What are the causes of damp on walls?
Using a dehumidifying restorative plaster can be a good solution to solve humidity problems on walls.
Dampness on walls is a topic that is often addressed by both companies and private individuals.
Humidity can be caused by many factors, which sometimes combine with each other. Let’s see some:
– a capillary rise as there is excessive permeability of the soil or there are water undertows;
– Defects in the construction of the building;
– Morphological or geological factors of the terrain;
– Breakage of external pipes.
It is important to find an adequate solution for every single problem.
Wall humidity almost always manifests itself with dark colored marks on the walls or with detachments of the paint, usually in the lower parts.
Pros and cons of dehumidifying plasters
There are other ways to combat moisture on walls and use dehumidifying repair plaster.
The application of various cycles of dehumidifying mortars constitutes a quick, valid and not too expensive solution. We remind you, however, that these are not definitive resolutions and it is really important that the work is carried out in a workmanlike manner.
In addition to all the other methods on the market, there are systems in which some products are ideal for a quick solution with a long-lasting effect.
Important attention is to place the furniture and furnishings a few centimeters from the walls in order to guarantee correct ventilation of the rooms.
In any case, the problem will not be solved at the source but if it is carried out adequately, the application of healing plaster will give long-lasting results.
