We provide waterproofing services in Porta. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. This is dampness formed when indoor air, laden with vapour, touches a cold surface. Typical in kitchens and bathrooms without adequate ventilation, also in rooms exposed to north-facing facades which get colder in winter. It manifests as water droplets on windows, cold room corners, black mould spots in cold wall areas.

How we work

The treatment requires addressing the source of the water, not the internal symptom. If the roof is degraded, the entire waterproofing must be renewed with new asphaltic membrane or a liquid-cast polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic sealant and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after guaranteeing the external watertightness do we repair the interior wall. It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation. Chemical injection, exterior waterproofing, breathable coating, or ventilation depending on the diagnosis.

When to call for waterproofing in Porta

Specific to homes on the front line of the sea. Saltpetre deposits on exterior walls, penetrating with moisture. It emerges upon evaporation, forming white or bluish stains that peel paint from the inside. The treatment involves washing with specific chemical products, neutralising remaining salts with anti-efflorescence products. Application of a siloxane-type paint system that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the damp reappears in the same spot, we will return. There are four types of damp that we commonly see on the Costa Blanca, each with a different cause, diagnosis, and treatment. Mistaking them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That's why we always start with a technical diagnostic visit before quoting anything. The difference between treating damp correctly or incorrectly changes the durability of the result between five years and six months.

This is water entering from the outside due to defects in roof waterproofing, poorly sealed structural joints, or degraded exterior paint.

Frequently asked questions

How to distinguish rising damp from water ingress?
Rising damp: a stain rising from the floor up to a metre high, leaving white efflorescence. Water ingress: a stain descending from the ceiling or high corners, coinciding with rain.
How much does chemical injection cost?
It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We give 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, at least move furniture away 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 primer, breathable microporous paint that allows the wall to breathe.
