-name=\"bestrijden\" id=\"row-unique-3\"><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 prevent loss of value? AquaConsult's targeted 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>Meanwhile, we have <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">the moisture problem<\/a> recognised and understand its risk to your loss of value. Now it's time for the solution. Once you detect the moisture problem, you can take proactive action to stop the loss of value of your home and turn it into an added value.<\/p>\n<p>At AquaConsult, we don't believe in treating symptoms. We tackle the source of the moisture problem. Depending on the exact diagnosis made by our experts, we put <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/\">one of our targeted and professional solutions<\/a> In.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Injecting walls<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">Rising damp<\/a> and persistent <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">damp walls<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">Injecting walls.<\/a> Our experts accurately drill holes in the affected walls just above the floor. They then inject a high-quality, environmentally friendly gel. This gel spreads into the pores of the masonry and forms an impenetrable, water-repellent barrier. From then on, the groundwater can definitively no longer climb up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Remediation of plastering<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> Walls damaged by <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising damp<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\"> damp walls<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> The remediation of <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/plastering\/\">plastering<\/a>. Only <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">inject the walls<\/a> is often not enough. Over the years, walls have absorbed salts from groundwater. These salts continue to draw moisture from the air, even if the wall has been injected. Our experts remove the old, affected plaster down to the stone and then apply a special salt-resistant membrane. Afterwards, they also provide professional re-plastering. This will make your walls perfectly even, dry and paint-ready again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Basement sealing or caulking<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">A damp cellar<\/a> and basement infiltration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> With a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-waterproofing\/\">basement sealing or waterproofing<\/a> our experts make the basement walls completely waterproof again. They first fix the walls mechanically and then apply various waterproof cementing layers, mortars and coatings. The vulnerable bilge seam is also made impermeable in the process. Your basement transforms from a musty storage area to a perfectly dry and usable room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. Basement drainage<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">A damp cellar<\/a> with extremely high groundwater pressure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-drainage\/\">Basement drainage<\/a>. Sometimes the pressure of groundwater is so great that a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-waterproofing\/\">basement<\/a> is not sufficient. In that case, we at AquaConsult opt for basement drainage. Our experts dress the basement with a special bubble membrane that collects the water seeping in in a controlled way and leads it via built-in channels to a collection pit. An automatic submersible drain then drains the water to the sewerage system. Your basement is guaranteed to stay dry and usable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Concrete injection<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/moisture-problems-in-new-build-homes-can\/\">Moisture in new-build homes<\/a> and basements with cracks in concrete.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> In modern homes or cast concrete basements, settlement or shrinkage can cause a crack in the concrete where water seeps through. With <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/concrete-injection\/\">concrete injection<\/a> we solve this locally and effectively. Under high pressure, we inject a special polyurethane resin directly into the crack. This resin reacts immediately as soon as it comes into contact with water. It foams up, expands and completely and permanently seals the crack to its deepest core.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>6. Facade impregnation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/penetrating-moisture\/\">Penetrating moisture<\/a> and porous exterior walls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/facade-impregnation\/\">Facade impregnation<\/a>. Our experts first thoroughly clean the external wall and then apply a transparent, breathable coating to it. This impregnating agent soaks deep into the facing bricks and joints. As a result, the driving rain beads off the wall and can no longer penetrate. And that while the fa\u00e7ade can still breathe from the inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>7. Mechanical ventilation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deployed at:<\/strong> <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>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The solution:<\/strong> The only way to banish condensation and mould for good is controlled air circulation. AquaConsult installs smart and energy-efficient <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\">ventilation systems<\/a>. These systems continuously measure the humidity in the house. As soon as it gets too high, while showering or cooking, the humid air is automatically removed and replaced by healthy, dry outside air. No more condensation and therefore no more mould on the walls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<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-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>What does moisture control cost and what does it deliver?<\/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>Now let's talk about the numbers. What does it really cost to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/\">professional moisture control<\/a> to do?

