Aquavent was approached as a moisture expert to provide more information on the treatment of rising damp in homes for the program “Lifestyle & Living”.

Rising damp Ghent

The center of Ghent consists of old houses where 90% of the houses were never provided with a damp-proof course in the walls and there is therefore rising damp. Also in the municipalities around Ghent such as Mariakerke or Wondelgem there are many older houses without a damp-proof course or where the damp-proof course is worn out. Whether or not you have real problems with rising damp depends mainly on what has already been done in the past to combat rising damp and whether or not the houses are constantly heated and ventilated.

However, if you want to finish your walls with modern techniques and sleek walls, you will probably be confronted with damp problems quickly. We also see many damp problems in renovations where rising damp has not been taken into account. Do you want a correct approach to rising damp based on your situation? Aquavent is your partner with experience in the Ghent region!

Mold formation and ventilation Ghent

Mold formation in the living room or bedroom is common in Ghent. In many houses in Ghent, mold problems quickly arise when retrofitting insulation, for example by insulating your roof or installing new windows. Because not much can or may be changed to the general structure of the house in Ghent, you are extra sensitive to mold formation by retrofitting insulation to your house. Good ventilation is necessary in that case to prevent mold formation if you actually want to benefit from insulating your home without getting an unhealthy home.

In the sub-municipalities around Ghent such as Evergem and Drongen you will also find many bungalows that are inherently susceptible to mold formation and condensation problems. Aquavent is happy to help you further for a definitive and correct solution tailored to your mold problem.
