Damage Caused by Waterproofing Issues
When waterproofing membranes fail and water starts to seep into structures, concrete walls, balconies, or down through leaking concrete roofs, it needs to be attended to quickly. If not corrosion, decay, mould, and concrete cancer are often the result.

✔ Water-filled paint bubbles

Rising Damp
AESTHETIC, STRUCTURAL, AND EVEN HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES MIGHT RESULT FROM RISING DAMPNESS.
In terms of appearance, rising damp can cause paint and plaster to peel, crack, and bubble. It can also leave water-tide markings along walls that indicate where the water has risen to, as well as efflorescence (a white salt deposit which also looks unsightly on walls, floors or ceilings).
There are several methods to treat this common damp issue - but first of all you need to diagnose the source and the problem accurately.
