Dead walls and parapets are the most neglected surfaces of a building — and the hidden source behind half the 'terrace leakage' complaints we inspect. We treat them from the outside, without breaking plaster, and the dampness inside dries out for good.
A dead wall (the blank side wall with no windows) and the parapet (the low wall around your terrace) face rain, sun and wind all year with zero maintenance attention. What goes wrong:
The damp patch, the bubbling paint, the musty smell in that one bedroom — they're all downstream of a wall that absorbs water faster than it can dry. Repainting over it buys months, not years.
| Method | External penetrative treatment, applied to full saturation |
|---|---|
| Plaster demolition | None — treated over existing surfaces |
| Paint life after treatment | Visibly longer — the wall stays dry underneath |
| Also stops | Algae, black patches, efflorescence |
| Access | Rope access / scaffolding as the building requires |
| Warranty | 5 / 7 / 10 years · notarized on stamp paper |
We check the parapet top, wall face and joints to find where water enters — often several floors above where the damp shows.
Hairline and structural cracks are filled and sealed so they stop feeding water inward.
The most common hidden entry point — the top edge — is treated first.
The chemistry is applied to full saturation, converting the wall from water-absorbing to water-repelling while staying breathable so trapped moisture escapes.
We verify the treated face sheds water, then hand over the completion report with your notarized warranty.
