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

TETRABUILD Services Limited was contracted to undertake rising damp repair works to this private residence located in Lubowa Estates off Entebbe road.

During Phase I of the work; we focused on the treatment of the internally affected walls which responded very well to the solution. Following this confidence in the solution, the client invited us almost a year later to treat all the external walls of the residence which had been affected as well.

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 mortar.
