Treatment for rising damp in Marrakech
Damp at the base of walls, salt deposits or detached plaster? We treat the problem to stop deterioration and restore your walls durably.
Moisture rising from the base of walls
Rising damp carries moisture and salts from the ground into masonry. Initial damage generally appears at the base before progressing through plaster and paint.
Targeted solutions for walls and their surroundings
Injection acts in the masonry, drainage manages water around the building, bituminous upstands protect the wall base and hydraulic lime renews damaged plaster. The quotation clearly states the selected work.
Injecting a damp-proof barrier
Product is injected into a series of holes at the wall base to create a horizontal barrier against moisture rising through masonry.
A capillary break in the wallPerimeter drain
Where surroundings are accessible, drainage can collect water around walls and direct it to a specified outlet.
Direct water away from wallsBituminous upstand
Bituminous protection is installed on accessible lower or buried areas to protect the junction between the wall and external ground.
Protect the wall baseHydraulic lime plaster
Damaged plaster is removed and renewed with hydraulic lime plaster suited to the wall and gradual drying of the masonry.
Restore the wallDamp and salt deposits at the base of your walls?
Send photographs of the wall base, stain height and external surroundings. We clearly explain the next step.
How the selected work proceeds
The sequence depends on the chosen solution. We first define useful work, then carry out only the items specified in the quotation.
Examine walls and surroundings
We assess stain height, wall thickness, plaster and accessible external areas.
Choose the appropriate solution
We specify whether injection, drainage, a bituminous upstand, replastering or a combination is needed.
Carry out the agreed work
The selected solution is installed on the affected walls or surroundings without automatically adding other services.
Renew plaster where specified
Removal and hydraulic lime replastering are carried out where included in the selected work.
Protect your walls before damage spreads
Addressing moisture and damaged areas protects masonry, plaster and paint at the wall base.
Work focuses on the agreed scope: stopping moisture rising in the wall, diverting surrounding water, protecting a buried section or restoring surfaces.
Want to stop damp damaging your walls?
Show us the marks, affected height and building surroundings. We clearly explain the necessary work.
What affects treatment prices
The price depends on the selected work: wall length and thickness for injection, external access for drainage or bituminous protection, or area for replastering.
Rising damp in Marrakech: your questions
How can rising damp be recognised?
Marks are generally concentrated at the wall base, with salt deposits, blisters or crumbling plaster. We also examine the ground and surroundings to prepare the work.
How does wall injection work?
A series of holes is drilled at the wall base to inject a water-repellent product. It creates a horizontal barrier intended to limit moisture rising through masonry.
What does a perimeter drain do?
The drain collects water around walls and directs it to a specified outlet. It reduces water contact with accessible buried parts.
What is a bituminous upstand?
Waterproofing protection installed on an accessible lower or buried wall section to protect its junction with external ground.
Why renew plaster with hydraulic lime?
After removing moisture- and salt-laden plaster, hydraulic lime allows restoration with a finish suited to the masonry and its gradual drying.
How much does rising damp treatment cost?
The price depends on the chosen solution and work extent: injection length, drainage, bituminous protection or plaster area. If several services are combined, the quotation details each separately.
