Clear answers

Damp treatment, explained.

Every property is different, but the first principle is consistent: identify the moisture source before choosing the repair.

What are the signs of rising damp?

Common signs include recurring peeling paint, blistering finishes, salt deposits, crumbling plaster and moisture near the base of masonry walls.

Does repainting solve a damp wall?

No. Repainting covers the visible symptom temporarily. The moisture source and salt contamination need to be diagnosed and treated.

Do you work on heritage and strata properties?

Yes. BRW Remedial works on residential, heritage and body-corporate properties across Sydney.

Why is diagnostic testing important?

Testing helps identify the moisture source before an appropriate damp-remediation scope is recommended.
