Damp walls & damaged plaster in Marrakech
Blistering paint, salt deposits, crumbling or detached plaster? We first identify and treat the moisture source, then repair damaged parts to restore your walls.
When damp starts damaging the wall
A damp wall does not always remain merely stained. Over time, paint can lift, plaster lose adhesion and salts appear on the surface. Before planning repairs, we identify the moisture source or confirm it has already been corrected.
Treat damp before replastering
Covering a wall that is still damp does not solve the problem. Work starts with the moisture source, then substrate repairs follow treatment and the necessary drying time.
Identify the source
We investigate what is making the wall damp or confirm the problem has already been corrected.
Treat the damp problem
Where the source remains active, appropriate treatment is carried out before covering the wall.
Repair the wall after treatment
Damaged parts are removed, the substrate prepared and plaster renewed after the necessary drying period.
Is your plaster starting to fall or detach?
Send photographs of the wall and surrounding area. We clearly explain the work to allow for.
A restored wall, not simply a covered one
The aim is to repair damaged parts carefully, restoring a stable substrate and neat finish.
Detached parts removed
Crumbling or poorly adhered areas are removed before repair.
Source treated before finishing
Restoration follows treatment of the damp problem.
Plaster suited to the wall
Repairs consider the existing substrate and affected area's condition.
A clearly specified finish
The quotation tells you how far restoration extends.
How wall repairs proceed
The scope is defined beforehand, keeping work clear from source investigation to wall restoration.
Identify the moisture source
We examine the wall and neighbouring areas to establish where moisture comes from or confirm the problem is already treated.
Treat the source problem
If moisture remains active, the specified treatment precedes replastering.
Allow drying, remove loose material and prepare
After the required drying time, unsound material is removed and the substrate prepared.
Renew plaster and finish
The wall is restored to the finish level agreed before work starts.
A wall deteriorating before your eyes?
Show us the affected parts. We explain the moisture supply, proposed treatment and included restoration.
Work defined before starting
The quotation states the identified source, proposed treatment, affected walls, plaster repairs and included finishes. The price is given before work begins.
Damp walls and damaged plaster in Marrakech: your questions
Can you repair only the damaged part of a wall?
Yes, where local repair suits the wall's condition. We define affected parts and clearly state the scope in the quotation.
Must all existing plaster be removed?
Not automatically. Crumbling, detached or badly damaged parts are removed. Retained and repaired areas are defined before work starts.
Do you replaster without treating the moisture source?
No. An active source must be treated before replastering. If it has already been corrected, we confirm that before defining preparation and restoration.
Do you use hydraulic lime plaster?
It can be used where suited to the wall and desired finish. The proposed plaster type is specified with the repairs.
What does the restoration quotation include?
It specifies the identified source, proposed treatment, affected areas, preparation, plaster and included finishes. The price is given before the job.
Do you work on villas, houses and riads?
Yes. We treat damp walls and damaged plaster in Marrakech villas, houses, riads and other homes.
