Moisture is one of the most destructive forces affecting buildings.
When groundwater is allowed to migrate through walls and structural elements, it can lead to staining, deterioration, mould growth and ongoing damage to finishes.
At Supcon, we investigate moisture-related defects, identify the source of water movement and implement remediation strategies designed to improve building performance and protect assets over the long term.
Our objective is not simply drying out a wall. Our objective is stopping moisture from returning.
Rising damp occurs when groundwater moves upward through porous building materials.
As moisture rises, salts are carried into walls and finishes. Over time, these salts contribute to paint failure, plaster deterioration, efflorescence, mould growth and material degradation.
The issue often continues until the source of moisture is addressed.
Many moisture issues are repeatedly treated with:
While these actions may temporarily improve appearance, they rarely address the source of moisture. Without addressing the cause, deterioration often returns.
Assessment of moisture levels, building condition and contributing factors.
Identification of the source of moisture movement.
Preparation of a detailed remediation strategy.
Long-term solutions designed to reduce moisture-related deterioration and improve building performance.
Every remediation strategy begins with understanding the cause of deterioration.
Direct involvement from Thomas throughout the project lifecycle.
Clear documentation supporting informed decision-making.
Repairs designed to improve durability and reduce future risk.
Extensive experience across remedial building and structural works.
Supcon can investigate the issue and develop a practical remediation strategy tailored to your building.
