Wollondilly is semi-rural country south-west of Sydney, with older brick, weatherboard and cottage homes on acreage and clay soils. Springs, creeks and high local water tables keep the ground damp, many older homes have no effective damp-proof course, and subfloors on large rural blocks stay moist. Rising damp and damp subfloors are common.
On rural ground the water table and drainage are often the drivers. We diagnose the source, install a damp-proof course where needed, manage drainage and ventilation, and finish in a breathable render so the repair lasts.
Wollondilly's rural and semi-rural homes sit on clay and shale across the outer south-west, often on acreage with their own drainage. Older homesteads without a damp-proof course draw moisture up from damp ground, leaving salts that blister paint and blow plaster, while damp subfloors keep lower walls and air musty.
Wollondilly's semi-rural homes on sandstone and clay often have damp, poorly ventilated subfloors. We install subfloor ventilation to dry them.
Older village and rural homes here rarely have a sound damp course. Our rising damp repair injects a new one.
We re-coat with salt-resistant replastering for a lasting finish.
Our mould treatment clears it and fixes the cause.
We apply tanking and waterproofing to below-ground walls and wet areas.
