General Info

Do it right the first time with Mr Salt Damp. No solvents, no smells, no mess, no fuss, no gimmicks & no worries.

At Mr Salt Damp we continue to specialise in the treatment of rising salt damp in all areas of Adelaide and South Australia including regularly visiting regional areas such as the Eyre, Yorke and Fleurieu Peninsula, the South East, the Flinders, the Riverland, Gawler, Barossa and the Clare Valley. Pre-Purchase Inspections are also available via appointment.

Rising Salt Damp is caused by the same natural capillary action by which plants absorb moisture into their stems from the soil beneath. Whenever there are moisture absorbent materials such as bricks, mortar or external renders in contact with the ground then moisture will naturally rise through them unless there is a barrier in the form of a damp proof course (DPC). This dampness will continue to rise in the wall sunless checked, bringing with it liquid salt particles which can cause major damage if left untreated.

High levels of contaminant hygroscopic salts can build up in both the old plaster/underlying masonry over many years of active rising dampness. Even though the DPC is effective the hygroscopic nature of the salts may cause moisture to be attracted to the wall so causing further dampness, decorative spoiling, and giving the impression that the DPC has not been successful. Removal of the old contaminated plaster work will remove the contamination at the surface but underlying contamination may pass into new work sunless it is designed to be resistant to the passage of residual moisture and these contaminant salts.

Timber skirtings, architraves, etc., should be removed as outlined in the survey report/specification. Remove plaster back to masonry to the height outlined in the survey report/specification, but this should not be less than a height of 1 metre, or 500 mm above the maximum level of the visual rising dampness and/or salt contaminated plaster. Rake out all mortar joints to a depth of 15 mm (1/2"). This is important in order to help resist the natural shrinkage of new cement renders. Remove any timber fixing grounds that are present in the masonry.
