WATERPROOFING BRICKS, STONE AND OTHER MASONRY

Waterproofing walls externally can be very easy and simple. Waterproofing walls with Aqua-Repel will prevent further moisture penetration whilst still allowing residual moisture to escape by evaporation. As the walls dry, algae and fungal deposits will become inert, and can be removed. Without the presence of water in the wall, insulating properties will improve. Most conventional building materials are absorbent, and therefore when exposed to persistent rain, can become saturated. This often results in dampness occurring on the inside of the property. Damp walls not only ruin interior decorations, but they are cold, and the presence of moisture encourages mould growth which is a health hazard.
