The most common mistake with damp is repainting the affected wall. It works for the first month, then the damp reappears, worse than before. The new paint creates a barrier that traps water inside the wall. Damp is not cured by painting. It is cured by identifying the source of the water and stopping it at its entry point. Only then do we repair the wall with the appropriate technique and repaint. There are four types of damp we commonly see in the Costa Blanca, each with a different cause, diagnosis, and treatment. Confusing 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 damp that rises from the ground through walls due to the capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp patch on the ground floor up to a height of one metre from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as the water evaporates). It is typical in old ground-floor properties, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea.

Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur's result and a professional's lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise masking tape on edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint is completely dry. These details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month. Of course. Quality plastics, masking tape, hardboard depending on the surface. When finished, everything is clean and vacuumed.
