Ghent has a large supply of older homes, basements, and facades that have endured a lot over the years. As a result, certain moisture problems occur more frequently in this region than elsewhere. Solusio clearly outlines the main causes and consequences for you. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] Rising Damp in Ghent Many homes in Ghent are equipped with a damp-proof course that should prevent ground moisture from rising through the foundation. However, such a damp-proof course deteriorates over time, becoming porous and losing its function. When this happens, ground moisture can freely rise up the wall, resulting in moisture stains and peeling plaster. The first symptoms usually appear: in the basement at the bottom of walls on the ground floor in older homes built before the 1970s, where often no damp-proof course is present Rising damp is a persistent problem that requires professional treatment such as wall injection or underpinning.
