“Prevent structural damage: tackle moisture in your basement today”
Aquavent is the market leader
in basement waterproofing and moisture control
How do you recognize a wet basement?
Rising damp is often recognized by visible damage, such as curling wallpaper, saltpetre that pushes the paint outwards, or loose plaster and skirting boards. Do you hear the finishing layers sounding hollow? Then you are probably dealing with rising damp.
With rising damp, you always see the damage on the ground floor or in the basement. As a market leader in damp control, we offer a free diagnosis and confirmation.
Why treat a wet basement?
Why is basement expertise necessary?
If you suffer from rising damp in your home, this not only causes clear damage to your finishes due to salinization, but also has consequences for the residents. After all, the rising damp constantly evaporates in the living areas and causes increased humidity and possibly mold growth.
If you place furniture against walls with moisture problems, it will also mold or rot. Moreover, a house with a moisture problem is not popular when selling the house.
What is basement tanking?
Not every rising damp problem has a simple cause, such as a wall in the ground that absorbs moisture. The correct treatment always starts with a thorough diagnosis and a careful treatment plan. Every house is unique, which is why our Aquavent expert comes to the site to analyze the situation and propose a customized solution that addresses your problem.
During the visit, moisture measurements are taken and salt samples are taken to determine the level of contamination. In this way we look at the exact situation on site and discuss the most suitable total solution.
How we make
your basement dry
Our approach combines professional knowledge with careful execution, so that every step contributes to a lasting result.
What is floor drainage?
First, we thoroughly investigate the cause of the rising damp. We carry out moisture measurements, look at the visible damage and determine how serious it is. Based on this, we draw up a treatment plan that precisely matches the situation in your home. It is not only important to tackle the moisture itself, but also to repair the damage caused, so that your walls are completely dry, healthy and finished again.
What is perimeter drainage?
After the moisture treatment, the moisture in the walls will continue to dry out for a few months, although the moisture barrier works immediately. In the event of existing damage or salt formation, a salt treatment is recommended. This prevents crystallization and makes it possible to finish the walls again immediately, so that the impact in the room is limited. The correct approach depends on the damage and must always be carried out by an experienced professional.
A dry basement for every budget
The cost of treating rising damp depends on the length of the wall to be treated, the wall thickness and the chosen method. With injection, the price averages between €60 and €100 per linear meter.
The thinner the walls and the more meters that are treated, the lower the price per meter. The repair of wall damage after treatment varies greatly per situation. An on-site visit is necessary to make a correct estimate.
Not treating moisture problems always costs more in the long term than a professional solution. Moisture does not stop on its own, can rise further and increase repair costs. In addition, moisture increases heating costs, causes mold and reduces the sales value of your home.
Timely treatment with a guarantee keeps your walls dry, prevents damage and preserves the value of your house.
