Paint blistering or wallpaper lifting from the bottom of walls is a classic sign of rising damp drawing moisture up through the masonry.
White, fluffy or crystalline deposits on brickwork or plaster — known as efflorescence — indicate salt damp. These salts are carried up by moisture and left behind when water evaporates.
A persistent musty or earthy odour, especially in ground-floor rooms, often indicates hidden damp. The smell comes from mould and bacteria growing in damp materials.
When salt crystals form inside masonry, they expand and cause the surface to crumble — known as fretting or spalling. This is salt damp and requires specialist treatment.
Our referral service covers all of metropolitan Adelaide and surrounding areas.
Rising damp is moisture from the ground being drawn up through brickwork and masonry by capillary action. Signs include tide marks on walls (typically up to 1 metre high), peeling paint, damp plaster, rotting skirting boards, and a musty smell. A professional moisture test can confirm the diagnosis.
Salt damp occurs when groundwater containing dissolved salts rises into walls. When the water evaporates, salt crystals are left behind. As these crystals grow and contract with humidity changes, they physically break down plaster, mortar, and brick. Adelaide's reactive clay soils and older housing stock make this a common problem locally.
Costs vary significantly depending on the extent of the problem, the treatment method, and your property. A chemical damp-proof course for a typical single-fronted cottage might range from $2,000–$6,000. Full salt damp remediation involving plaster removal, re-rendering, and treatment can be $8,000–$20,000+. An inspection is the only way to get an accurate quote for your specific situation.
Damp repair requires specialist knowledge and equipment. A general builder may not have the diagnostic tools (moisture meters, salt testing) or experience with chemical damp-proof course installation. The specialists we refer have specific damp remediation training and are licensed SA building contractors.
