⚠️ Rising Damp Is Silent, But It Destroys Everything It Touches

You’ve seen the signs — bubbling paint, salty white patches, musty odors, and black mould creeping up walls.
It’s not just unsightly — it’s dangerous.

Rising damp is one of the most misunderstood and most destructive moisture problems facing homes and buildings in Kenya today.

It eats away at walls, floors, finishes, furniture — and even your health. And once it starts, no amount of painting can stop it.

At Phemat Solutions Ltd, we specialize in permanent rising dampness solutions in Kenya, using modern damp-proof injection systems, moisture barriers, and remedial coatings to stop water from traveling up your walls — for good.

💧 What Is Rising Damp — And Why It’s Not Just “A Small Leak”

Rising damp occurs when groundwater is absorbed by walls through capillary action, especially in buildings without a proper Damp-Proof Course (DPC) or where the DPC has failed over time.

It’s a serious issue in:

  • Older homes and flats in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Eldoret

  • Schools and institutions built directly on soil

  • Apartments with concrete floors but no membrane barrier

  • Low-income housing estates or developments in swampy zones

  • Churches, clinics, and office blocks with cracked foundations

Without proper treatment, rising damp causes:

  • Crumbling plaster, peeling paint

  • Mould, fungus, and airborne spores

  • Rusted reinforcement bars inside walls

  • Permanent damage to furniture, electricals, and décor

  • Respiratory issues, allergies, and persistent cold symptoms

It’s not just cosmetic — it’s structural and it’s harmful.

🛠️ Our Proven Rising Damp Treatment System

At Phemat Solutions, we use advanced wall injection and barrier systems to block rising moisture permanently:

01.

Moisture Assessment

We test walls with electronic moisture meters to identify rising damp vs. condensation or leaks.

02.

Chemical DPC Injection

We drill small holes and inject a silicone-based water-repellent gel into affected walls, which spreads and forms a permanent barrier.

03.

Plaster Removal & Salt Neutralization

Damaged wall finishes are removed. We apply salt-blocking primers and sealers to protect from future efflorescence.

04

Replastering & Finishing

Walls are re-rendered with breathable, anti-damp plasters and painted with mould-resistant finishes. Our work is clean, fast, and guaranteed — with visible results in days and long-term peace of mind.

Samuel K. Property Developer

We were developing flats in Westlands and needed waterproofing on the roof and basement. Phemat used bituminous membranes that have lasted 3 years with zero issues.

Eng. Lydia M. Construction Consultant

During a school project in Nakuru, Phemat sealed our flat roof and expansion joints with torch-on membrane. Their team worked well with our main contractor. Highly recommend.

David M. Hotel Facility Manager

We had slab leak issues in our hotel’s podium floor. Phemat stripped the failed layers and torch-applied new membranes. Not a drop since. Professional and neat.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What causes rising damp in buildings?

Rising damp is caused by groundwater being drawn upward through masonry due to capillary action. It’s common where damp-proof courses (DPCs) are missing or failed.

2. How can I tell if it’s rising damp and not just a leak?

Rising damp often shows as dampness at floor level, white salt stains, and mould up to 1.5m on walls. Leaks tend to be isolated or ceiling-based. We perform moisture meter testing to confirm.

3. Is chemical DPC injection safe and permanent?

Yes. We use silicone-based damp-proofing gels that spread laterally in the wall, creating a permanent barrier. It’s non-toxic and KEBS-compliant.

4. Do I need to re-plaster my walls after treatment?

Yes — if the existing plaster is salt-damaged or damp. We use salt-resistant renders and breathable finishes that won’t trap moisture again.

5. How much does rising damp treatment cost in Kenya?

It depends on wall size, severity, and finishes. Contact us for a free on-site assessment and transparent quote.
