We provide insulation in Terrassa. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and begin. It is moisture rising from the ground through walls due to the capillarity of porous materials. It manifests as damp stains on the ground floor up to one meter high, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallize as water evaporates). It is typical in old ground-floor homes, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea.

How we work

Rising damp, roof leaks, internal condensation, and saltpeter efflorescence. Diagnosis before action. Chemical injection, external waterproofing, breathable coating, or ventilation as per diagnosis. It depends on the linear meters of the affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, without obligation.

When to call for insulation in Terrassa

The most common mistake with damp is repainting the affected wall. It works for the first month, then the damp reappears, worse than before. Now the new paint creates a barrier that traps water inside the wall. Damp isn't cured by painting. It's 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 common types of damp we see on the Costa Blanca, each with different causes, diagnoses, and treatments. Confusing them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That's why we always start with a diagnostic technical visit before quoting anything. The difference between treating damp well or poorly changes the durability of the result from five years to six months. Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the damp reappears at the same spot, we return.

Materials and brands

In Orihuela Costa, winter is 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-dimensioned heating makes the difference between a comfortable home and an overflowing energy bill. At Manitas, we work with local technicians who know the type of construction in the area, coastal humidity, and the particularities of second homes. We adapt each installation or repair to the actual use the home will be given. The treatment is chemical barrier injection. We drill small holes at the base of the wall at regular intervals and inject a resin that penetrates the wall and forms 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. Removal of damaged rendering, neutralisation of salts, and application of a compatible paint system.

Frequently asked questions

How to distinguish capillary action from filtration?
Capillary action: stain rises from the ground, up to one metre high, white efflorescence. Filtration: stain descends from the ceiling or upper corners, coincides with rain.
How much does a chemical injection cost?
It depends on the linear meters of the affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, without obligation.
How long does the treatment last?
We guarantee chemical injection for 5 years in writing. The reality is that it lasts 15-20 years or more if the treatment is done well and no new source appears.
Do I need to empty the room?
For chemical injection and interior wall repair, yes, at least remove furniture from the affected wall. We use 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.