After all, taste is personal.<\/p>\n<p>Structural renovations, on the other hand, have the greatest Return On Investment (ROI).<\/p>\n<p>Suppose you are struggling with <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising damp<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">get your walls professionally injected<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/plastering\/\">renovate the plaster<\/a>. Or you choose a targeted <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/concrete-injection\/\">concrete injection<\/a> To seal a stubborn crack in your basement. That investment will cost you a larger one-off sum. But once your property goes on the market, this will immediately prevent buyers from demanding a \u20ac15,000 to \u20ac20,000 security discount to repair the structural damage. Moreover, with <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-drainage\/\">basement drainage <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-waterproofing\/\">basement waterproofing<\/a> an unusable basement into valuable, dry square metres that increase the selling price.

That is the return no bank can match.<\/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 single-top-padding double-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>So how much will your house really be worth more after this strategic 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>What raises the value of a house? The answer is simple: security, comfort and an impeccable structure.<\/p><\/span><span><p>By choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/\">a strategic moisture treatment via AquaConsult<\/a>, transform your property from a risky renovation project to a healthy, move-in-ready home. The increase in value is not just an estimate, it manifests itself in several positive benefits that instantly boost the selling price of your property.<\/p><\/span><span><ul><\/span><span><li><strong>The creation of full, additional square metres:<\/strong> When valuing a house, an estate agent or appraiser looks strictly at the usable area. <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-cellar\/\">A damp cellar<\/a> is a lost space that contributes zero value. Through a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-waterproofing\/\">basement waterproofing<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-drainage\/\">basement drainage<\/a> transform your chilly and musty space into a full-fledged living space. Think of a home office, an extra bedroom, a private gym or a laundry room. Extra usable square metres are instantly worth tens of thousands of euros extra on the property market.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>A boost for <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-moisture-control-is-the-first-step-towards-a-higher-epc-label\/\">your EPC score<\/a>:<\/strong> This is a huge factor. <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/damp-walls\/\">Damp walls<\/a> lose their insulating effect completely. In fact, wet bricks conduct cold and heat up to 25 times faster than dry materials. As a result, the heating has to be constantly turned up to effectively warm the house. By using your <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">inject walls<\/a> and you <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/facade-impregnation\/\">facade impregnation<\/a>, the building envelope dries out completely and restores the insulation value. This results in a better EPC score. Since buyers today focus extremely hard on the energy efficiency of a home, this directly increases the market value.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>No more \u2018hidden defects\u2019 discounts:<\/strong> As mentioned earlier, buyers who detect damp charge a huge margin. They demand a price reduction that often exceeds the actual cost of moisture treatment. With a blank inspection report and dry walls, you take this negotiating weapon completely out of the buyer's hands. You maintain control over your asking price and avoid having thousands of euros taken from your profits.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>Optimal aesthetic appeal:<\/strong> A house should evoke emotion in a buyer. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/plastering\/\">a thorough renovation of the plasterwork<\/a>, dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/fungi\/\">mould on the walls<\/a> and installing <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\">mechanical ventilation<\/a>, your home will look fresh, clean and perfectly maintained again. No unsightly black spots, no peeling paint and no wallpaper coming loose. Buyers see a property they can move into in no time, leading to faster and higher bids.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>A healthy indoor climate as a unique selling point:<\/strong> The presence of mould spores and high humidity are harmful to health. A home equipped with<a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/ventilation\/\"> a modern ventilation system from AquaConsult<\/a> guarantees continuously healthy, filtered air quality. At a time when health and well-being are paramount, a guaranteed healthy home is a strong and unique selling point that increases value.<\/li><\/span><span><li><strong>Long-term protection of other renovations:<\/strong> Moisture doesn't stop on its own. It eats its way through your entire home. By stopping it now, you also protect all your other investments. Your brand new floor won't warp, the wooden support beams won't rot and your new kitchen will be spared from moisture damage.
