Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do waterproofing in El Putxet i el Farró. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Yes, in houses with a rear gallery or internal courtyards typical of the old town. Clearing drains, replacing old downpipes, repairing waterproofing when there are infiltrations.

How we work

We start with ceilings, light fixtures, air ducts, and the tops of wardrobes, where the finest dust accumulates. Then we move to walls, doors, frames, skirting boards, radiators, and window tracks. Next is interior and exterior carpentry, windows inside and out, taps, and sanitary ware. We finish with the floors, which are done last as they receive everything that falls during the process. Thorough vacuuming, mopping with a neutral cleaner, and, if necessary, a second mop to remove the last layer of construction dust.

When to call for waterproofing in El Putxet i el Farró

Specific to homes on the front line of the sea. Saltpetre settles on exterior walls, penetrating with moisture. It emerges upon evaporation, forming white or bluish stains that peel paint from the inside. Treatment involves washing with specific chemicals, neutralising remaining salts with anti-efflorescence products. Applying a siloxane-type paint system that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. This is dampness that forms when indoor air laden with vapour meets a cold surface. Typical in kitchens and bathrooms without adequate ventilation, also in rooms exposed to north-facing facades that get colder in winter. It manifests as water droplets on windows, cold corners of rooms, black mould stains in cold areas of walls. This is dampness rising from the ground through walls via capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp stain on the ground floor up to a height of one metre from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as water evaporates). It is typical in old ground-floor properties, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea.

Materials and brands

No, we select the product compatible with each material (stoneware, marble, microcement, parquet) after prior assessment. This is precisely what prevents scratching or dulling new surfaces. Running a new cable through a forty-centimetre-thick ancient masonry wall is not the same as running it through a plasterboard partition. Here, technicians must know the city and bring the right equipment, long drills, SDS-MAX bits, heavy rotary hammers, because without them, an installation that would take a morning in another city could turn into two days if you lack the correct tools. A standard 70-90 m² flat usually takes between half a day and a full day depending on the condition and the amount of debris. A full renovation takes longer than a simple repaint.

Indicative price

The price of waterproofing in El Putxet i el Farró generally ranges between €170 and €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The result is a home ready to move into or to hand over to a tenant or buyer, with no dust reappearing after two days or residue on windows and taps. We offer a free preliminary assessment to give you a fixed price based on the area and condition. Masonry work leaves more debris than a simple paint change. All work comes with a 30-day guarantee. It depends on the linear metres of wall affected. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

How to distinguish rising damp from penetrating damp?
Rising damp: stain rises from the ground, up to one metre high, white efflorescence. Penetrating damp: stain descends from the ceiling or high corners, coincides with rain.
How much does a chemical injection cost?
It depends on the linear metres of wall affected. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation.
How long does the treatment last?
We guarantee chemical injection for 5 years in writing. In reality, it lasts 15-20 years or more if the treatment is done correctly and no new source appears.
Do I need to empty the room?
For chemical injection and interior wall repair, yes, please remove furniture from the affected wall. We work with protective plastics to minimise dust.
Do you paint with breathable products?
Yes, a specific paint system for damp walls: anti-salt sealing primer, breathable microporous paint that allows the wall to breathe.
