Stop Damp Coming Through Your Walls With Dampseal

Flaking and peeling paint on a wall is often caused by dampness. This moisture gets between the paint layer and the wall surface underneath, and is often a problem in areas with high moisture - such as a bathroom. Dampseal helps to create a watertight barrier that the paint bonds to. Watch Dave as explains the quick and easy steps to achieve this solution with Plascon Dampseal.

Well done for trapping the moisture in the walls causing the stone to rot.

Was waiting for a video like this. I’m currently struggling with this problem

You need to address the main issue inside the wall then apply damp seal on the exterior and interior parts of the wall

Great stuff! My painter has been mixing it wrongly!

Best result and long term permanent fix would have been applying a DPC or insulation the affected wall in the bathroom. Despite your fix, water will still be seeping through the bricks on the other side in the bathroom. Treat the real root or cause of the problem....

Problem I have with this is that once the wall has been scraped and damaged paint removed you are left with pock marked wall and neither the sealer or paint really covers the final wall in a smooth finish - it will always look patchy unless the areas where the damaged paint was can be screeded slightly then painted??

Why the paint bubble like a paintstripper after using dampseal?

[dianepayne]

Truthfully the paint doesn't get rid of it open your windows twice a day. Is the only way and the roof and gutters need repairing and window vents need to be opened at all times..

Doesn't work and creates problems by trapping the moisture in the wall. Looks ok initially but then blows and causes damage to both sides of the wall.

I have some deep holes left after scraping. Do I fill the holes before applying Dampseal, or afterwards?

[martymountebank]

Is it waterproof grout? That’s all that is needed.

[ahmedamina]

I’m facing this same issue and it’s so annoying, in my own case it’s the rain hitting the walls from outside

[SRPaintersandDesigners]

This is good. It works when the classical cause has been identified.

What do u mean with impenetrable barrier paint? If u can give an example, it would be much appreciated

[durgasgarden]

My exterior wall is very close to other wall. We are facing the Leakage problem in the exterior wall. Due to this issue interior wall got damaged like damp wall with moulds. Can we lay tiles without arresting the exterior wall leakage..(During rainy season we are getting this issue) Please advice me..Can we lay tiles interior without arresting the issue exterior

I have exactly this problem and wasn't sure what product to use - will try this dampseal. If the plaster is coming off in a powdery way around the peeling paint will dampseal still be ok though? or should I do something else?

[NomakhayaMatshoba]

Oh thanks i m coming home builders,

[midaastouchh]

Aftwr plaster I have noticed dampness in walls, the wall is common between my neighbour and me

[nusrat]

What if root cause not fixed.. Will damp paint help?
