Damp Proof Cyprus

Most Cyprus properties do not have a physical damp proof course. The few that do have one installed very often find that due to the poor quality of damp proofing membrane used and the fact that Cyprus suffers from earth tremors there will be a failure of the barrier and sooner or later damp will find its way through and begin to takes it's toll on the building structure. We at Britannica Damp Proofing Specialists inject a proven water resistant chemical especially designed for Mediterranean properties in to the walls of the building. It is absorbed within the brickwork and concrete, upon contact with water. The water resistant chemical crystallises forming a barrier the damp cannot penetrate. The chemical stays within the masonry for a guaranteed period of 20 years, even earth tremors are unable to upset the chemicals waterproofing capabilities.

After applying the damp proof course water will no longer be able to rise within the walls of the property, the existing damp that had previously risen will take between 3 & 6 months to evaporate depending on the level of rising damp prior Britannica water proofing application. Any existing fungus will have its 'life source' cut off and will not be able to spread any further. We also apply fungicide where necessary to speed up the demise of this problematic mould. This is the only long term proven permanent solution currently available to residents upon the island. Cyprus.

An effective water repellent used for the treatment of cementitius substrates, cement asbestos sheets, brickwork, natural and artificial stones. It is quickly absorbed into the surface. It does not form a surface skin that can peel off or get damaged, but penetrates into cement asbestos sheets, brickwork, natural and artificial stones allowing the substrate and allows the surface to breath. Any trapped moisture in the surface will not change upon application.

The rapid shedding of water by treated walls result in the maintaining of a clean appearance. Furthermore, due to its excellent repelling properties, any dirt and deleterious chemicals from the polluted atmosphere will be prevented from penetrating into the substrate and thus increasing tile lift of the walls. The effect of efflorescence is minimised and the risk of frost damage is reduced. It also increases the resistance of the building against carbonation and chloride attack.

It is water repellent which prevents penetration by providing an invisible barrier to all kinds of surfaces including stone, render, wood, bricks, etc. It provides an extremely long life invisible and durable barrier to water penetration on porous surfaces.
