Is Your Property Costing You Too Much?

Are you struggling with high maintenance costs on your property? Is your property cold in the winter and hot in the summer? Does it need frequent repainting and repairs due to cracking or falling render?

These issues are often caused by salt damage, which can occur in two ways:

Surface Salt Damage

Salt can accumulate on the surface due to rising damp, leaks, or environmental factors like salt spray or air pollution. This can lead to gradual damage like peeling paint, powdering, and crumbling.

Internal Salt Damage

Salts can also accumulate within the render or plaster layer, causing more serious and rapid damage like spalling. This can happen due to drying fronts, changes in porosity, water repellents, or poor application.

The source of moisture is key – it could be continuous (rising damp), recurrent (rain, condensation), or occasional (leaks, flooding). Salts are often from external sources like groundwater, sea spray, or air pollution, but can also come from the substrate itself.
