Moisture treatment for interior walls

Why treat damp on an interior wall?

Dampness in the interior walls of a home can cause a number of problems that should not be taken lightly. Humidity :

• Weakens the structure of walls and partitions
• Causes aesthetic damage to walls
• Leads to the appearance of fungi and saltpetre, which can be hazardous to health
• Makes rooms damp and cold, which leads to higher energy consumption.

So it’s important to treat damp effectively and permanently to avoid complications.

How does damp appear on an interior wall?

The appearance of damp in a wall is partly due to poor insulation or a very watery environment. This damp will tend to seep into the walls through seepage from façades or roofs, but also through condensation or rising or capillary damp.
Moisture is particularly prevalent in spongy stone walls, which absorb water easily. For this type of structure, it is advisable to treat the walls effectively throughout their entire thickness.

The presence of damp in a house or flat is not healthy, so it’s vital to treat it quickly. That’s why the Groupe Berkem offers professionals a wide range of products and treatments to combat this scourge effectively. Follow the guide.
