Rising Dampness Treatment Contractors in Nerul

Rising Dampness Treatment by MK Civil Works

Older buildings across Mumbai and Thane were built with little or no effective damp proof course. Without one, groundwater climbs through the foundation and masonry by capillary action, producing the damp lower walls, salt bloom and musty smell that residents know all too well. MK Civil Works treats the cause rather than the symptom.

How to Recognise Rising Dampness

• Damp or dark plaster up to about a metre above floor level.
• White powdery salt deposits, known as efflorescence.
• Peeling paint and a lingering musty odour indoors.
• Rotting skirting boards and door frames on the ground floor.

The MK Civil Works Chemical DPC Method

We drill a controlled series of holes at plinth level and pressure-inject a silane-based damp-proofing cream that chemically blocks the capillary channels in the masonry. The salt-damaged plaster is then removed, neutralised and reinstated with a waterproof rendering before any decorative finish is applied.

A Lasting Repair

Repainting a damp wall only hides the problem for a single season. Our chemical DPC treatment restores the wall for good and is covered by a written warranty with full material documentation for society records.
