Rising Damp Repairs at Fort Portal Residential House (Phase I & II)

TETRABUILD Services Limited was contracted to undertake rising damp repair works to this private residential located off the Fort Portal Highway about 15kms from Fort Portal town.

We undertook the first phase of the work to selected rooms and it performed very well. Owing to this we were recalled to the site to undertake extra scopes to additional rooms.

The rising damp issues were treated using a combination of Dryzone cream (chemical DPC), Bituminous damp proofing (Insucoat), and Xypex waterproofing products (Concentrate and Admix).  The Insucoat was applied to brick wall surfaces while block walls and concrete columns were treated with Xypex concentrate. All repair mortars and plastered surfaces were treated with Xypex Admix (Waterproofing chemical) added to the mortar.
