Reliable Solutions

Dampness in walls is a silent destroyer — leading to peeling paint, mold growth, and a musty odor that affects both aesthetics and hygiene. It’s caused by water infiltration through cracks, poor waterproofing, or rising damp from the foundation. SKOF offers professional-grade solutions that stop dampness at its source.

Why Walls Become Damp

• Capillary rise of groundwater through plaster and masonry

• Cracks in exterior walls or leaking pipes

• Poor-quality waterproofing coatings or absence of damp-proof course

• Lack of breathable protective layers

Steps for Effective Damp-Proofing

1. Identify and Remove Damage:
Scrape off affected plaster and clean the wall thoroughly to expose the damp zone.

2. Crystalline Waterproofing:
Apply LOCKDRIP CRYS40-R0, a deep-penetrating crystalline compound that blocks micro-capillaries and prevents moisture movement from within.

3. Surface Coating:
Use ACRYCOTE EC5, an acrylic elastomeric coating that provides flexible, UV-stable protection against rain and humidity.

4. Smooth Finish:
Apply POLYWALL, a premium wall care putty, for a clean, smooth, and durable surface ready for painting.

5. Preventive Maintenance:
Ensure external walls and parapets are coated with SKOFGUARD (W) or similar protective treatments for long-lasting results.
