Rising Damp Solutions Services in Brisbane & Gold Coast
Effective rising damp treatment using chemical barrier injections and salt-retardant rendering for permanent structural dryness.
About Rising Damp Solutions
Rising damp occurs when groundwater is drawn up through porous building materials by capillary action. This moisture can cause significant damage to internal walls, flooring, and building contents while creating unhealthy living conditions through mould growth. Our rising damp solutions create a permanent chemical barrier to stop moisture rising through walls, combined with salt-retardant rendering to repair affected areas.

Our Rising Damp Solutions Process
We follow a systematic approach to ensure quality results and lasting protection for your property.
Moisture Assessment
We use electronic moisture meters and thermal imaging to map the extent of rising damp and identify the moisture source.
Wall Preparation
Holes are drilled at precise intervals along the base of affected walls to create injection points for the chemical barrier.
Chemical Injection
Silicone-based damp proofing fluid is injected under pressure, creating a continuous water-repellent barrier within the masonry.
Contaminated Plaster Removal
Salt-contaminated plaster is removed to a height above the moisture line to allow walls to dry and prevent salt damage.
Salt-Retardant Rendering
Specialist salt-resistant render is applied, followed by finishing plaster, creating a barrier against salt migration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our rising damp solutions services.
How do I know if I have rising damp?
Signs include tide marks or staining on walls up to about 1 metre high, peeling paint or wallpaper, salt deposits on walls, musty smells, and deteriorating skirting boards. A professional assessment can confirm the diagnosis.
How long does rising damp treatment take to work?
The chemical barrier is effective immediately. However, walls need time to dry out, which typically takes 1-3 months per 25mm of wall thickness, depending on ventilation and conditions.
Is rising damp treatment disruptive?
Our treatment is minimally invasive. The injection process is quick and clean, though internal re-rendering may require temporary removal of skirting boards and some furniture repositioning.
