Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Diagnosis. Paying for a proper damp assessment can save the cost of the wrong treatment.
- Plaster. Hacking off and replastering salt-damaged walls adds most of the damp cost.
- Roof condition. An old roof with many small faults may cost more to patch than to redo in sections.
- Season. Summer bookings are easier to schedule.
Before You Pay for Damp Treatment
- Check outside. Look for paving, soil or plaster above the damp course level.
- Check plumbing. Rule out leaking pipes and gutters.
- Get readings. Ask for moisture readings and a written diagnosis.
- Then treat. Choose injection, replastering or drainage based on the cause.
Questions to Ask
- What readings did you take, and what do they show?
- Is the damp course bridged, failed or missing?
- Which plaster will be used, and how long before painting?
- Will you fix the chimney flashing or only seal around it?
Waterproofing Flamingo Vlei FAQs
Is all damp rising damp?
No. Much damp in older Cape homes is rain getting through walls or condensation. A proper diagnosis comes first.
Can lowering the paving fix damp?
Sometimes. If paving or soil bridges the damp course, lowering it can stop the damp without injection.
Why does my roof only leak in heavy wind?
Wind pushes rain under tiles and flashings. Check ridges, valleys and the underlay.
How long after damp treatment can I paint?
Allow the new plaster to dry properly first, often several weeks. Your contractor will advise for the plaster used.
