There’s nothing quite like a beautiful, upmarket home with immaculate finishes, and a stunning outdoor entertainment area built for long summer evenings with family and friends. But even the most breathtaking homes fall victim to Johannesburg’s most persistent problems being Penetrating, Lateral and Rising Damp. With over 40 years experience, we, at Dampcon understand how preventing damp protects your home.
Recently, we worked on a home where the inside and outside walls including the gorgeous entertainment space were being eaten away by water creeping up from the ground. The lower sections of the walls had deteriorated where plaster was bubbling, paint was peeling and there was a general feeling of dampness.
And here’s the truth: ignoring damp never makes it go away. In fact, damp only gets worse. Beyond the obvious cosmetic issues, damp can weaken structures, rust electrical fittings, and lead to expensive repairs down the line. It can even lower your property’s value, as no buyer wants to inherit hidden moisture problems.
Waterproofing is about protecting your home as the valuable investment it is.
At this home, we stripped the affected plaster, treated rising damp, and re-plastered to restore the space to its former glory. Today, this family’s entertainment area is once again a place for laughter, braais, and long evenings. Without the worry about the walls crumbling beneath the paint.
Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Don’t let damp steal its beauty or its value. Dampcon’s extensive expertise ensures your home’s long term protection.
