Common Damp Problems in Camps Bay
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Sea-facing balconies and sliding doors leaking in winter storms | Balcony waterproofing and resealing doors and windows |
| Damp on walls built into the slope and on split levels | Lateral damp treatment, retaining wall waterproofing |
| Wet or stained retaining walls | Retaining wall waterproofing and drainage |
| Paint and plaster breaking down on walls facing the sea | Damp wall repairs, penetrating damp sealing |
| Water in basements and lower-ground rooms | Basement waterproofing |
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Sea air. Salt and wind-driven rain wear down paint, sealants and window seals faster near the sea.
- Sloping plots. Split levels and retaining walls need waterproofing and drainage on the soil side.
- Glass, balconies and pool decks. Large sliding doors and decks over living areas depend on good waterproofing details.
- Winter rain. Most rain falls from May to August, and outside repairs need dry weather. Book early for spring.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.
