We carry out insulation work in Sant Genís dels Agudells. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and begin. Specifically for properties on the seafront. Salt spray deposits on exterior walls and penetrates with humidity. It emerges as white or bluish stains when evaporating, causing paint to peel from within. The treatment involves washing with specific chemicals, neutralising residual salts with anti-efflorescence products. Application of a siloxane type paint system that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through.

How we work

Rising damp, roof leaks, internal condensation, and efflorescence from salt deposits. Diagnosis before action. Treatment requires addressing the origin 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 liquid projected 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. It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation.

When to call for insulation in Sant Genís dels Agudells

This is humidity that forms when warm, vapour-laden indoor air touches 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, and black mould spots on cold wall areas. The most common mistake with dampness is to repaint the affected wall. It works for the first month, then the dampness reappears, worse than before. The new paint now 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 using the appropriate technique and repaint it. Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the dampness reappears at the same spot, we will return at no extra cost.

Materials and brands

In Orihuela Costa, winters are mild. January nights in urbanisations like Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, or Cabo Roig can be colder than many expect, especially in homes with large glass surfaces facing the sea. Well-sized heating makes the difference between a comfortable house and an overwhelming energy bill.
