Nestled in the picturesque neighborhood of Hammersmith, a magnificent Victorian property recently underwent a transformative journey. With the expert assistance of Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements LTD, the homeowners successfully addressed the persistent challenge of basement dampness.
To combat the intrusion of moisture into the basement, Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements LTD began by injecting a crystalline damp-proof course. This process involved strategically drilling small holes into the affected areas of the basement walls and injecting a specialized material that forms a waterproof barrier. By creating an impermeable layer within the walls, the property is shielded against rising damp, ensuring a dry and healthy living environment.
To ensure optimum conditions for the damp-proofing process, Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements LTD employed industrial dehumidifiers to facilitate wall drying. By extracting excess moisture from the basement, these powerful devices accelerated the evaporation process, allowing the walls to dry thoroughly. This crucial step not only prepared the walls for the subsequent application of the damp-proofing materials but also eliminated existing moisture, reducing the risk of mold growth and musty odors.
As an added layer of protection, Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements LTD installed a tanking barrier between the render layers. This physical barrier acts as a defence against potential water ingress and provides an additional safeguard against dampness. By preventing water from reaching the underlying surfaces, the tanking barrier enhances the durability and longevity of the damp-proofing system, ensuring a watertight basement environment for years to come.
Thanks to the expertise and meticulous work of Crystal Damp Proofing & Basements LTD, the Victorian property in Hammersmith has been successfully revitalized, free from the grip of persistent dampness.
