We carry out insulation in Hostafrancs. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. It is dampness rising from the ground through the walls due to capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp patch on the ground floor up to a metre high 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.

How we work

The treatment requires addressing the source of the water, not just the internal symptom. If the roof is degraded, the entire waterproofing must be renewed with new asphalt felt or a spray-applied liquid polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic mastic and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after ensuring exterior watertightness do we repair the interior wall. Call us, message us via WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. Rampant capillary action, roof leaks, internal condensation, and salt efflorescence. Diagnosis before action.

When to call for insulation in Hostafrancs

Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the dampness reappears at the same spot, we return. The most common mistake with dampness is repainting the affected wall. It works for the first month, then the dampness reappears, worse than before. Now the new paint creates a barrier that traps water inside the wall. Dampness 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 dampness we commonly see on the Costa Blanca, each with different causes, diagnoses, and treatments. Confusing them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That is why we always start with a technical diagnostic visit before quoting anything. The difference between treating dampness well or poorly changes the durability of the result from five years to six months.

Materials and brands

The treatment is chemical barrier injection. We drill small holes in the base of the wall at regular intervals and inject a resin that penetrates the wall to form a horizontal waterproofing barrier. This barrier prevents water from continuing to rise by capillary action. Over this barrier, we can repair and repaint with a breathable paint system. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. This is water entering from the exterior due to defects in the flat roof waterproofing, poorly sealed structural joints, or degraded external paint. It manifests as stains on the ceiling or upper parts of interior walls, often coinciding with periods of rain. Removal of damaged rendering, neutralisation of salts, and application of a compatible paint system.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a painter take to come to Gran Alacant?
As the urbanisation is very close to Santa Pola and Elche, our painters usually confirm availability in less than 2 hours. For non-urgent jobs, the quote visit is normally scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, including areas like Monte y Mar.
How do I know the price will be as agreed?
Before starting, you receive a fixed written quote detailing materials, labour, and timelines. If something unforeseen arises during the job, you will be informed and it will be approved before execution; it will never be added to the invoice afterwards.
Are the painters registered and insured?
All Manitas professionals undergo a prior verification process that includes registration as self-employed or a company, and public liability insurance. This ensures that both the property and the common areas of the community are covered while we carry out the work.
Do you attend to emergencies or weekend jobs?
We attend to emergencies related to dampness, leaks that have stained ceilings, or jobs prior to a key handover. We have painters who work Saturdays and, in specific cases, Sundays too, subject to prior schedule coordination.
