Common Damp Problems in Plattekloof
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Wet or stained retaining walls | Retaining wall waterproofing and drainage |
| Damp on walls built into the slope and on split levels | Lateral damp treatment, retaining wall waterproofing |
| Water in basements and lower-ground rooms | Basement waterproofing |
| Leaks into rooms below balconies | Balcony waterproofing |
| Water collecting against the house in winter | French drains |
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Sloping plots. Split levels and retaining walls need waterproofing and drainage on the soil side.
- Clay soils. Clay holds water against walls below ground and moves as it wets and dries, which can crack walls.
- Glass, balconies and pool decks. Large sliding doors and decks over living areas depend on good waterproofing details.
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.
