What we do here
The work we are called out for in Eversdal.
Older walls hold water
A lot of Eversdal homes were built before damp proof courses were standard. Water rises out of the ground into the wall, salts come with it, and the paint lifts in a band about half a metre up from the floor.
Painting over that is money thrown away. It needs the plaster cut out, the wall treated, and the right system rebuilt from the substrate up.
Where we start
We check moisture readings, look at the outside ground level against the inside floor level, and check gutters and downpipes before we blame the wall.
Most of the time the fix is less dramatic than people fear, and it lasts because we dealt with the water first.
