Damp Proofing
At Paverite, we understand the importance of protecting your home or business from moisture and its damaging effects. That’s why we offer damp-proofing masonry services to keep water out and preserve the integrity of your structure. We have the expertise and experience to provide you with top-notch damp-proofing products, strategies, and services.
What is Damp Proofing?
Damp-proofing is a process of controlling moisture in a building by preventing water from entering through walls, floors, or other building components. It is a protective layer applied to masonry surfaces, such as brick, block, and stone. In other words, damp proofing is like a waterproof layer of skin that works to keep water away from vulnerable areas.
Types of Damp Proofing
At Paverite we specialize in two types of damp-proofing: exterior preventive systems and interior damp-proofing systems.
Exterior preventive systems are a form of barrier protection, meant to prevent water from entering through walls or floors in the first place. These systems are typically composed of moisture-resistant materials such as bituminous waterproof membranes and cementitious coatings that create an impermeable barrier against moisture. Exterior preventive systems are especially useful for new construction, as damp proofing should always be considered an important part of any building’s design phase.
Interior damp-proofing systems are primarily used to address existing moisture issues. This type of system works by creating a barrier between the interior and exterior walls and floors, effectively blocking water from entering the building. Interior damp-proofing systems typically consist of breathable waterproof membranes and self-adhesive tapes.
Methods That We Employ in Order to Prevent Dampness in Masonry Work
When it comes to preventing dampness in masonry work, Paverite utilizes a wide array of techniques and methods. To begin, we make certain that every surface of the masonry is appropriately sealed and that any spaces that may exist between the bricks or stones are filled with a material that is watertight. In addition, we check the current drainage system to make certain that water is being directed away from the structure in the appropriate manner. If more drainage systems are required, we may even suggest having them installed by our team. In addition, we apply sealants of the highest quality to vulnerable places such as window sills, door frames, and other openings in the structure.
