Stop Rising Dampness

Rising dampness is a hidden destroyer — groundwater travels upward through porous masonry walls and floors via capillary action, carrying soluble salts that damage plaster, paint, and structural materials. In Hyderabad, with its clayey soil and high water table in many areas, rising dampness is a very common problem that affects both old and relatively new buildings.

At Divya Waterproofing Services, we use proven chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection technology to permanently stop rising dampness. Unlike surface treatments that mask the problem, our solutions target the capillary action itself — creating a permanent barrier inside the wall.

How to Identify Rising Dampness

• Tide marks — horizontal bands of dampness on lower walls
• White crystalline deposits (efflorescence) on wall surfaces
• Peeling paint and plaster at the base of walls
• Musty or damp odour in ground-floor rooms
• Damp patches that worsen in wet weather
• Rust stains on walls near metal fittings
• Damage confined to the lower 1 metre of walls
• Rotting skirting boards and flooring near walls

Our Rising Dampness Treatment

• Chemical DPC Injection — Silane/siloxane cream injected into the wall creates a physical barrier
• Re-plastering with Renovation Plaster — Salt-resistant plaster applied after DPC treatment
• Tanking Slurry — Cementitious waterproofing applied to below-ground walls
• Electro-Osmotic Damp Proofing — Electronic system for severe rising damp cases
• Sub-floor Ventilation — Improves airflow under suspended floors to reduce moisture
• Salt Neutralisation Treatment — Removes and neutralises harmful salts from wall surfaces
