Treating Walls against Moisture

Do you want to protect your walls against moisture? There are several ways to do this, but the right treatment always depends on the cause of the moisture problem.
At Solusio, we first thoroughly analyze where the moisture is entering so that we can apply a targeted and sustainable solution.

In this article, you will discover the most effective treatment methods to permanently get rid of damp walls in your home.

Which Treatment Method is Suitable for your Walls?

To treat a wall correctly, the core of the problem must first be identified.

Moisture can damage your walls due to:

• Rising damp from the foundation

• Penetrating damp through a porous facade

• Leaks or cracks in the wall

• Condensation due to poor ventilation

• Poor insulation or cold bridges

Each cause requires a different approach. Below you can read the main techniques that Solusio applies.

Wall Injection: Quick and Effective Solution against Rising Damp

Wall injection is one of the most commonly used and efficient methods to treat walls against moisture. Our specialists drill small openings at regular intervals in the wall and fill them with a high-quality water-repellent agent.
This product penetrates deep into the masonry and forms a moisture-resistant barrier after curing.

The result:

• rising damp is completely stopped,

• the wall dries out quickly,

• and the strength of the wall is maintained.

This technique is particularly suitable for rising damp and slight moisture seepage at the bottom of walls.

Impregnating your Facade to Protect Walls against Moisture

Do you have damp walls because your facade lets water through? Then facade impregnation (also known as waterproofing) is an extremely effective solution.
In this treatment, the facade is sprayed with a transparent, water-repellent layer.

This protective layer:

• penetrates deep into the pores of the facade,

• makes the wall completely water-repellent,

• stops penetrating damp,

• and allows the facade to continue to breathe.

Before the facade is impregnated, we repair all cracks, joints, and damaged areas so that the protection adheres optimally.
With this approach, you permanently prevent rainwater from penetrating your wall structure.

Repairing Leaks and Insulation Problems

Damp walls are not always the result of rain or rising damp. Sometimes the cause lies in poor insulation or a leaking pipe structure.

Addressing Insulation Problems

When moisture is caused by poor or saturated insulation materials, they must be checked and, if necessary, replaced.
In well-insulated homes, a mechanical ventilation system is also essential. Without ventilation, moist air remains trapped, leading to condensation and mold growth.

Repairing Leaks

Leaking pipes, drains or lead-throughs can also cause damp spots. In that case:

• the leak is repaired,

• we treat the damaged wall,

• and we ensure that the wall dries out and is protected again completely.

Moisture-resistant Paint in Rooms where Water is Used

In areas like the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, or shower room, it is wise to paint the walls with moisture-resistant paint.
This special paint prevents the porous plaster from absorbing water, thereby preventing issues like mold growth, peeling plaster, and dirt stains.

Advantages of moisture-resistant paint:

• protects the plasterwork against moisture penetration

• inhibits the growth of mold

• makes surfaces easier to clean

• ensures longer preservation of the finish

👉 Please note: this method is preventive.

Moisture-resistant paint only works on dry walls.
When the walls are already wet, damaged, or affected by mold or salts, they must first be professionally treated before the paint can be applied.
