Rising Damp Barriers & Surface Sealing: Protecting Buildings from Ground-Up Moisture Damage

Rising damp remains one of the most common and destructive moisture issues affecting residential, commercial, and heritage buildings across Sydney and greater NSW. Left untreated, moisture travelling upward through masonry and concrete by capillary action can cause significant deterioration to structural elements, internal finishes, and the overall indoor environment.

Our rising damp barrier and surface sealing systems provide a comprehensive, long-term defence against these issues. Using industry-leading remedial coatings, film-forming barriers, and deep-penetrating sealants, our team ensures moisture movement is effectively blocked before it can compromise the building’s integrity.

These solutions are engineered to:

• Create a continuous moisture barrier within masonry substrates

• Prevent salt and mineral migration, which accelerates material decay

• Protect finishes such as plaster, render, paint, and floor coverings

• Improve indoor air quality by minimising the risk of mould and mildew

• Extend the service life of walls, footings, and internal linings

  
  

Whether the building is a heritage property requiring sensitive remedial work, a basement exposed to damp conditions, or any structure located in high-moisture or coastal environments, our treatments are tailored to the specific conditions onsite. We conduct detailed moisture assessments, identify contributing factors, and apply the most effective combination of products to achieve durable, reliable results.

By investing in rising damp barriers and surface sealing, property owners can safeguard both the structural stability and long-term value of their asset—ensuring the building remains dry, healthy, and protected well into the future.
